Well, it had been awhile since I had made it out for nature photography and I finally did a little last night and then made it out again this morning. Feels good to get back to it and get out of the house doing something I enjoy. I arrived at […]

Peaches the Flamingo
This morning I made yet another trip out to Fort Desoto. My goal was to see Peaches the Flamingo. Peaches was one of the flamingoes that were blown in from either the Yucatan or Cuba during Hurricane Idalia. A few days later this flamingo was found in distress, floundering in […]
Flamingos in Florida
After Hurricane Idalia there started popping up of American Flamingos at several places throughout Florida and even a couple in Ohio. It is though that the ones in Florida at least got caught up in the hurricane and brought over from Cuba. A flock was first seen at Fred Howard […]
Spring Migration at Fort Desoto
The spring migration is going on right now so mom and I took a trip out to Fort Desoto to see what we could find. Fort Desoto is one of the best places to see the migrating birds and we found a decent variety. Spring migration is the most exciting […]
St Petersburg and Fort Desoto
Last night I though it would be a crappy sunset but went anyway and got a really nice one. This morning I thought would be a good one and it wasn’t. Shrug, guess that’s how the cookie crumbles. I did take a St Petersburg Skyline shot in the fog and […]
Fort Desoto Sunrise and Birds
Took a trip out to Fort Desoto on Saturday morning. The goal was to capture the sunrise centered over the Skyway Bridge. I did get it although the clouds interfered somewhat. Afterwards I wandered around a little to photograph birds. I got some really good shots of the American Oystercatchers […]
Sunshine Skyway Bridge and Fort Desoto
Off of work today so made a trip over to the St Pete side which I have kind of neglected for awhile. I started a the South Skyway Fishing Pier and photographed the Sunshine Skyway Bridge lights and watched the sun come up. The Sunrise itself wasn’t spectacular, but I […]
Fort Desoto
Took a trip out to Fort Desoto for the first time in awhile this morning. There have been some changes. They actually lock the gate now so you can’t get in until they man the toll booth at 7 AM. I had to backtrack to find a different sunrise location […]
Fort Desoto Sunrise
Fort Desoto is one of my favorite sunrise locations in the Tampa Bay area. My favorite place at Fort Desoto to capture the sunrise is looking towards the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. This site is especially nice when the sunrise lines up with the spans of the bridge. My second sunrise […]
Fort Desoto Sunrise
For sunrises at Fort Desoto Park I usually like to go to either the end near the Skyway bridge or the Bay Pier. The Bay Pier is the shorter of the two piers at Fort Desoto, but usually lines up better with the sunrise. I captured a few sunrise shots […]
