I don't see any fishermen, are those sharks your raising :lol:
The fishermen disapeared after an all night fishing trip last week Bill. The engine was left running, so they must have been trying to escape. We found they're fishing poles and a hat but that was it. :P

I took the table down yesterday and found these blue bellies, Sceloporus occidentalis sleeping between the back of the table and the wall so I took some super close ups.

I see progress. Be sure your stopping now and then for cold brewed refreshments! Iced tea and such!!:) Wouldn't want you to dehydrate. :wink:
I can see your getting acquainted with the business end of that shovel. Hope you don't wear it out.

By the way fun shots of the lizard.

I see, sounds like the fish weren't biting and there was a full cooler of cold ones onboard.
Yup, they fell overboard :lol:

Really cool Tony! Did I understand that you left the plants in their pots?

Only temporarily, to get an idea how some of them looked together. But after awhile I just started fireing them in! :)
