One of my favorite places in Florida which I spent a few hours at last week is Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary near Naples. Now as I stated yesterday the wildlife overall was pretty uncooperative, but at least here there were a few good things to shoot. I timed my drive to […]
Last week I took a trip to Edward Medard Park and Reservoir in Plant City to look for some Snail Kites that are now nesting in the area. I did see the Snail Kites although I did not get great shots. Guess I will have to go back and try […]
The two shots tonight go back a few years when I was on a trip in Africa with my sister who had just finished her two year stint in the Peace Corps. The first shot is a pair of White Storks that were nesting on a wall in Marrakesh, Morocco. […]
Since I have had a lot of interest in my last few photos from Dry Tortugas National Park, here are a couple more. There are not too many better places to relax than this hammock at Fort Jefferson. You can get a cool ocean breeze and have spectacular views of […]

This year I visited the Black Skimmers on Indian Shores a little too early. There were only a couple of parents with chicks and the ones that were there were all pretty small and not doing a lot. Only 1 week or two later Tropical Storm Debby came and destroyed […]
A few months ago when the water level was low there were a ton of wading birds at the Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland. In the mornings it was easy to capture reflections. The hard part was to isolate the birds or groups of bird as there were so […]
On my last visit to the Circle B Bar Reserve I got the chance to practice some flight photography. I stationed myself on the dock on Lake Hancock around sunrise. I started by trying to capture silhouettes of the birds as they flew past the rising sun and its reflection […]
These two photos are from my last trip to Viera Wetlands. The first shot is of a nesting Great Blue Heron with two young chicks. There is obviously a bit of sibling rivalry going on. The second shot is of three Glossy Ibis. They are a less common bird, but […]
Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers out there! Since grandma took the kids last night for a sleepover I made a quick trip to the Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland again. The two things I really like about this place is that it is pretty close, about 45 […]
