WOW! I noticed lots of mice running around that had been chased out of the back by high water, could be a food fest.

You meant your back yard in Mississippi didn't you, I miss understood. We have these on Ambergris Caye as well.

Yes, I wish I could claim a back yard there but for now it remains a work in very slow progress.

I do have a nice palapa, a pier and some great plants now though.

My back yard is basically the Mata Lagoon (Laguna de Mato) http://matalagoon.blogspot.com/ and when the water comes up I'm high ground at my house and get a wide variety of visitors.

Some great photos on your blog.

Thanks!
I have a lot of fun with digital photography and being so close to nature all the time I get lots of opportunity.
