Margaret: I'm not sure what kind of fish they stock the waterways with; I think there's catfish in there and maybe carp but I'm not really certain ... I wouldn't eat anything caught in these waters, too much trash in the water and who knows what. There's a rental house one house down and across the water from us where there've been many young people, one with a toddler and their yard sometimes is covered with plastic bottles, styrofoam containers and it gets into the waterway. A year or so ago I was out on the deck and heard a loud plop and looked in the direction of the sound and there were two (what appeared to be teen girls) on their back deck throwing beer bottles into the water! I called the HOA, took photo's of all the garbage/trash and sent an e-mail and they said they'd report it to the owner. It got better for awhile but a few days ago there was a lot of trash out there again. The lady at our HOA said the homeowner rents to family but whoever the family member is must allow a bunch of teens or young adults live there.
Wildflowers/Christine: Thanks ... the Bottlebrush is one of my favorites, reminds me of the weeping willow only with bright red brushes.
Holly: Thank You; my husband and I have been in Daytona Beach since he got out of the Navy in 1973 and it's not my favorite part of Florida (I'd rather be in a smaller town) but it's home until he retires in another probably two years, then we may relocate a bit farther south.
