This is Eaty.  It isn't an exotic name, she likes to eat so that's what we named her.  I also thought about Nicky because of the nick in her left ear but no.

She's my green eyed lady.  

Don't let her looks fool you, though.  She is a highly efficient killer.

Be sure to always look UP while hanging out in the bush.  Trust me...

Busy little pond here!

perhaps the ugliest creature in the world but just another one of God's awesome creatures.  Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to pet one.

New Stuff

It's new since the last 'stuff', anyway...  It's getting warm again here and has been consistently in the 80's.  Gators are breeding and birds are making it happen, too.  I'm just here to take pictures.  of the 300+ pictures I took, this many were keepers in MY opinion.  But I'm half blind most of the time so you be the judge!

Sometimes when you're hacking through the bush with a razor sharp machete, you have to control those swipes so you don't destroy this kind of wildlife.  It is well worth the self discipline involved!

Around the house...

The first time I saw one of these was in Florida.  I thought the same thing many people think - "neat crab"!  This is really no larger than the fingernail on your pinky.  It also smiles at you, which is fun.  However, these guys will string a web from the ground to the roof.  I hate walking into them...
