This was something I wouldn’t have chosen to do myself, but Dad wanted us to do it and it turned out to be a great time. The crazy thing is all that stuff out there, roots and all, is free floating on top of the water – so for the guy giving the tour (Bob) he needs to not only be able to know his way around, but he needs to be able to keep track of what islands of vegetation have completely shifted and moved overnight. The whole roadmap might be different the next day!

He did a fantastic job explaining everything and he really knew his stuff.
Here’s a pimp for Robert Montuoro’s Airboat Adventure Tours. If you’re anywhere near Vero Beach, check it out.

Some great pics in here.

Finally got NextGEN Gallery plug-in installed along with a Flash slideshow.

(Whoa, just found out that JW Player has watermarked the slideshow that works with NextGEN so be prepared to $PAY$ if you go this route. Grr!)

I really wish I had done this at the start. I’m almost obsessive-compulsive enough to go back and re-import every picture on this blog with NextGEN, but luckily I’m lazy.

edit: ugghh… i wrote that when i was happy. now i’m trying different configurations with pictures and slideshows and am really not pleased, but can’t find a better option out there. give it a try, let me know what you think. i may ditch the whole thing and go back to the basics.

for wordpress gallery: 1. i would like it to pop up and show the title as well as the description with an option to direct link to the page. (for now, i think you can ctrl+click or right click + new page.) 2. i wish it would resize it to something reasonable because i have to scroll down for all the portrait photos. i guess i need to have it upload them smaller. 3. OR, if i use the picture viewer, why isn’t there an option to go back to the full gallery? *sigh* i wish i could program better. this is for the birds.

for slideshow: 1. all the slideshows out there obscure part of the photograph with text and buttons. why not have the flash window be bigger and have the caption below? makes sense? 2. it doesn’t show the title. i like my titles. :( 3. i need the font to be smaller. 4. it has a control panel but that obscures even more of the photograph than the text already does. can’t get it to work anyway. 5. i can’t seem to use the built-in vars with the default NextGEN wordpress code.

You have no idea how many times I’ve lost my work using the WordPress Built-in Gallery. If you accidentally click outside the window where you are labeling photos it clears the window and doesn’t save anything you’ve typed; this could mean the destruction of 100 labels and you have to start all over again. Very disheartening.

Here are 109 Pictures, from 12/15/09 – 12/19/09

(Slideshow Tip: If you click on the flash and use your left and right cursor keys you can make it jump to the next or previous picture. It will not work if your last click was on the regular web page, so make sure the slideshow was the last thing you had clicked before trying.)

Hello? Is this website still on?

Went on vacation for a week with Mia and my family before Christmas.
Long drive from Richmond, Virginia to Vero Beach, Florida. We took 2 cars and it took 2 days to get there.
Here are 108 pictures from 12/11/09 – 12/14/09

I’m working on getting you guys a nifty picture slideshow plug-in if I can find one.
Or maybe that will make you too lazy and you won’t stop to sniff the flowers?
Wouldn’t want that, now.
