MAY 2021
May is here, and LA is getting ready to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Many people believe it is a remembrance of the Battle of Puebla, but it really is a celebration of MY birthday :-)) It's so nice when everyone is happy on one's birthday! This month's photo is a bit different from the others in that it has a definite subject! It was captured on the Big Cypress Bend Boardwalk in 2011. I had gotten together for a reunion with some of my Peace Corps buddies in Venice, Florida. I took the opportunity to spend some extra time in the swamps and byways of the Western Everglades. Having never spent any time in Florida, it was a new experience. The flora and fauna there are all not found in SoCal :-)) The Boardwalk was quiet, I had it to myself, and there were many birds and reptiles along the way. I did fear for the bird, but nothing happened while I was there! The "cousin" hanging out down the road a bit. Where's the Barbie...
