May in the Swamp

Usually, May through June is yellowfly season in the swamp. This means swarms of biting flies that are intent on bleeding you dry before you finish your paddle. These things consider deet to be a condiment.


I was fortunate this time! It seems they are late in coming this year. I spent most of the day in the swamp on friday and didn't even see one single yellowfly!


I did however see many wonderful photo opportunities in the alligators and flowers.


Keep in mind as you look at these, that I am using a very cheap camera without a telescope lense. When it looks like I am close enough to touch it... it is because I really am.


Also, in this set of photos, the date stamp on my camera was reset to the default of 01/01/04 because I had changed batteries and forgot to reset the date.... actual date was 05/09/08!
