Thank you all for your kind thoughts. We are safe, but many not far from us had to be rescued by boat or helicopter. We are blessed. <>< #11525846

That was the first I had seen of the birds with the wild ponies. I heard later that they do hang out sometimes to eat insects that land on the ponies. I counted it as a blessing that morning, since I hadn't seen it before. Thank you for viewing and for your comments. I enjoy reading everyone's comments. Much appreciated. <>< #11528553

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
