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 […]

Black Skimmers
It has been awhile since I posted any shots of the Black Skimmers and I have not been able to get out and take any more pictures recently so I figured I would post a few of these. They are fun to watch. It can be quite funny to watch […]
Something a little different
Tonight I am posting something a little different from my normal. Both shots are from Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary near Naples, Florida. Corkscrew has a 2.25 mile boardwalk that goes through the heart of an old cypress swamp. Definitely one of my favorite places in Florida. I always like to arrive […]
Black Skimmer “Rynchops niger”
I have so many of these that I like but I like to try to keep good variety to the photos that I post. Here are a few more from the Black Skimmer colony that unfortunately was affected by one of the storms this year. Hopefully they will be back […]
Grand Teton National Park
Tonight a few of my old favorites from Grand Teton National Park. The first shot was taken with a telephoto lens at Oxbow Bend. I loved the layers of the photo. It has the elk, the forest, and then the mountain. The second shot tonight is of Hidden Falls. This […]
A few more from south Florida
Tonight a few more from my trip to south Florida last week. First, another shot of the rainbow. In this one you can see a little bit of the double rainbow. This was after I sat through the storm a second time, this time at Fakahatchee Strand Preserve. For new […]
Snail Kites
This morning I took another trip back to Edward Medard Park and Reservoir for another shot at the Snail Kites. I had a little better luck today. I probably stayed for about 1 1/2 hours and they flew over maybe 5-6 times. These are definitely the best shots I have […]
Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary part 2
Tonight I am posting a couple more of the shots from my trip to Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary near Naples, Florida. I love the boardwalk there and always try to capture it and the environment. Often this is difficult because it can be very contrasty but is easier to capture near […]
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 […]
Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary
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 […]
