Jelly fish!  I forgot to mention Jelly Fish from my trip to Tampa Bay.  They were all over only they were very difficult to see and very strange.  They were about 2 inches long and transparent.  They were sort of torpedo shaped with some folds.  They were almost invisible.  I picked up a couple and they were like jelly (thus the name). Looking closely at them I could not see any internal or external organs--just clear!  The ocean sure has some unique critters--what an amazing place!

I have returned from a trip to Tampa Bay.  It was disappointingly unclear and therefore no snorkeling.  The up side was finding some live Sea Snails.  I also found some other sea shells and oyster clusters.  Two night we went out fishing--one day we caught some Jacks that put up a great fight.  We saw a wonderfully colorful Loggerhead turtle and some dolphins.
We went to SawGrass Park that is usually very full of water and Alligators.  This time, eventhough we had had rain while there, it was quite dry.  We were able to see one 5 ft alligator, lots of soft shelled turtles a couple gars, some spiders in great webs,  a few lizards and some egrets.
There were hundreds of Cuban Anoles (very similar to Chamelions)  They are invasive and have taken over the niche of the Chamelions but were fun to see.
