The Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland is a new find for me, but has quickly become one of my favorite places. On my first visit I saw one of the best sunrises I have ever seen (View here). Today was my second visit and the highlight was a Sadhill […]

St Petersburg Pier soon to be demolished
It was recently decided that the St Petersburg Pier will soon be demolished. A new “pier” will replace it but eh design called “The Lens” definitely does not have the visual impact and the photographic potential of the current pier. The current pier was only built in 1973. It seems […]
Dry Tortugas National Park
Dry Tortugas National Park is about 70 miles west of Key West, Florida. It is only accessible by boat or float plane. I have traveled to it both ways in the same weekend. Flying into the fort from the air is spectacular with great views of the fort and the […]
Green Cay Wetlands
Green Cay Wetlands is another one of my favorite photography places. Green Cay Wetlands is a former working farm and now has been transformed into a water reclamation area and a wildlife haven. There is a 1.5 mile boardwalk that gives you great access to the wetlands. This is another […]
Three Lakes WMA and Joe Overstreet Road
I am contintuing my series of favorite places with Three Lakes WMA and Joe Overstreet Road in Kissimme, Florida. This area is one of the best areas in the state to see a lot of wildlife and some old Florida scenery. There are several endangered or threatened species that are […]
Viera Wetlands Wildlife
Today I am going to start a series about my favorite places. Since I just visited last weekend I will start with Viera Wetlands. Viera Wetlands is a man made wetland at a water treatment plant. That may not sound pleasant, but there is no smell and it has created […]
Fall Storm in Grand Teton National Park
On our trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks we were able to see some fall splotches here and there of fall color. I was frustrated overall with trying to capture good photos of the fall colors because it was scattered throughout the area and I could not really […]
View of St Petersburg
Today’s photo is from the St Petersburg Pier at sunset. Including the viewfinder (binoculars or whatever you call that thing) is something that has become popular lately on a lot of the photo sharing sites. We have all seen hundreds of shots from the classic locations such as Half Dome, […]
Great Egret Reflection
Another type of photo that I really enjoy looking for are reflections. I use them a lot with my city scenes, but they also work well with wildlife. One of the most important things when shooting reflections is the angle you are shooting from. With a lot of shots it […]
Heron Silhouette
One type of shot that I am always on the lookout for is the silhouette. I have had good luck with this type of image at Viera Wetlands due to the setup making it easy to position the bird in front of a bright sky. My favorite silhouette shot can […]
