The December full moon is today, December 11th. It's also the birthday of the great American writer and poet Jim Harrison. Throw in a negative low tide and you have three great things going on today. Last week I spent some time camping on Cayo...
Evette and Sun traveled with me exploring many unique spots. Evette wanted to find a pair of angel wings. We managed to find some angel wings but not a "pair". Evette found some nice kings crown shells. They look a little dirty in the photo...

Sheri and her daughter Samantha had booked a trip with me over 200 days ago. I was concerned about the weather. The weekend brought bands of rain and dismal weather in general. Sunny then sideways rain. I was pleased the weather worked with us...
