It wanted to fight the broom. Used a garden hose to send him back into the swamp. Neighbor texted me, “There’s a gator on your lanai.” Suppose I’d have to call someone’s it was much bigger.

Nephew’s in town staying with us. He’s a photographer, roadie, etc. with a band called Mom Jeans and they’re going on tour tomorrow. He came down a couple days early. Had to take him back to the Preserve. Heat index was over 100°, and the flies were biting, so we didn’t stay long. He sleeps late so we didn’t get down there until late in the morning. Brought along the old Oly E-M5 with the 14-150 mounted.

Three years ago at Cayuga Lake. Much cooler there. Heat index is 110° here, an hour before noon, two hours before solar noon, in .

Visited one of the amenities yesterday, Settlers Pond. Very nice place. Saw a lot of ducks. Went back this morning with the and the 100-400mm zoom. Tried to get some ducks in flight. Not exactly my strong suit, but I think I can get some practice there. (Also need to get some practice on editing.) These are black bellied whistling ducks. They sound like squeaky toys when vocalizing.

In otter news, this morning’s bird…

Another first for me here in . The swallow-tailed kite was a first recently. These otters are the first I believe I’ve seen, or at least photographed (barely), here. I’d seen otters fairly often at the condo, not so much here.

Toward the end of my walk this morning. Swallow-tailed kite. There were two of them. I first spotted one being harassed by mockingbird over the preserve. They were too far away for a decent shot. (Though I took many.) Then near very end, this one was right overhead. I should have dialed up the exposure compensation a lot more.

A few shots from that trip. Brought along an Olympus Tough TG-6. Not art by any means.

My wife Mitzi organized a local paddle at the Nocatee landing with AyoLane Halusky. It was a great experience. Highly recommended and glad to see him getting a little press.
