Went down to Ballast Point Park for the moonrise tonight. Tonight’s moon is called the Snow Moon. It is also a micro moon, the smallest moon of the year because of the distance from Earth at this part of its orbit.

2 days in a row
Well, it had been awhile since I had made it out for nature photography and I finally did a little last night and then made it out again this morning. Feels good to get back to it and get out of the house doing something I enjoy. I arrived at […]
Mom and Baby Great Horned Owl
I have been missing out on some of the babies being born and was finally able to get out and catch up a little. I met up with a friend to photograph this sweet baby Great Horned Owl that is a couple weeks old now. We waited for a good […]
Tampa Morning at University of Tampa
Made it out for the first real photo outing since surgery today. There was supposed to be a decent sunrise so I decided on heading to the University of Tampa to photograph the skyline. The sunrise turned out pretty good and then I was able to practice with the lensball […]

Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive
I was able to make it back to Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive on Friday for the first time in quite awhile. It was definitely one of the best photography days I have had in a good bit. I started out with a Peregrine Falcon just before sunrise. I was later […]
Gator Crossing at the Circle B Bar
Definitely one of the things that keeps me coming back to the Circle B Bar Reserve is the Gator crossings. Morning was on the slow side, but these type of sightings make it worthwhile.
Tampa Morning
Took a quick trip into Tampa this morning to get a few photos. My main goal was to get a few shots from the Platt Street Bridge as that is one of my favorite angles that I haven’t shot in awhile. After that I was mostly chasing the sunrise. I […]
