This morning we took the kids to visit Lowry Park Zoo and made a beeline to see the new baby elephant. The new baby is named Mavi and was born July 29th. She was not too active until her “big sister” Mpumi came out and then they walked around and […]

Vertical Photo Orientation
One of the things that I really need to practice doing more is taking photos in the vertical orientation. Several of my photo requests have been looking for photos in the vertical orientation and I normally default to the horizontal orientation, especially for my cityscapes and landscape images.

Birding in Dry Tortugas National Park
Dry Tortugas National Park is one of the best birding sites in Florida which is saying quite a lot. It is especially interesting to visit during the spring migration around March/April. This is because it is the only place for birds to stop to rest and get fresh water in […]

All right St Petersburg residents. So you rejected the Lens idea to replace the old inverted pyramid of the current pier. So what now? Now you are left with a closed pier and no plans to replace it. You are going to have to spend a lot more money to […]

There is a new baby African Elephant at the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa. These shots are actually of the last baby elephant that was born at the zoo. It was fun to watch the baby interact with the other elephants and run around and play like a toddler. [facebook]
