front view of an alligator.
LAST ISSUE'S IMAGERY -
When I first started photographing this alligator,
I was fascinated because I had never seen a head-on
view of one. He looks somewhat passive and, also,
"all knowing." Perhaps he's thinking,
" I know something that you don't know."
The whimsical green on the snout is duckweed from
the water out of which he came to rest here, a common
pasttime of most of the alligators I see at Wakodahatchee
Wetlands.
It's interesting for me to observe my own reaction,
getting caught up in the "crowd mentality"
of everyone being excited if one or more alligators
are found during a walk on the elevated boardwalk
there. When I see one I immediately want to share
it with others. AND, I don't even particularly care
for alligators!
I had mixed emotions on even using this picture
here. Whereas I thought it might be gruesome, a
few friends found it appealing. So here it was.

is not from Wakodahatchee :)
NETWORKING -
Tommorow, January 6, starts my friend Julie
Jordan Scott's FREE 42
of Passionate Writing. This program is
constructed so that each participant can play at
his or her own pace--on the web, on the phone on
a short daily call, or and/or by simply listening
at any time of day or night. I'm excited. There
are some wonderful web friends around the world
who will be participating. See WRITING
for more info.
and, as of last night, there were 3 spots left in
the YOU*U
University class starting on Monday, January
10. This is a 4 month rich and diversified program,
for anyone interested in generating eCourses, eBooks
and other programs using the Web. It was in this
amazing course, created and facilitated by my now-friend,
Marney Makridakis, that eteletours.com was born,
expanding my already existing naturesplayground.com
business. See
ARTELLA for more info. This is also a great
site on which to play, offering games, shops and
other creative ideas and activities.
Lastly, and again, if you are enjoying our almost-daily
mailings, please pass the word on, so that others
may have similar opportunities. See http://home.ezezine.com/74_3/
