Thank you for all the good words Fink, Surfintiki, Sam, A-A, Hewey! I appreciate it!

Fink, the skull on the post is part of one of my no trespassing signs; i have the wording in English and Hawaiian.

Surfintiki and Sam: thanks for the props on the yard. Sam, I live on a rapidly rising lake in Central FL: with the record June rains that we've had, i've lost at least 30 feet of beachfront where i had some additional landscaping. I had to dig out and replant as much foliage as i could and get them to higher ground over the last few weeks.

So what used to look like this:

now looks like this:

The water is even higher now, covering that top step. I'm not too happy about it, but many people are losing their homes to the flooding.

A-A, i was going to make the 'loincloth area' more realistic like Gecko does, but i figured i'd freak out the neighbors, so i went with the PG version. The sign post has been there for years, and documents the locations of wreck dives that I have done.

Thanks again all!
