For interested brats, here a few images taken while we were in Apalachicola in late October and early November: http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album1137&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php

We stayed on C Eagle from the gathering to the seafood festival. I will add more photos taken at the actual gathering later, however, there are already some great pictures already posted by others.

Richard: Thanks for the photos....even if we did not get one of the hot tub Thumbs Up

Some great photos. Just much harder for me to get there now from Nashville than from Montgomery, AL....as it adds a good 10 hours travel time to the total trip....

Enjoyed our chat....and see yall again soon.

Nice pictures. I think he butterfly with the eyes is a cecropia moth. They're
beautiful and you got a great shot.

Kent,

Thanks for the correct ID on this striking moth. I have been meaning to research the critter to find out exactly what it is; I have never seen one before and have always wanted to learn more about them. Apperently, this moth is the largest in North America and only has a lifespan of 7 to 10 days because it has no mouth parts.

This one was in a bush with several Monarchs. I photographed several Monarchs with ID tags on them and sent the ID numbers along with date and location to the Monarch tracking site but never received a response.
