They are endangered I am told with shrinking habitat across the Caribbean and Florida but they seem to be doing quite well in my world. I have seen a few white crowned pigeons a cross the canal from my house but there are a whole bunch of them out in the seed filled trees where I walk Rusty.
My goal is to get lucky and catch one of nature's living bullets flying past my lens. They are fast and dodge tree tops as they go, leaving you holding your breath as they dip out of sight moving so fast you aren't quite sure they were there. Somehow I saw three of them waiting for something in the trees and I contented myself with classic bird on a stick photos of these elusive creatures. 
The weekends see tons of car traffic coming into and out of the Keys as big city workers seek brief relief in these islands. This weekend especially many more cars have two or more occupants for the Labor Day holiday. Not a mile away I wander with my camera seeking my own relief from the day with my camera in Nature. I enjoy looking for anomalies in the shrubbery. I think of my summer trip Up North and remember fondly the light and the shadows, the curves and the variety of colors and here we are. A shaft of light, strands of cobwebs, nuggets of green. 
IF I allowed myself I could drive myself nuts by thinking about the good old days, dinner out, friends, plays, concerts, movies but what would be the point? I have Rusty my camera and my wife and a comfortable home and even a canal in which to swim. Could be worse.

I really like when you into the brush and focus close-up on nature, especially the patterns and play-on-light-and-shadow. I like them a lot more than the true "scenic" shots. Your eye for these patterns is truly artistic. Thank you for sharing them with us. I've been enjoying your blog for quite a long time now and appreciate it quite a bit from Central NJ.
Thank you. I get some curious questions from a few passersby who stop their cars wondering what I see. No one else finds these mangrove woods as interesting as I do. Except you!
I'm giving a testimony on how me and my fiance became a vampire. This was how I and my fiance became Vampire, I was browsing the internet searching on how i could be transformed. When i came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I and my fiance has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES so he asked me my name, country, State, address, photo, etc. and asked me to contact the market of spells for the Hindu materials required for our transformation. So I did and he said that a vampire will be assigned to guide us and direct us on how the items are to be used. After five days I and my fiance was totally a vampire. if you are interested in becoming a vampire, contact him for more information on how you could also be transformed.
