Looks like you've got some work ahead of you!

For a job like that I pair my #5-4 with one of these babies and just use the knife to clear away vines that might trip me or otherwise interfere with the work.

I've been procrastinating about posting pics and now I'm sitting on a pile of them. Posting all of them at once is too daunting so I'm just going to start posting a few at a time.

For starters, check out this cool camo critter on a Sunshine Mimosa (aka Powderpuff) blossom. Even its eyes are part of the camo.

Insects love Butterfly Milkweed.

They're also fond of Prickly Pear Cactus.

Excellent close-ups, thank you!

Great photos Rick.

I certainly enjoy Peter's latest "exploits"...BUT...(There's that word again)...there's a soft place in my heart for this Cracker Stuff! Nice job!
Keep 'em comin'...Capt. Chris

Great pics Rick...! nice job!

Thanks guys!

Capt, I hear ya! Peter's 'out west' pics are great, but there's just something about the Florida woods that soothes a Cracker's soul.

Here are some 'Cracker shots' of a spring covered in duckweed. The birds in the second photo are: Great Egret, Wood Stork (endangered), and a White Ibis.

Rick,
Great Shots!! Thanks for posting!

Those gators always "intrigue" me. THE reason for a #12-9"/14 grind!!!!!!!!
...Now THAT'S a knife!
