&lt;p&gt;The Wildcat pictured above is a young male cat we have seen behind the house in the past few days. We believe he was one of three kittens we witnessed a few weeks ago with the momma and now he is on his own. Very inquisitive little guy. He was following me around as I was positioning to take the pictures.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Monarch Butterflies and the Facts You Probably Didn't Know !!!!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monarch Butterflies&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/0/7/1/5/ar125865237551708.JPG&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;This past weekend, while visiting the Naples Botanical Garden, we had the pleasure of experiencing the Butterfly Garden. The butterfly garden was an enclosed garden area to contain the butterflies and was quite fascinating. While admiring the butterflies, the question arose in our head &quot;how long do butterflies live?&quot;. I had heard in the past about the migration of Monarchs from North America down to Mexico where they can be found in the millions covering tress.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/1/9/1/7/ar125865245571919.JPG&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sooo, the life expectance question lead me to do a little research and here is what I learned....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp; Monarch Butterflies can be found between the Canadian Border down into South America. They can also be found in Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, India, Bermuda, Western Europe, Canary Islands, Central America, New Guinea, Ceylon, the Azores and a few additional places.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Monarchs typically live for 2 months&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Monarchs are the only Butterfly which migrate North &amp;amp; South as birds do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; When Monarchs Migrate , no single Monarch makes the whole journey. Typically it takes 4 generations to migrate in a single direction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Monarchs are poisonous to birds due to the caterpillar stage feeding on milkweed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Monarchs go through 4 life cycles ... &lt;br /&gt;(1) Egg .... Last for 4 days&lt;br /&gt;(2) Caterpillar ... last for 2 weeks&lt;br /&gt;(3) Pupa (chrysalis) &amp;nbsp;... last for 2 weeks&lt;br /&gt;(4) Butterfly ... 2 months&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Monarchs gather in the million in the state of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michoac%C3%A1n&quot; title=&quot;Michoac&amp;amp;aacute;n&quot;&gt;Michoac&amp;aacute;n&lt;/a&gt;, Mexico&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Monarch's wing span is between 3.5 and 4 inches&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Monarchs are one of the few insects that can make Trans-Atlantic crossings&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now you have the rest of the story and some interesting facts about the Monarch butterfly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Butterfly below is NOT a Monarch. Not sure of the name.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/2/1/1/3/ar125865268031121.JPG&quot; height=&quot;600&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;800&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Naples Florida Botanical Garden</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Naples Botanical Garden&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/0/8/7/4/ar12585050247807.JPG&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; style=&quot;float: left;&quot; /&gt;This past weekend was the grand opening of the &quot;New &amp;amp; Improved&quot; Naples Botanical Garden.&amp;nbsp; From the news reports they increased the size of the garden and added many new plantings..... regardless, since I had not been there previously, it was all new to me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Now, keep in mind that Naples, Florida is known for being an extremely wealthy community where business executives come to retire. With that in mind, you will be surprised to know that the planting in the picture to the left was one of the more popular sites at the garden.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;(Not what I was expecting.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/0/6/5/4/ar125850540345603.JPG&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The Botanical Garden is an awesome place showing off many of the various exotic tropical plants located in South Florida, Central America and South America. They had a very interesting and fascinating butterfly garden with numerous butterflies fluttering around.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/2/0/2/5/ar125850546552027.JPG&quot; height=&quot;206&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;275&quot; style=&quot;float: left;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/5/2/3/7/ar125850562173259.jpg&quot; height=&quot;488&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;275&quot; style=&quot;float: left;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;As an addition attraction, they had a lady dressed as a vine walking around on stilts. She looked very realistic, except for the &quot;walking&quot; part.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Here is a pic of her below and to the left.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/6/4/2/ar125850574224656.jpg&quot; height=&quot;309&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;275&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An extra special bonus for those who visited this past weekend was a FREE potted plant when you left. Made for a great gift for mom or that special someone, you just don't tell them it was FREE!!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Here are a few extra pictures from the botanical garden...&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Sandsculpting Contest on Fort Myers Beach, Florida....... 2009</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello Folks,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last week was the annual Fort Myers Beach Sandsculpting&amp;nbsp; Contest. &amp;nbsp;The contest started about midweek and ended with the final awards ceremony being on Sunday November 8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; at 1:00pm. In normal fashion, I just HAD to go down and check out the artwork.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Upon arriving I was informed that &amp;lsquo;things had changed&quot; in regards to the contest and public participation / viewing ..... This year the &quot;powers to be&quot; put up a barrier around the sand sculpting area and if you wanted into &quot;the area&quot; you would have to pay a fee. In the past this has always been a FREE event to view. Fortunately the boundaries which allowed for FREE viewing were not very far away and if you had a camera which would ZOOM, then you would have pictures just like you were standing next to the sculpture. ...... provided you arrived early enough to beat the crowd.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below are some pictures of the sand sculpting artwork, I will also add that I believe last year's sculptures were a bit nicer, but everyone has their own opinion and who am I to complain ..... I couldn't come close to the quality of artwork these people produce. Heck my &quot;castles&quot; would be composed of sand being packed into a small bucket and then flipped upside down to create my masterpiece.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/3/7/6/6/ar12578813466737.jpg&quot; height=&quot;800&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;749&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Commercial Property Refinancing&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Industry experts are projecting that over a TRILLION Dollars in Commercial Loans will have to be refinanced in 2009 and 2010. Many of these commercial properties may not qualify for a traditional refinance due to their property values decreasing over the past 12 to 18 months and the current &quot;Equity&quot; is now below industries standards, but this is not an issue with our preferred Investment Bank. &amp;nbsp;They will bring the needed &quot;Equity&quot; to the table to help you finance your current loan.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;International Financing Solutions&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has partnered with world renown Investment Bank that is closing &amp;amp; funding Commercial Refinances on a weekly basis. This bank will lend in all of the 50 states, Canada, the Caribbean, Central America and other parts of the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Max LTV is 65%, but can be exceeded on occasion OR the IB can bring additional Equity to the closing table in order to qualify&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Very Competitive Rates, as low as 5%&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Funds Provided by Private Investment Banks&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Loans will be either a Conventional Refinance or &amp;nbsp;a Hard Money loan .... Depending on current condition of property &amp;amp; revenues&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Closing typically occur within 30 to 45 days of receipt of all required documents&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Virtually all property Types considered&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Multi-Family&lt;br /&gt;&amp;bull; Retail - Shopping Malls , Strip Center, free Standing&lt;br /&gt;&amp;bull; Warehouses&lt;br /&gt;&amp;bull; Office Buildings&lt;br /&gt;&amp;bull; Self Storage Facilities&lt;br /&gt;&amp;bull; Hotels&lt;br /&gt;&amp;bull; Resorts&lt;br /&gt;&amp;bull; Marinas&lt;br /&gt;&amp;bull; Development projects which are partially completed&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Residential Financing Alternative to Gain 100% Purchase Money .....</title>
      <description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Residential Financing Alternative to gain 100% Purchase Money&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since the meltdown of the mortgage industry roughly 24 months ago, numerous people have found it extremely difficult to secure a residential mortgage. Many of these people are quite wealthy, but due to either having bad credit, unreported income, or due to the way their accounts structures their finances since they are self-employed .... They find themselves in a position which makes qualifying for a conventional loan very difficult.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The best solution for those people who own securities (Stocks, Bonds, Etc.) is to use these items as collateral for the loan and then pay cash for the house.&amp;nbsp; They can secure a loan from 3 to 10 years while making interest only payments and then a balloon payment at the end of the term or renew the loan for another 3 to 10 years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why is this such a great alternative option for a residential loan?????&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; The residence is never used as collateral and never at risk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Borrower has a FIXED Interest rate is BELOW 4.5% at Interest Only payments&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; No Closing costs&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; No Up Front Fees&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; No Appraisal required&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; No Credit Check&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; No Income Verification&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Loans Available for up to 80% of Securities value&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;bull; Loan can close in DAYS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Better yet ...&lt;/strong&gt;.. We can secure these loans on clients anywhere in the United States or Internationally!!!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;____________________________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Realtors .....&lt;/strong&gt; Would you like more information to increase your number of closing for the year?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Borrowers / buyers .....&lt;/strong&gt; Would you like to save yourself THOUSANDS of Dollars????&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mortgage Broker's ......&lt;/strong&gt; This is a great Alternative to get your borrower funded and you can still make some money instead of saying &quot;bye bye&quot; to the client.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Contact us today via email for additional information on this awesome program&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:sallen11867@aol.com&quot;&gt;sallen11867@aol.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PS: The last BENEFIT to this program ...... the borrower can use their money from the loan to do ANYTHING they want to... buy a house, buy a business, expand a business, buy a boat or yacht.... We DON'T care what their &amp;lsquo;Use of Funds&quot; will be (provided it is legal)!!!!!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Money to Complete Commercial Flipping...........</title>
      <description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Need money to complete your Commercial Real Estate Flips?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;International Financing Solutions&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has the solution for completing your Commercial Flips. We have partnered with a Private Trust which is providing money to real estate investors so they can complete the flips on commercial properties (program can also be used on residential flips).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The capital is provided so that the real estate investor can finance the purchase of the commercial property long enough to get it re-sold to the end buyer. Both transactions must be completed within a 24 hour period which makes this a very short term loan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The benefits&amp;nbsp;are&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; No Out-of-pocket expense to the real estate investor on the day of the closing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Loans can be as low as $200,000 with no maximum limit. (Our team recently closed a $150 Million deal)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Real Estate Investor has no risk involved&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; An extremely fast way to make a very nice profit and not have to use your own money to acquire the property before re-selling it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Closings can happen within 7 business days of completion and review of application.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Real Estate Investor can utilize program as often as they need.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; No Credit Checks, No Income Checks, No long due diligence period to qualify&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Program good in ALL 50 states and most foreign countries.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;This program via the Private Trust makes the flipping process extremely easy and quite lucrative for those people engaged in flipping commercial or residential properties.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>'Makin the Cut&quot; Barber Shop - Bonita Springs, Florida</title>
      <description>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Need an excellent barber in the Bonita Springs, Florida area? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Someplace that provides outstanding results, is speedy, and is very economical?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then you deserve to treat yourself to a haircut at &amp;lsquo;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Makin the Cut&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; on Old 41 in Bonita Springs, Florida.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Antoinette &amp;amp; her partner opened their shop only a few months ago with outstanding results. Their shop is located in a new strip center named &quot;The Shoppes at Hawthorne&quot; which sits on the east side of Old 41 between the US Post Office and Buffalo Chips restaurant. Easy to find and more importantly, easy to access off of Old 41.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Antoinette has been cutting my hair for the past 5 years and has always done an outstand job. Very personable, enjoyable to talk to and does a fabulous job making sure you walk out of the shop looking like a &amp;lsquo;GQ&quot;. Their hours are very convenient ..... Mon - Fri from 8am to 5pm and Saturdays from 8am to 2pm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the years, before finding Antoinette, I have had difficulty finding a quality barber. The old adage about haircuts has been ...&quot;The difference between a bad haircut and a good haircut is two weeks&quot;, well, I've never had that problem in the past 5 years and I'm sure her partner is equally as qualified.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are in the Bonita Springs area and in need of a quality barber, then please stop by and ask for Antoinette. I guarantee you that she will do an excellent job cutting your hair.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Backyard wildlife ...</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello folks,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thought I would share some pics of the backyard wildlife I just had the pleasure of experiencing. Was sitting on my back lania which doubles as my office when I heard an odd noise. Looked up and it was the momma wildcat and right behind her was a baby. The wildcat was roughly 8 feet away from me and when the baby saw me she ran off into the brush.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Went and got my camera and followed them into the brush (barefooted by the way) and got a couple nice pictures. There were actually 2 babies with the momma.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Here is a pic of the momma. She is a bit bigger than the normal house cat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/5/1/6/7/ar125675326476157.JPG&quot; height=&quot;491&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;700&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Here is one of the babies. he decided to plop down in the shade and take it easy. I was about 12 feet away when taking picture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/6/0/8/5/ar125675333758065.JPG&quot; height=&quot;526&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;700&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Hope you've enjoyed the pictures.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Shark Valley</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello Folks,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just finished with an awesome weekend. Sunday was spent driving through the Everglades and visiting Everglades national Park and more specifically &quot;Shark Valley&quot;. The name can be quite deceiving since there are NO Sharks at Shark valley, unless you happen upon an SNL type of Land Shark!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the way to Shark Valley we took a deture down a very scenic road named &quot;Loop Road&quot;. I had not been down Loop Road in abour 6 or 7 years, but remember it being a beautiful place to drive for someone who enjoys wildlife and mother nature. Loop Road is just West of Shark Valley off of Hwy 41 and is a gravel, sand and sometimes muddy road ...... My Honda Accord looks like we went &quot;4-wheelin' in it and is in BAD need of a washing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The scenic road takes you back into the Everglades, through a huge swampy area inundated with Cypress Trees, Florida birds and the occasional Alligator. On both sides of the road for 85% of the drive is water.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are some pics from Sunday (10-25-09) adventure..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/0/2/0/3/ar125656552730202.JPG&quot; height=&quot;683&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;700&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Cypress Trees along &quot;Loop Road&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/9/7/4/3/ar125656560734797.JPG&quot; height=&quot;800&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;703&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Below is a picture of 'Al jr.&quot;. He was sitting right next to the road ... roughly 5 feet from me when I took the picture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/9/1/7/2/ar125656566727198.JPG&quot; height=&quot;392&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;700&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Below is the largest Alligator I've ever seen on out in the wild, tour guide said this guy is 14+ feet long. His head was roughly the width ofand length of my torso.... If not bigger!!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;View is from the Observation Tower at Shark Valley.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/5/4/1/6/ar125656579661459.JPG&quot; height=&quot;476&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;700&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&quot;Al jr.&quot; at Shark Valley&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;View of the &quot;Sea of Grass&quot; from Observation tower at Shark Valley.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Flying Jet Ski ......</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello Folks,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below is a series of pictures from the past few weeks off the beaches in Southwest Florida. Weather is starting to cool down a little and the humidity is dropping making for awesome days on the ebach.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Here is a pic of a guy jumping waves on the north end of Bonita Beach, Florida....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/0/5/1/8/ar125467514581503.JPG&quot; height=&quot;455&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;700&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Same day that the guy was jumping waves on the Jet Ski, there were a couple other people enjoying the wind with their surf boards&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/4/9/2/2/9/ar125467523192294.JPG&quot; height=&quot;800&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;597&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Exotic Pousonous Snake Bites Man in South Florida .....</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello Folks,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the past few years, South Florida has been battling the spread of various Python Snake species. Florida is also home to numerous 'Exotic&quot; animal species from birds, fish, mammals, to&amp;nbsp;reptiles. I've always been wondering when an &quot;Exotic&quot; poisonous snake would show up out in the wild.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, on Wedneday August 20th, a Comcast cable employee was working outside an apartment building in Hollywood, Florida when he was attacked by a Green Mamba Snake. The snake bit him causing the worker to be rushed to the hospital for anti-venom.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fortunately the Comcast worker is recovering well, but the snake was never found !!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sooooo, now that it wasn't worrisome enough to be watching for large Pythons, now we need to be watching for Mambas or other exotic poisonous snakes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is the Article for your review ...... &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.miamiherald.com/news/florida/AP/story/1197766.html&quot;&gt;http://www.miamiherald.com/news/florida/AP/story/1197766.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Oh My .... That is in the water??</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello folks,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I stumbled across a sea critter tonight on the beach which I had never seen before. What was odd is that in all the years I've been walking the beach (15+ years), I've never seen these critters before and tonight, I must have seen 20 to 30 of them. Quite odd.....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;This little guy was about three inches long and found in the shallow water (only a few inches deep). At first I thought it was some type of plant growth until I realized it was moving across the bottom on the sand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/8/8/2/0/ar125073347202881.JPG&quot; height=&quot;592&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;700&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Here are some pics of the sunset from tonight also...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/4/1/4/4/ar125073361944143.JPG&quot; height=&quot;525&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;700&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/4/2/5/0/ar12507336605249.JPG&quot; height=&quot;525&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;700&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Hope you have enjoyed the photos.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
