Hey, click on the Photo Club in the left hand column – then come back to see this page.

Dave Cesari is a wonderful photographer who loves to study nature. Could you get as many great photos of birds doing bird things – like having lunch – as Dave does?  I know I can not.

These latest photos of his prompted me to go to the web to learn of the Snakehead fish. Some of what I found:  “Over the past decade, the waterways of southern Florida have experienced an invasion of the species known as the bullseye snakehead. Native to Southeast Asia, these fish were brought here by accident through Asian markets that were selling live specimens for food and medicinal purposes.  They breathe air with gills, which allows them to migrate short distances over land. ……….”

……………Now my story…………….

No, I am not going to write about change brought on through a New Year’s resolution.

Rather, I am motivated to tell you I had a New Year’s iPhone conversation with my sister – for over an hour. I said these two words. “Hello” and Goodbye” Ha, Ha

So, you know I got a lot of information about many members of my family that I have not seen for years. Wow, how they (and I) have changed over the years – but to me the biggest change that I saw about the family was the change brought on by technology – ease of travel, ease of seeing the world thru TV, mobility to work in different parts of the world and return home to work awhile, and then move again – always staying in touch with family members –  Staying in touch using the iPhone – Not like when I grew up.

Bottom line is, I love my iPhone – Not just to talk to my sister and other family members while riding my bike in the sunshine of Florida while they are doing such things as spreading salt on their sidewalk to melt the ice, but because the iPhone is really an image communication device”:

I could tell her of the beautiful sunrise we had – or I could txt her this photo to show her – “image communication”

I could even show her the morning we had a cold snap – Ha Ha of 50 degrees

I texted this to my daughter to thank her for the book she sent me for Christmas.

I was on my motorcycle the other day – heading home from the grocery store – had to stop and snap, with my iPhone, the shot of the dog in the sky – my son loves motorcycles – so guess who got this photo?

While on a hike, I snapped the photo of this deer.

Did you see the deer – this my help you find it

I like to txt family and friends while on my bike – I took this to tell them of the 100’s of birds I was looking at.  Not a quality photo – but I think better than just texting “I see hundreds of birds”

Glad the fence is between me on my bike and this gator. I texted it to my daughter – better than just saying “I see a gator”

Oh my, what a great change technology has offered us – as you swing through life, make sure you do your  “human socialization” with your family using iPhone photos –  we must do that ’cause technology changed us from “human socialization” with family living next door.
