I left Naples today and came east to Lake Okeechobee. There really isn't much here except sugar cane and fishing, but I wanted to see the area anyway.I stopped at a park along one of the canals that parallels Lake Okeechobee.
What is this????? It is totally dried out. When I first saw it, it was upside down and I thought it was a rattlesnake skin.
One of the dams that separates the canal from Herbert Hoover Dike:
A truly cool rock:
Sugar cane. I heard that when they burn it, it smells wonderful. It is only about 6" tall right now. I don't even think that the sugar cane stalk has started growing yet. There's a notice on the bulletin board of the RV park I am staying in that advertises a tour of a sugar cane farm. I think I'll call about it tomorrow and see if I can take the tour. When I think of sugar cane, I think of the mini-series, "The Thorn Birds," when Meggie's husband Luke followed the harvesting.

Dee, I think the top picture is a gar. Looks like the one I had in my fish tank (freshwater) several years ago.
