Ron looking sharp in his Midland Hills hat.
Red-shouldered hawk hanging out for a photo-shoot.
The same red-shouldered hawk.
The unusually dry prairie at Corkscrew Swamp.
Some plants were still mustering the "lush" look.
A cypress tree with lots of lichen.
The same cypress...
One of the few barred owls which inhabit Corkscrew.
The barred owl.
A little rest for the weary at the pavillion overlooking the expansive swampy lands.
Father and sun, catching some rays.
The expansive swampy prairie (?).
Immature egret in some of the rare wet areas.
The little egret again.
A better shot of the egret.
And now a mature one saunters along.
The sunning skink.
There's a purple gallun over there near the base of the plant growth.
Birdlife abounds.
Can you see the alligator hiding out?
An anhingas drying its feathers (they secrete very little of the oil which keeps most water birds' wings dry).
Closer shot of the anhingas.
Ron and Karen enjoy Sunday brunch at the Spring Run clubhouse.
Randy joins in for the photo as they all gear up for a round of 18.
Palms decorate the front entrance to the Spring Run clubhouse.
Karen stays out of trouble, as usual.
Here comes the sandy.
Putting from the Bermuda is recommended whenever possible.
Patient around the green.
Karen takes her time.
Waits until she's got it lined up just right...
Catching Karen on the follow-through.
On the wind-up.
I forget this guy's name now, but he was our 4th.
A good-looking backswing.
At address.
Where's the follow-through on this guy's swing?!
That one could be going in the water.
The putt...
The follow-through...
The result...
Happy with that hole, I think!
Ron and Karen just relaxing for a moment.
Karen lines up the putt.
The camera man never did wait long enough to snap during the actual putting stroke.
She's going to be happy with that shot.
A toast to my wonderful hosts, to Doc's burgers, and to the Gulf of Mexico.
Ron and Karen wait in the wind for a table to open up at the ever-popular Doc's.
Randy in front of Doc's.
Our tour guide at the Edison-Ford Winter Estates.
A tribute to Edison's mother.
A look back at one of the world's first swimming pools.
The river runs right past the Estates.

Ron near some Ford model A's and T's.
The Ford home.
The world's 2nd or 3rd largest banyan tree.
There's that tree again. When a branch grows too far to support itself, it sends a shoot down to support itself. Then the growth continues.
Inside Edison's chemistry lab. Edison's big agri-chemistry effort went toward developing a type of ragweed which could be used to make rubber.
Another shot of Edison's lab.
Edison's lab again.
