Bill Knaps September 05, 2008

Thank you Peaches, Stefania, Pat, Denny, Lynn, Carol and Melodie for your nice comments. I appreciate you very much. Yes Pat I made it with only minor tree damage. The high waters have brought gators up out of the swamp. I may go check my bayou today. Bill #6413689

Deb Koskovich September 05, 2008

Gorgeous image, Bill! I would not even stand on that dock in the background, LOL! #6413740

Bill Knaps September 05, 2008

Thanks Deb and very smart of you. There are no chairs on that warf for a reason. It was built too low. A gator could easily sneak up and grab you off that dock. Gators jump very high out the water. Much higher than that low dock. Bill #6413810
