I chose this, the Florida Panther, as the first image on my "blog." In 1995, while driving on a dirt road in Hendry County, not far from Immokalee, I saw a panther cross the road. I approached it slowly (remember, I'm driving on a dirt road) and I observed the wild cat pause for just a second or two, look towards my car, then move across the road. I slowed, and for just an instant the image of this animal was burned into my brain. That single experience awakened my thirst for information about the Everglades, and I'm still learning!
