paradise unplugged

motorcycled across the everglades last weekend


i love the saltgrass waterways
w/ ibis overhead
and a chorus of bullfrog and gators
i dream of mucking about in the swamp
to find orchids growing wild..

then i met clyde @ his everglades gallery
his life as a naturalist & photographer
left me in awe

he and fellow naturalist found and photographed
the rare "ghost" orchids above

protectors in mud boots
photographers waist deep in swamps

yep, in awe

catch clyde on an upcoming pbs program
or ck him here

walking ontop of these "boinky boards"
playing lifeguard
lots of laughter

beach conditions: slightly silly
