Crested Caracaras are probably my favorite Florida bird of prey although burrowing owls would give them a run for their money. I’m not sure what it is that I like about them, but I just think they have a cool look to them. In Florida, they occupy the central and […]

Two more from Tampa
My posting schedule will probably be pretty light over the next month. We are in the process of moving and have a lot going on right now. I will still post sporadically hopefully and will be back to a more normal schedule again in June. The two shots tonight are […]
St Petersburg Sights
The first outing I took after getting my new Canon 5D Mark III a couple of months ago was to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge for a sunrise. The shots did not turn out quite like I hoped, but I got a couple of good ones. The other shot is a […]
St Petersburg Pier set to close May 31st
According to today’s Tampa Bay Times, the St Petersburg Pier is set to close May 31st. I have said before that it was always one of the focal points of downtown to me as a photographer. My main hope is that whatever they end up replacing it with, being the […]
Glazer Children’s Museum and Harbour Island
These two places are kind of at opposite ends of the spectrum. The Glazer Children’s Museum is of course all about kids. There are a lot of things to do there and if you have kids it is definitely worth a visit. Harbour Island on the other hand is a […]

Winding Roads
Winding roads area a landscape photographers dream. Our trip down the Blue Ridge Parkway last fall was full of them. As a photographer you almost want to stop every time you turn the corner and see a new scene in front of you. Lynn Cove Viaduct is probably the most […]
Great Smoky Mountains Cabins
I really like shooting older buildings and of course, Great Smoky Mountains National Park has a lot of nicely preserved ones. The homesteader cabins are found throughout the park but mostly in the Cades Cove region and the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail. [facebook]
Christmas At Disney Hotels
I finally got around to finishing all of my processing from my Christmas trip to Disney and my visit to a bunch of the hotels. These are definitely two of my favorite hotels, the Grand Floridian and Wilderness Lodge. [facebook]
Raymond James Stadium
In honor of the first round of the NFL draft tonight I decided to post a few more shots from my tour of Raymond James Stadium. It was not easy growing up as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer fan for the 80s and until the late 90s when Tony Dungy arrived. […]
