A Debt to Be Repaid

Now, as a photographer, I hate to admit it when I get caught with my pants down.  Bottom line, before Doc and I left for the Bahamas I knew I had only packed one camera battery, but I just COULD NOT find the other I had handy.  Thankfully, when my one battery inevitably stopped working, our friend Joe stepped in.  In order to repay my debt to Joe for allowing me to steal his camera battery for almost a month, I promised to take photos of birds in the Everglades.  Joe loves birds.  For lending me a battery, I love Joe.  I don't love birds... but here is my first attempt at avian photography.  Also threw in a photo of the token Everglades 'gator, the dolphins for proof, and a couple photos of weird plants from Key West.  Sorry again that everything is in as-shot condition.  I normally wouldn't do that, but we're in Sebring, FL where the tornadoes are knocking at our hotel room door (can't camp in a tornado!) and the power may die and take the internet with it at any moment.  Next up... Doc Does Disney!
