This morning my plan was to go to the South Skyway Bridge Fishing Pier to capture the full moon setting over the water and the sun rising over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. However, on arrival, I was told that the bridge is only open for fishermen between sunrise and sunset. […]
I don’t shoot a lot of bird photography any more, but sometimes it is just too easy to pass up. Living in Florida, near the water, I have easy access to a lot of good bird photography sites. Fort Desoto is definitely one of the best sites for any type […]

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]
Two more bird shots tonight. The first one is a cool silhouette of a Brown Pelican at sunrise. This is not the picture that I have had in my mind and have been looking for of a bird silhouetted against the rising or setting sun, but it is pretty close. […]
