I would love to trade places with you, at least in the summer. I agree with you about the Gulf shrimp. They are sweeter tasting.

I do love your photography and your upbeat attitude so evident on your blog.<br /><br />Hey, TB! I'm happy to help with info on the parks. Even though it's not directly on the coast, you really should consider visiting Wakulla Springs and take the boat tour. It's a birding mecca, I've heard. I think you're going to enjoy your visit more by driving down to Florida. Give me a head's up if you're passing through Tally, and maybe SAM and I can meet up with you and your wife.walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999389688482604348.post-61354217051224317572011-01-16T10:16:35.597-06:002011-01-16T10:16:35.597-06:00I liked the poem, the biology lesson, the grouper ...I liked the poem, the biology lesson, the grouper recipe and most of all.... the heads up on the State Park.

I wouldn't be surprised if sea pork comes in handy for some medical purpose. I hope your drive wasn't a white knuckle one yesterday!<br /><br />Tina, I was wondering that too about the oil. I know there are tiny organisms in the sea that eat oil, and they work especially well in the warm Gulf waters. I haven't heard anything about the sea pork digging in and helping themselves to an oil feast, though. Happy New Year to you!<br /><br />Sarah, stay safe and warm in that cold Maine weather!

Also kinda pricey, but the seafood market was one of those no-frills places. We may have gotten our money's worth with the grouper, but I think we got cheated on the shrimp. Still, they were very fresh tasting; best I've had in a while. I'll probably catch heck from some northerners about the beach pics. Really, it was a bit chilly with a north wind blowing.
