Over Spring Break when we visited Everglades National Park, I got the chance to spend a little time with this Osprey family down at the marino at Flamingo. There was a mother (I assume) and a chick on the nest. Dad was perched nearby on top of a pole keepin […]
A few more sunset shots from Long Pine Key Lake in Everglades National Park. This is one of the better sunrise/sunset locations in the northern end of the park. The best part is it is located right next to the campground providing easy access for those early or late shots.
On our way to Everglades National Park over Spring Break of this year, we stopped in Big Cypress National Preserve. We took an airboat ride where we saw the gator below slinking into the swamp. We also took a few of the short trails where I captured these flowers amid […]
