"You Don't Know What You've Got Till iI's Gone"
Joni Mitchell: "You don't know what you've got till it's gone"- just could not get this song out of my head today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWwUJH70ubM
7/100 Possibilities (photos of one object- I chose my shell)
I went swimming in Florida Bay, and snorkeled under the mangroves. Since I don't have an underwater camera to take the photographs I would like, to show the magic of the underwater world under the mangrove forests, I thought that maybe I could bring a piece of the beauty to the surface.
No star fish was injured for this shoot. There are star fish nurseries on the mangrove underwater prop roots. (See first comment below for a piece of prop root, which I found already broken off- and returned it right to the water after photographing. In the water the prop roots are vertical, and are the continuation of the above water arched root/trunks-- see also photo below "Sunset on the Mangroves" to see the above water view.) I found this star fish on a prop root, brought him out to photograph him, on a mirror, and then returned him to the water. The shell is also a native sea snail, which I found while swimming, already dead, from a natural death. The green tree blurred reflections are from a buttonwood tree, another Key Largo native along the shoreline.

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot,
With a pink hotel, a boutique,
And a swinging hot spot.
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum.
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em.
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Hey, farmer, farmer, put away that D.D.T., now!
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees, please!
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Late last night I heard the screen door slam.
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man.
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
