Went on a Swamp Tour the other day over in Slidell, LA with Pearl River Eco tours, got to see a bunch of gators in their natural habitat. Though they were coaxed to the water with marshmallows, and sausages on sticks by the tour guides, it was still a lot of fun, and very cool to see them like that.

A Lifeguard watches the sea as Tropical Storm Lee lingers, bringing rough high seas to the Pensacola, FL area.

The Gulf Of Mexico's emerald coast was battered by Tropical Storm Lee, over the Labor Day weekend - though far from the center, Pensacola Beach, FL felt the effects of Lee transcribed via the large waves, nearly consistent winds and over a foot of rainfall.

Normally sitting a good 20-25 feet off the surface of the water, the Pensacola Beach Fishing Pier takes a beating and stands strong as Tropical Storm Lee batters the coast with 10-15 foot waves on top of a storm surge swollen Gulf of Mexico over the Labor Day weekend.
