Danny's slides from Florida

	The view from the water's edge at Largo Lodge. This is the bay side of Key Largo. Water is calm and shallow. We did some swimming around here, but not much.
	Anne-Lise relaxing at Largo Lodge.
	Inside our place at Largo Lodge. Danny had his own place very much like ours. Not as nice Parmer's Place, but acceptable.
	We found a bird place while driving one day. They find injured birds and try to get them to recover here. Lots of different kinds of birds. Very hot, but quite interesting. Here is a shot of a pink flamingo.
	At the end of one of the wooden walkways that run through the place, there's a wood wall that acts as a blind, so you can see wild birds up close.
	In John Pennekamp state park, there's a wooden walkway that runs through the mangrove swamp. Mosquitos are a real problem here, so you have to wear DEET. Very Mystian experience! This is a fish swimming in a mangrove "river".
	View of the mangrove "river" from a lookout.
	A shot of the walkway. Kindalike Channelwood.
	This is Far Beach at John Pennekamp state park. I spent most of my time swimming here. Water is warm. Not too crowded. Good place to learn swimming.
	Another shot of the same beach.

	Yet more sunset!
	Peter enjoying the sunset. Very mellow.

	An Anole. It lowers its brightly colored neck flap to let us know who's in charge.
	A sea turtle in the Everglades.
	The swamp in the Everglades.
	At a few feet elevation, this area of the 'Glades supports more normal plant life.
	A lizard in the same area as the above tree.
	We took a boat trip in the 'Glades. Here you can see mongroves forming new land. Nothing but water all around. The seed pods float at first, so they can be carried by the current, then they sink and take root.
	The view from the boat.
	Mangroves growing at the water's edge, as seen from the boat. The mangroves grow all the way back.
	View of a trail that runs along the side of the canal. This is where alligators get in and out of the water.
	Peter in the boat.
	Tree bark. We're back near the entrance to the 'Glades. This is the area where we saw all the big colorful grasshoppers. Tried to take a walk in the woods, but mosquitos made that quite impossible!
	Sign at the entrance informing us that mosquitos are no small problem! We had to stop on the way out to catch this strange sign!
