Instead of the traditional “northern” style Christmas family get together served with Turkey and dressing we decided to take a Christmas boat excursion on the waterways of our home area around Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The six of us: Jo my wife;…

Pink Sky
Pink Sky, originally uploaded by QuakerVille. I love it when there is pink in the sky. The Roseate Spoonbill is such an unusual bird that you have to look at it whenever it’s around. In the evening as the sun sets they like to move from tree to tree, looking for a suitable spot to…

The Herd is on the Move
The Herd is on the Move, originally uploaded by QuakerVille. Via Flickr: Very watchful this herd moves across the prairie field and through the Orange grove.

Downy Woodpecker at 3 Lakes
One of the neatest little Woodpeckers is the Downy Woodpecker. It is small and, even though monochromatic, beautiful.
