Insane

Using a net to catch shrimp off Jekyll.  Seining.  More like insaning.  Or, if you do it fast, usaning.

Flutterbees

I have not done much to this site since Patagonia but it's time to get back to work.  Here is some action from our Flutterbee Bush that I shot yesterday.  Flutterbees got their name from one of our young Spanish exchange students who got overly excited watching moths self combust when they got too close to our camp fire many summers ago.  In his excitement he could not think of the correct name in English, but his name for them seems even better.  They make a nice substitute for fireworks on a hot summer night.

Lazy

This post is about laziness....I have been too lazy to even pick up the camera since Patagonia.  So.... one last series.  Go see Patagonia if you love landscapes.  No place on earth as beautiful and deserted.  But this will not last.  Most of our traveling was over dirt and gravel roads that will soon be paved.  The Burger Kings and Wal-Marts will follow.

Gatoring

L and R watch in stunned silence as a picturesque scene with mountains and wild horses turns into a wild dance party.  The horses began doing the "gator".  This was exactly like we did it back in my college days in the frat house.  With Maurice Williams singing "Stay" or Duke Tomato doing "I want to tie you up", reasonably intelligent students would lay down in the beer soaked basement floor of the "house" and wiggle around with white boy rhythm.  This was ostensibly to impress girls.  The horses possibly have the same goal.  Also seen in the last two shots is a Gaucho, stunned to see the piggies forming a Conga Line.

Fire and Ice

The Patagonian landscapes remind me of fire and ice.....blues of the rivers, sky and glaciers; reds and oranges of the steppe and sun.  Some more interpretive landscapes.  Also, I forgot to include the photo of the Blacksburg Why-not-go's from the last post.  Here they are having lunch at the convention.
