The distance was about 5 to 7 meters. The photos are cropped.

The second farmer's market of the season.

Thanks JA and Scifan - Nice pictures - I'm glad I joined this thread.

We get Marbled and Hudsonian Godwits here in Florida. The Hudsonians migrate through here and I haven't seen one myself, but the Marbled Godwits sometimes hang around for a month or so.

We also have a few different species of Sandpipers, I really can't tell them apart so I call them all "common sandpipers"

And Scifan, our farmers market season is coming to a close here in South Florida. The winter residents and tourists have gone home and so most of the vendors have folded up as well.

Thanks again for the pictures.

Bob - thanks for the pics! Alligator images are always interesting to me - I've posted many here, mainly from the Carolina coastal area (check out some of the travelogues there, if interested) - Dave

P.S. was that a 'tongue in cheek' last comment - usually the gators are motionless in the sun!

Yes, they sleep all day. In the glades I went out on a boardwalk with a bright light. Their eyes glow orange and they move about. A little spooky. I understand they only have to eat once a week. The advantage of being cold blooded.

We've got crocodiles in Florida too. I'll see if I can fins a picture.

Interesting shots of the Regina farmers' market sci. Great to see full advantage taken of your Spring weather. I love markets and make a point of checking them out when travelling, and of course when home.

I spent a month in the UK about 10 years ago. Put 3000 miles on the rental car. I loved everything and the English, Welsh, and Scots treated me like a welcome guest. I didn't see any newts though

My brother-in-law lives in Brisbane. I want to visit your country, but I figure I need at least a month off to even scratch the surface.

American crocodiles. Not my pictures, mine are all on slide, but these are in the Public Domain by the National Park Service. According to a park ranger, they used to range from South Carolina to Texas in the brackish water wetlands. Now they are mostly confined to the southern tip of the Everglades National Park and there are fewer than 300 estimated left. I've seen them only about a half dozen times in all the years I've gone to the ENP. If you are familiar with gators, you can't mistake a croc for one.
