Yesterday, actor James Doohan went on to greener pastures at the age of 85. Yes, Scotty was beamed up to that great Enterprise in the sky. I hope Bones was there to meet him and that they are exploring that "final frontier" together. This is another photo from the wilds of central Florida. It was taken about 1 1/2 hours after the photo Chasing The Blue was taken, and you can still see the giant Cumulonimbus towering over the other clouds in the distance. Thankfully, its thunderstorms never reached me and I just was showered upon a little bit. When people think of Florida, endless sandy beaches and palm trees are what usually come to mind. But north of the Everglades, there are huge streches of farms, pasture lands and forests. Here you see a natural clearing adjacent to a ranch between the towns of Wildwood and Bushnell. One of these days, I'm going to hike out into those untamed places before they all get developed by the seemingly unstoppable human tide...
