This is a fine series of photos. I think I will be driving around Micanopy this next weekend... seriously. I really would like to see these Florida wetlands. Our small lake is 2/3s DNR protected wetlands along the shore and we have incredible Michigan waterfowl (a couple hundred Sandhill Cranes will welcome Old Horsetail when he comes for a visit in April) but I need to know my Florida birds better. I like your Little Blue.<BR/><BR/>I'll take 67 and sunny- hold it right there until Thursday. Cooler nights are fine. Here's the current weather report for Ann Arbor, MI: 30F, mostly cloudy, 76% humidity, winds 8 mph WNW, and most importantly! the barometric pressure is 30.16 and rising. Have a great day and thanks for your visits and comments!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-1136844286973295202006-01-09T17:04:00.000-05:002006-01-09T17:04:00.000-05:00Hick,Not much of an accent...I have this theory th...Hick,<BR/>Not much of an accent...I have this theory that coastal cities produce less southern twang than inland areas. I do pronounce "our" as "are" way too often, but unfortunately I don't have a southern drawl, cajun je ne se quois, or Scottish accent. <BR/>That last thing is just because I'm a big Sean Connery fan.<BR/><BR/>Rurality,<BR/>Ocala has grown so, there is probably more Yankee speech to emulate. The accent is on the Mick. <BR/><BR/>Macbean Gene,<BR/>Righto! I used to love Sopchoppy, back when the police department was a payphone.<BR/><BR/>RD,<BR/>Paynes is outside of Gainesville, our nearest big city. It's about 45-50 miles. There is a lot of wildlife there. If it had been a summer day, there would have been numerous gators along the roadside.<BR/><BR/>DPR,<BR/>I know there are trails that skirt the perimeter, but I am not sure about restrictions on bushwacking or paddling the marsh.R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-1136833159506002632006-01-09T13:59:00.000-05:002006-01-09T13:59:00.000-05:00Great looking prairie.

I've been wondering...As a native Floridian, do you have a regional accent? Somehow I picture you with a slight Cajun twang. Heh! Just kidding...(I was reminded of this question when you gave us a pronunciation guide.)Karen Schmautzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882229236585238584noreply@blogger.com
