Somehow, despite living in Florida for my whole life I had never made it over to the East Coast beaches during turtle nesting season. I rectified that this weekend. I saw 5 mama Green Sea Turtles covering up their nests and watched 3 of them make their way back into […]

Swallowtailed Kites at Sunrise
A little good and bad with todays photography venture. I’ll start with the good. I got my best shots ever of Swallowtailed Kites including some nice flight shots and some cool sunrise shots. I got to hang out with one of my photography friends for a bit. I saw a […]
Niagara Falls
Myself, my wife, my sister and her husband just returned from a 3 day weekend trip to Niagara Falls. We had a good time and got to see a lot of the area. The first evening we walked down and watched the falls light up and watched the fireworks. The […]
Summer Doldrums
Summer is definitely the toughest time for wildlife photography in Florida. The time you can be outside is limited by the heat and rain and the animal activity is significantly lower also. I walked 8.5 miles this morning and didn’t feel like I saw a lot until finding my juvenile […]
Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive
I ventured over to Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive yesterday which is somthing I will probably never do on a weekend again. It is a great birding spot that is only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The issue is it is a one lane dirt road and I ended up getting […]

Iceland 2026
We just returned from our summer vacation and had a great trip in Iceland. Iceland is a beautiful country, at least in summer. The temperatures were in the 40-60 degree range generally which was a nice change from Florida. We saw a ton of waterfalls, some very unique landscapes and […]
Skimmer Babies
Went to watch the Black Skimmer colony this morning. Most of the babies are pretty young. As always it can be a beautiful as well as a brutal experience watching them. Its cool to see them cuddled up with their parents and to watch the parents feed them. However, there […]
