What a great trip. Of course you had to have those socks. With nemosmom, I don’t think they count. We are seeing bald eagles in unexpected places ( like a Cosco parking lot) now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-broke-my-no-shopping-ban#post-2099232 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 14:25:31 +0000 nemosmom 2099232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always love your birding photos! Thank you for posting them.&nbsp; It sounds (and looks) like you had a fabulous trip - gorgeous birds and pie! The packing list sounds perfect - and I don't think you can ever have too many pairs of Columbia hiking pants!&nbsp; ;)&nbsp; Your socks are so fun - and being socks, I don't think they count </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-broke-my-no-shopping-ban#post-2099230 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 14:19:46 +0000 JAileen 2099230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, yes, it was a great adventure. &nbsp;I saw your post and knew our outfits would be different. &nbsp; Yours looked great, and mine looked functional. &nbsp;And the humidity was tough for me. &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>SC, thank you. &nbsp;I send a picture of the day to my 95YO mother and a few friends. &nbsp;Some days it was hard to choose because we had seen so many great sights. </p> <p>Suz, thank you. &nbsp;Some of the birds weren’t very far away. &nbsp;The wood storks were at the&nbsp;Wakodahatchee wetlands, and were completely used to people. &nbsp;I actually watched that pair turn the eggs in their nest. &nbsp;It was an awkward yet tender moment.</p> <p>Bijou, thank you. &nbsp;Yes, rules are meant to be broken. &nbsp;:)</p> <p>Sterling, thank you. &nbsp;I might wear the socks this week. &nbsp;It’s a little cooler here. &nbsp;It’s 29F this morning.</p> </div><div><br /></div><div>Glory, thank you. &nbsp;We also found some shells on the Gulf side of Florida, and had to figure out how to get them home unbroken. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Janet, thank you. &nbsp;My husband has a really long lens and somehow is able to get pics of flying birds. &nbsp;My camera and zoom is much smaller and lighter (about half the weight), and holding them steady and keeping the focus on the bird is so hard. &nbsp;I laugh when I see the pictures in the evening after I’ve put them on my ipad. &nbsp;The first go round is deleting out of focus pics and pics with no bird at all!</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-broke-my-no-shopping-ban#post-2099227 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 13:54:59 +0000 Janet 2099227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those socks, worth breaking the ban! And your trip sounds wonderful. My sister paints shorebirds and loves to go to Merritt Island to photograph them for reference photos. Your pics are terrific! Bird photography is not easy. And of course you are rocking the sporty casual look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-broke-my-no-shopping-ban#post-2099225 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 13:48:09 +0000 Glory 2099225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great journey. It sounds like you have a great capsule for adventure travel. The socks are a perfect memento - useful, a great memory and won't take up much packing room! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-broke-my-no-shopping-ban#post-2099207 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 11:12:44 +0000 Anonymous 2099207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful pictures. &nbsp;Your souvenir was perfect. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-broke-my-no-shopping-ban#post-2099186 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 05:37:39 +0000 Bijou 2099186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All rules are meant to be broken - these socks will make you smile every time you wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-broke-my-no-shopping-ban#post-2099162 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 01:47:42 +0000 Suz 2099162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing photos!!! <b>WOW</b>!!

Key lime pie looks delicious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-broke-my-no-shopping-ban#post-2099143 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 00:33:21 +0000 JAileen 2099143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, thank you. &nbsp;I should say the fleece and Nanopuff were for the drive to the airport and the plane. &nbsp;I never thought I would wear them in Florida. &nbsp;We had Key lime pie almost every night. &nbsp;Oh, and one day we had frozen KLP, dipped in chocolate, on a stick like a popsicle. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>ND, thank you. &nbsp;A ranger in the Everglades told us they’re not supposed to name the wild animals, but Croczilla was so big and scary looking that I guess it was a natural nickname.</p> <p>Kathie, thank you. &nbsp;It’s really my husband. &nbsp;He retired last July and hasn’t looked back. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Bonnie, thank you. &nbsp;Yes, it’s my new camera. &nbsp;My husband gave me a modest telephoto lens for my birthday last year, but I was having trouble &nbsp;focusing on birds because they don’t hold still. &nbsp;The new camera is better in that respect. &nbsp;It’s a step up from the hand me down camera I had been using. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>CG, oh my goodness, thank you. &nbsp;The socks were just too goofy looking to leave behind. &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-broke-my-no-shopping-ban#post-2099141 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 00:28:28 +0000 Cardiff girl 2099141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It would have been criminal not to buy those socks!what a fab getaway and what &nbsp;fantastic photos,you are our in house nature photographer for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-broke-my-no-shopping-ban#post-2099139 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 00:12:59 +0000 Bonnie 2099139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

Of course, you couldn't leave Florida without those manatee socks!
