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 […]
Circle B in Decline?
Back to the Circle B Bar Reserve this morning. It was pretty slow again. I have been seeing a lot less wildlife the last few times and that counts everything, from birds to gators. Not quite sure what is going on. They really cleared all the paths so they are […]
Hunter’s Moonrise over the St Pete Pier
Went over to a very busy St Pete Pier on Saturday night to photograph the Full Hunter’s moon rising over next to and over the pier. We finally had a great clear night and I got a bunch of good shots.
Sunday Morning at the St Pete Pier
I ran out of pictures of St Petersburg to post so headed back to the St Pete Pier again this morning. Most places I go before sunset I am mostly alone, but that is definitely not the case at the Pier. There are always tons of walkers, joggers, etc first […]
Solar Eclipse 10/14/23 from Tampa
Photographed the solar eclipse from my backyard today. It was a partial solar eclipse in Tampa although some part of the country got a ring of fire eclipse. I processed them into this little timelapse video and a composite of the pics I took.
Circle B Sunrise and Macro Morning
Made it out to the Circle B Bar Reserve this morning for the first time in awhile. The sunrise was intense but short lived. Even better, it was 68 degrees when I started walking shortly before sunrise this morning. Not much luck finding the normal stuff like gators and birds […]
Peaches the Flamingo
This morning I made yet another trip out to Fort Desoto. My goal was to see Peaches the Flamingo. Peaches was one of the flamingoes that were blown in from either the Yucatan or Cuba during Hurricane Idalia. A few days later this flamingo was found in distress, floundering in […]
More Florida Flamingos
Got to photograph a separate group of 3 flamingos this morning. They are slightly closer to home for me than the Fort Desoto flamingos but in a spot that is a little more difficult to access. Anyway, I’m glad I made the trip over and found them as I am […]
