Florida Parting Shots


If you  wonder why Sandra is not in too many of our pictures - it is because she  had to work - so we took our  side trips when she is working - to places she has already been.  This day we went to the bay and looked for specimens for the nature center and or Adam's aquarium.




I would often have to take my critters to Adam and ask "What's This?"  It was rather fun to hear him say he had never seen one of those...so we will take it home and look it up!  

We caught snails - hermit crabs - blue crabs (put  back)  green shrimp -regular shrimp -  clams (they actually have heads!) and a very active "blenny"  a carnivorous fish that can hide in a snail shell and jump out and eat stuff!  Do not put these in an aquarium with  creatures smaller than him....he will take them out!

We also caught long nose pipe fish,  but we put them back as they are endangered.

and in case you wondered...you do have to have a fishing license to capture stuff!


 Tahlia and Nancy played on the  shore and watched...(and took pictures) eager to see what we brought back





  a Crawdad..dad...or a prawn - we put him back too.
