Decided to head out this morning to try to take some pictures before the weather turned ugly. It worked out pretty well. I went back to the Circle B Bar Reserve again. After finding the preying mantis on my last visit I was much more focused on the plants and […]
Airfest is back in Tampa Bay. Excited that this event finally returned this year for the first time since 2018. It is always a good show and is a fun photographic challenge. This year, like 2018, was headlined by the US Navy Blue Angels. They put on a fantastic show. […]
Another day, another trip to the Circle B Bar Reserve. Today was off to a slow start. I had covered about 2/3 of the trails I was going to cover this morning (little over 5 miles total) and hadn’t seen much beyond the normal wading birds and some alligators. At […]
Went out last night to try to capture the Worm Moon rising over downtown Tampa. The weather somewhat blocked that as there was a huge storm system 2/3 of the way to the other side of the state that blocked the moon until it was well above the city. We […]
I was able to make a quick visit to the River O’Green festival today in downtown Tampa after I left work. There was a pretty nice crowd and the weather was fantastic after the very cool morning. I mostly just did a quick walk around so I could grab some […]

Spent about half a day at Busch Gardens today. My oldest daughter and I rode Tigris for the first time. It is short, but intense. The other main thing we did besides look at the animals was a jeep safari ride (Cost extra). The ride was about half an hour […]
It has been cooler recently so I figured it would be a good day to got to the TECO manatee viewing center. I was correct on that. There had to have been at least 150 manatees nearby. There were all sizes including some younger ones. There were even some that […]
This morning I made a quick visit to a local park where a Great Horned Owl family nests each year. The weather wasn’t great so the birds were mostly hunkered down, but it was still cool to see the two parents and 3 young owlets. One of the younger ones […]
During our long weekend in Jamaica I got to photograph several species that I have not seen before. Several new species of bird to me were White-tailed Tropicbird, Brown Booby, Bananaquit, and a Loggerhead Kingbird. I photographed a new species of lizard for me, a Graham’s Anole which are pretty […]
