Yep, more Sandhill Crane pictures. I parked myself across the water from the nest this morning before sunrise. Within 10 minutes or so of arriving the whole family left the nest and walked almost directly up to me, feeding within 15 feet of me. It was mostly in the weeds […]

I returned to the Sandhill Crane nest site tonight and to my surprise there were no birds there at all. I walked around the park a bit and then came back and the two parents are walking back to the nest followed by their 2 little chicks. The second one […]
Newly Hatched Sandhill Crane
A fellow photographer was kind enough to share with me a location with 2 Sandhill Crane nests recently. I timed it right today and arrived after the first egg hatched this morning. The little chick was up trying to walk around and even went in the water a little bit […]
Experimenting with Tampa Skyline
Took a quick trip out to Tampa General Hospital for a few shots last night. I was experimenting with multiple different things and got several cool shots. I took some shots of the standard views. I took a few photos with my Lensball as I haven’t shot this vantage point […]

Orlando Wetlands Park
Made my longest trip since my surgery this morning and it turned out to be one of my best photography days in a long time. I went to Orlando Wetlands Park in Christmas, Florida. I have been there one or two times in the past when my wife’s parents lived […]
Myakka River State Park
Took a quick trip to Myakka River State Park for the morning today after being stuck in the house all day yesterday. It was good to get out and although I didn’t get a ton of great pictures I still saw a few interesting things.
Snow Moon at Ballast Point
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 […]
