Loggerhead sea turtle tracks. The group of journalists witnessed a nesting loggerhead Friday evening around 10pm. That same night, a total of 65 loggerheads nested there! The next evening I went out on the beach with my friend Kelly Stewart who is studying Florida's nesting leatherback turtles and we saw one! Hadn't seen one of them since Costa Rica in '99 and it was very, very cool. As we traversed the beach on the ATV and using a night-vision scope, we saw dozens of nesting loggerheads!
Water lettuce on the shore - Everglades' Kissimmee River restoration area. They have "resnaked" the river from having previously straightened and channelized it.

Lake O, Lake O
It's full of schmung
Lake O, Lake O
Its fish have lungs
Lake O, Lake O
An eco-terrorist's dream
Dynamite that levee
Watch it flush downstream
Lake O, Lake O
Like a New Orleans
Make predictions now
Whispers turn to screams
Lake O, Lake O
Can anyone foresee
Or to the hell with it all
I'll see you at Lightsey's
Lake O, Lake O
Lake. . .oh, shit
