Paul’s Boat

May 29, 2026

Kenansville FL

Paul got his dead boat battery replaced and invited us out this morning.

It was hot. The love bugs are numerous (yuck). We got some good shots though.

We’ve seen these while driving into town but it’s nearly impossible to get a shot because the two lane road has no shoulder. It was great to get this one today.

There is a house on the end of the canal where Paul keeps his boat. Paul is friends with the owner, Dana, who lets him walk on his yard and take pictures. The whistling ducks and many other birds like to gather in his yard or sit on his dock. Enough background. A Stilt is sitting on a nest near the edge of the seawall. The bird is nearly impossible to see on the nest because it’s small and the grass is getting high. Dana has marked the spot with a stick to keep it safe from the mowers.

We got a shot of the Stilt from the boat in our way back in to the marina.

His red eyes are pronounced.

We didn’t take any pictures of the people in the boat. However I have one of Paul and me in our green Columbia shirts.

Hope you enjoyed the show.

Stay safe! XO
