A Great Blue Heron in Flight
I have had a lot of practice spotting a bird that is ready to take off and then taking six to 12 fast images of the bird in flight. I usually pick the one I like best and delete the rest. This time, I thought it would be interesting to show the whole sequence.
If you were to pick one and delete the rest, the way I usually do, which would you choose to save?

Smallwood Store
Ted Smallwood opened a trading post in 1906 in Chokoloskee, a small island in the Ten Thousand Islands offshore from the Everglades. For decades the store was reachable only by boats. Today a long bridge connects Chokoloskee to the mainland.
Ted Smallwood's granddaughter opened it as a museum in the 1990s. She was behind the counter this week when I visited. Chokoloskee's population is below 400.

Everglades City Hall
Everglades City is about an hour east of where I live in Naples. When Collier County was created in 1923, Everglades City was the first seat of county government. Over time, population, business and government moved west to Naples, and this building became Everglades City Hall.
