Myakka River State Park is definitely one of the best places in Florida to see alligators. If you spend a full day there you are likely to lose count of the number that you see. We saw all sizes from juvenile gators all the way up to a few big […]

Florida Orbweaver Spiders
There are quite a few different kind of spiders in Florida. These two tonight are ones that I have not seen before I got these pictures. They are both in the orbweaver family. One is a a Giant Lichen Orbweaver and the other is a Tropical Orbweaver if I identified […]
Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake
Lots of stuff going on currently so updates may be a bit more sporadic for a little while. I will still do my best to get a blog out most days. Tonight is the last two shots of our encounter with the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake at Weedon Island Preserve in […]
Viera Wetlands
Viera Wetlands is always a fun place to go because you never know what you are going to find. I usually arrive on my photo sites at sunrise hoping to catch some good light. At Viera one of my favorite thing to do is look for silhouettes. This morning tehre […]
Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake
Well, I have not gotten out to shoot a whole lot this year, but I have had two of my best sightings of my life. A month or so ago I caught the Devil Ray jumping out of the water at Fort Desoto. Today the family and I went for […]
Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area
Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area near Kissimmee is one of my old haunts that I have not been back to for awhile. It is a really cool place because of the variety and abundance of animal life. I usually try to arrive around sunrise and cruise the roads looking for […]
Devil Ray Jump part 2
These are the last two pictures I took last week of the Devil Ray jumping out of the water at Fort Desoto. Not much to add to what I said last week. [facebook]
Jumping Devil Ray, Fort Desoto
This morning I went to the Skyway bridge to watch the (almost) full moon set and the sunrise. Due to an alarm issue I got there just in time for the moonset and only got 1 or two pictures of that. The sunrise was decent and I will probably post […]
Bottlenose Dolphins
A good percentage of the times that I have gone to the pier at Fort Desoto I have gotten to see the dolphins. Last week I saw one a ways off and later saw this one approach fairly close to the pier for a few minutes. I’m sure the fishermen […]
Big Cypress Preserve Sightings
On my trip last week to the Big Cypress National Preserve wildlife was a bit scarce except for a few gators trying to soak up the sun on the side of the road. Two less common things that I was able to photograph were the Big Cypress Fox Squirrel and […]
