Heading out on a big boat
Down in the engine room
Inside, on the main deck
Up in the tuna tower
Hello down there
Lounging up top
Thinking about taking the helm
Clearing the point at Ocean Reef
Heading out to sea
Betty relaxing on the bench
About to launch the balloon
Up and away
Three lines in the water
Managing the lines
Taking a break from the duties
Opening beers
Fish on the line
Early in the fight
The long saga continues
Some early jumping
Deceivingly close to the boat
It's a sailfish
Still out of the water
A big sailfish, estimated at 100 lbs
More thrashing around
Visible under the surface
Still has energy to jump
Bringing it in at last, two and a half hours later
Done at last
Blisters from the battle
Voila!
Victory pose
Flying the flag
Sunset approaches at Buccaneer Island
Wrapped and lit
Mangroves in the waning light
Smooth as glass
Color in the east
Last loungers
Deepening oranges
Coral breakwater
Santa sails in
Perfectly medium-rare prime rib
Heading out on a Christmas cruise
Empty canal
Wishing we were actually returning from a fishing outing
Another boat out
Taking in the scenery
Tucked onto the post
On alert
Into the channel
Raptor overhead
Stacy and Lisa
Cutting through the channel to the bay side
Card Sound Road bridge
Nice boat and house to match
Soaking up the sun
Nearing the end of our cruise
Working on core strength
New speaker paired and in operation
Brain coral bench
Bright colors
Accessorized
Channel to the marina at sunset
Christmas sunset
Big boat on the horizon
A friendly card game
Enjoying the rejuvenated hot tub
Orchids and bromeliads
Tom and Betty
Family shot
Giving some direction
All five of us
Max and Marna
Ruth chomps into an apple
An array of puppets
Unwrapping the Boogie Board
Max as center of attention
Max gets a Boogie Board too
Separating the foam bits
Sitting down for dinner
From the other end of the tables
Brewing up some trouble
And back to a mellower disposition
Cookie tray
Wisconsin, featuring I-94
Choosing carefully
The grab bag gets underway
Max puts his new camera to use
The whole gang
Frost inside the window frame
Ruth gets her nails done
Photo attack
Lots of pink
Storytime for Max
Chowing at Culver's
Parental getaway
Nicely crusted rental car
Jill gets cookies to go
Out in the cold night air
Looking down Nixon Ave
Across East Capitol Drive
Old and young baboons
Caught in the grooming act
Gnawing
Leading the migration
Klipspringer in the new Africa Rocks section
Rock hyrax doing its best rock impression
Irridescent bird
Lily pad flower
Lily pad flowers
Penguin lineup, including Simon
Bright white
Paul and Jeni, unaware of the dangers lurking above
Gradually learning about their presumed predator
