I guess I took a few photos at the Powell Wedding. Here is the stack of them. There are just a few there…. A few Hundred!
Independance Day Fireworks
One nice thing about living in the middle of everything is that… well… everything is right there. Here are some of the fireworks displays from the roof of where I am living.
Gone Fishing again!
Eric and a Red Snapper he caught. This is one of the fish you eat at the fancy resturaunts.
Standard procedure appears to be to not touch many of the fish as they are either poisonous or they have VERY sharp fins and will cut you up pretty badly. We have no idea what kind of fish this is, so it gets the towel treatment to get unhooked.
This one was deamed to be not-dangerious, so Eric held it for the photo.
I don’t know what kind of fish this is, but it is pretty solid for it’s size. A gal yesterday scaled one to bring home. She said it was tastey. I think a mess of these filleted out and fried up might be good. One of these days I guess.
The big one!
Eric caught the big one today. Here you see him fighting the fish, crossing everybody’s lines because the fish decided to go straight out to sea.
The fish ran him right down into the pillars of the peir. When I saw the fish roll and make it’s run to the ocean, the flash was larger then the size of those pillars. He eventually ended up snapping the line because the fish had wrapped around or snaged the barnicles on the peir.
Eric was sitting in the yellow chair here when he hooked the fish, and ended up all the way down at the corner of the peir.
Here is a baracuda that one of the guys caught a little while before we left.
Waterspout
We figured out why the fish started biting all of a sudden. This nasty looking storm cloud came flying in off the Atlantic. As you can see, there was a surprise in it. The guy is pointing out the beginings of a funnel cloud.
The waterspout is on the water in the lower left corner of the photo. The lighter color part of the funnel is what was moving really fast. The darker part around it wasn’t spining near as fast. The spout went either right over, or very nearly went over a small boat out on the water.
When the waterspout made it to land, and became a tornado, it went between the white buildings. It’s amazing how far it meanders around coming out of the sky.
Then it started to pour. This is a shot down the length of the peir.
