Mike, you are a rare "bird". I don't know anyone ready to wade to his chest in swamp goo to get photos of birds or Ghosts. I admire this devotion on your part.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Hi Mike,

I'm glad you are ok. There are a couple of wood storks in that last photo...very cool!

Is that one gator road kill? It looks that way to me.

By the way, the water will recede in the winter during the dry season. I've been out there in March, and it wasn't too bad, although not much was blooming.
