Ya know the alligators, and snakes don't bother me, but Florida sure has some of the ugliest spiders.  I have come across a few of them in the woods, and you're like oh my gosh....

Really cool pics.....

thanks cheropride. ran into that spider while fishing the anclote river. new yorker for life, country boy at heart.

NyRaptor,
 I got a good friend that moved here from L.I. about 12 yrs. ago.
I think it's called Lake Ronkonkomo or somethin like that, he had a State park that backed up to his neighborhood & he would ride his ATC Tecate around there when he was younger.
He's in Tampa now, been doing A/C work,refigeration, walk in coolers & ice machines since he was a kid(3rd generation A/C Tech). He's real good at it to if you ever need an A/C man , company name is "Coolinheat"(Tampa)

Great pics! I was born here and have not traveled much. I really started to appreciate the scenery and weather here when we went to Las Vegas last week. It was SO dry and just plain depressing! No grass, no real landscaping...NOTHING! The clerk at the hotel was floored when I told her about all the alligators here  :D I was there for about 2 days before I really started to miss home :) I even missed the love bugs  :D

lake ronkokoma, good bass fishing when it's not frozen. thanks for the hook up.

i hear ya on the homesick thing mrs. n. i love florida but i get homesick alot. we'll probably go up again this summer for a few weeks.

that sunset pic,,,,was that during a smoky day or hurricane-a-coming ;-)

with my last job I got to travel the eastern part of the country a bit,,,,,,I appreciated growing up and living in La Florida even more after coming home,,,,,except when coming in from Texas and going down I-10 ;-)

three years?   wow, great timing you had with the hurricanes huh?

Id@

hey ida, just in time for the hurricanes! the sunset was from my driveway last year. here's some old one's.

the above looks like the "purple Pit" about 5-6 miles North of Big Scrub campground.

Great pictures! What camera do you shoot with?

Great fishing the Anclote River.  That's where I go when I fish w/ my Aunt and Uncle.  Man I wished they lived closer.  Great pics.

thanks. i use my digital video camera for still shots. not easy to get clear ones.

you are correct ida.

the anclote cuts through our community. i sneak back there and ride sometimes but now they are building townhomes on it :(

2nd pic was my secret spot.

underwater manatee pics. oops thats me  ;D ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

I used to live near the anclote river not far from the power plant when I was younger.I'll tell you one thing that place was a rattle snake haven.
