some of the trails.

Below: Lee Duquette put the camera on self-timer, but both Lee and John moved before the picture was taken, so a re-do was necessary.

Below: Karen Duquette tried out her new waterproof camera. But since she obviously could not actually go into the water, she stood on the shore and held the camera with the lens half in the water, and half out of the water - see the amazing result in the photo below. The water was very murky and not interesting enough to totally immerse the camera in the water at this time.

Below: Then everyone ventured on to other areas of the Riverbend Park and walked along the Loxahatchee River.

Below: Renee thought the tree in the photo below was ugly, but Karen Duquette liked it. They often have very different taste in things.

Below: John Smythers (the son-in-law of the two RV Gypsies) and the youngsters decided to leave the easy path and get closer to the river. But it was only a short walk past the Cypress Knees when they hit a dead-end and returned to the path.

Below: John told Josh to jump over this fence, (just to see if he could) and Josh made the jump with ease. He had to do it several times, because John did not have his camera ready. However, Karen Duquette was able to photograph Josh each time and she also took a video.
