Back to Fort Myers Beach
Jan. 1st, 2014 05:54 pm
On the second to last day of the vacation we decided to return to Fort Myers Beach. We had enjoyed it before, and it was close enough to the last place we wanted to visit (the Edison/Ford) house, and we were not disappointed by going back.

As I said earlier, we stayed at the Tween Waters Inn, in a room on the top floor of the building behind my dad in this picture. We were told that since it's "cold," that the manatees have moved away from the ocean into warmer inland waters.

First snapshot with the new lens. Eh, not bad for a bunch of filing cabinets. I like that it goes wider than my old lens. Hows the macro?
Funny you should ask. It doesn't actually have a macro setting, but it focuses fairly close, as you can see from this shot of the tiny break on my old lens.
And not a bad grab of the sunset--don't know if I can credit the optics or whatever with the fact that you can see the houses in the foreground and yet the sky isn't washed out, but I like it. We've had really nice sunsets lately--too bad they're coming at 4:25.

I stood on a chair to get this view of my living room and Parkway Road beyond.
Meanwhile, at Leverett Pond, waterfowl huddle on the diminishing unfrozen area.
The sun beginning to set at 4ish.

This spider was found in a shipment of crickets. The Children's Zoo staff are now keeping it in a little terrarium as a sort of mascot in their lounge. I tried to identify it but it remains unknown to me.
This orange jelly fungus is only about an inch across. It's emerging from a painted bench. It might be witch's butter, but since that species is usually found on hardwoods and is a parasite of Stereum fungi, and this bench is most likely made of pine and probably doesn't have Stereum in it, I'm leaning toward Dacrymyces, an orange jelly that grows on pines and hemlocks.
