Nessie

Is that a picture of Nessie? What do you think?

A friend writes, 'Doesn't Nessie like fresh water?

That's correct. Nessie is from Loch Ness in Scotland.

The Loch is fresh water and that picture was from the inlet.

What's an inlet? What's a sound?

Here's the real Nessie photo.

I don't know...it looks the same to me...kind of.

Actually, the picture up top is a cormorant or anhinga.
A diving bird. It's more like a snorkeling bird the way it
swims and catches fish.

That was a good question. Thank you.

Have a great Day!!!

Oak Hill, Florida

Go south of Daytona on US 1.
Before you get to NASA there will be a small town.

It's called Oak Hill. Look at this map, please.
It's a small town. There aren't many people here.
But there's lots of fish and shrimp.

Oak Hill is a nice town. It's very quiet and peaceful.
This is not the big city.
The picture above is from my apartment.
It's very quiet and tranquil. Just the perfect place
for me to live and teach...........or is it?

                        Not all is as it seems...

In the distance I can see mysterious islands covered in jungle.



At night, strange sounds can be heard coming from the swamp.
What's in the swamp?


Many strange and mysterious creatures
roam Oak Hill's forests, swamps and waterways.
Many are odd alien like creatures....


This area of Florida is near to the Bermuda Triangle
and also NASA is located nearby. 
Sometimes strange aircraft are seen in Oak Hill. 


Oak Hill Florida, my new home town. It's quiet
and peaceful. On the surface, a typical small Florida town.
But...there's more to the picture than meets the eye.


Have a good day!

Squirrel Attacks in Vermont (click here!, for the full story)

Recently, several citizens have reported squirrel attacks
in Bennington, Vermont. 3 people have been attacked.
None of the three were seriously injured. It is unclear
what the squirrel wanted. It didn't demand cash or anything.
Perhaps it was just 'Wilding'. Home security has been
informed of the squirrel. Authorities are saying the squirrel
acted alone. However, they are also checking any possible
links to terrorist groups.


Suspect: Squirrel
Gender:  Unknown
Age:       Unknown
Description:  Grayish brown with cute fluffy tail.
Known hangouts:  Trees and parks.
* If you see this squirrel, please call 1-555-555-5555.
There is a reward.




It's Manatee time

The water is warming up and the manatees are back.

A
It's Manatee time. They're back!
Manatees like to eat sea grass.
That's good. Because, not many animals
can eat sea grass. Can you think of another
animal that can eat sea grass besides people?

B

That's called Manatee springs.
I don't know exactly where that is.
The water is very clear. This is where
the manatees stay during the winter.

C

This picture shows the range of the Manatees.

Have a nice day!

What are 'mangrove People'?

Mangrove people are the legendary people or creatures
that live in the National Seashore. Throughout the history
of this area there are stories of a strange and shy people
known as Mangrove or Sand people. Who were they?
How did they live? Where are they now?

First of all 'What are they?'

A
Do Mangrove people look like this?
This is a picture of a Chupacabra. Although native to
Puerto Rico, the chupacabra has been seen in Florida
before. Could Mangrove people be a group or family
of chupacabras?
(That looks like a zombie chupacabra to me.)

B
Maybe Mangrove people look like Skunk apes.
That's the Florida skunk ape in a nice picture.
Maybe they are a group of bigfoot like creatures.
(It looks like the skunk ape doesn't like that car.)

C
That's a Manatee. Yes, maybe the manatee was
mistaken for mangrove people. What do you think?


Mangrove People. It's a big mystery. This needs more
investigation and research. Tomorrow, I go out to the marshes
to search for....."The Mangrove People.

Have a nice day!!!
