I’ve added a photos section to my blog to highlight my photography. The inaugural post is A Day in the Everglades, which I published a while back, but I liked the photos and — well — I needed something to start with.
It isn’t a true photoblog; I won’t be publishing a new photo every day. I intend for it to serve more as a travelogue to share some of the great places I’ve been blessed to have had the opportunity to visit. The entries are featured in the left-hand sidebar, and I’ve gone ahead and enabled comments and trackbacks on the individual posts.
UPDATED January 28, 2005
I should also have mentioned that the photos section has its own Atom/RSS feeds, so you can subscribe to those as well as the feeds for my main blog or excursions, my sideblog.

While my wife and I were visiting my folks in South Florida for Thanksgiving, we spent some time at Everglades National Park. We went to Shark Valley on the northern edge of the park, which gets its name from the Shark River Slough, a broad watery plain, which drains into the Shark River. Water from Lake Okeechobee flows through this area from the north-northeast to the southwest into Florida Bay. The Shark River Slough is commonly called “the river of grass”, for the tall sawgrass marsh which covers the Florida limestone. Shark Valley features a 15 mile loop road, open to hiking and bicycling, and a tram tour of the loop.

The Red-shouldered Hawk is the most common hawk found in the Everglades.
The Great White Heron is a tropical wading bird related to the Great Blue Heron, and in North America is most often found in South Florida. Great Egrets are found throughout the world. The North American subspecies can be found as far north as Southern Canada. [Note: I originally misidentified this bird. See the comment below.]

Idealism and Its Discontents — Victor Davis Hanson examines the neoconservative label

It is commentary like this:
It’s reminiscent of the line from Animal House, when Otter says, “I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.” Bluto answers, “We’re just the guys to do it.” The Democrats have become the party of stupid and useless gestures.
That has put Captain’s Quarters in the realm of higher beings. Congratulations Captain Ed, you deserve it.
