I'm a professional ecologist / botanist working since 1990 for Alachua County, Florida's Environmental Protection Department. Raised on Virginia's Eastern Shore, I've been drawn to nature and natural things for as long as I can remember.

 

I'm a self-taught and learning photographer, so please offer any suggestions you may have to improve the images -- I've a fairly thick skin regarding constructive criticism. There's so much to learn and so little time.

p.s. If you're wondering "What the heck is a thneed"?, you'll have to read "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss.

 

Equipment -- Currently using Canon 30D & 40D frames

Michael is a total botany geek...which I am thankful for : ) Viewing his stream over the last few months is like taking a walk through some of Florida's most precious areas and viewing some of it's most magnificent and endangerd plants, wildlife, insects and birds. His images are always crisp, clear and well composed. To add to his spectacular images...one is also treated to a fantastic description of the subject matter, both well written and articulate. On top of all of this... he is also a humble and fun contact. ( and a Zepplin fan...lol) Thank you Michael for sharing your wonderful pictures, knowledge and laughs...I am very greateful. ~ Mandy
