Kiba is a lovely and energy-charged 3-year old Belgian Malinois. Fortunately, her enthusiastic owner cooperated with me to take this shot, by making a few long-distance throws of Kiba's toy. First, I was shooting with a 400mm hand-held for which you need the distance, and second, I wanted Kiba to develop a full and fast run to capture the action at it's peak. This is one of the images from the series I really love.

Cape Florida State Park. Ponce de Leon named this area "Cape of Florida" when he led the first Spanish expedition to Florida in 1513. The Cape Florida lighthouse, the park's best known feature, was completed in 1825 but was damaged during the Second Seminole War. The repaired tower, completed in 1846, remains the oldest standing structure in Miami-Dade County. In 2004, Cape Florida was designated a National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Site. Voted one of the top ten beaches by Dr. Beach. Photo was captured by a camera suspended under a kite line. Kite Aerial Photography.
Tricolored Heron
Photographed in Key Biscayne, Florida
A few days ago, while waiting and setting up for some (now unsuccessful) sunset shots, I spotted in the distance, on the side bay behind me, a few birds. At that time, most likely they were looking for dinner. I started approaching them with a long walk through the woods in a way that, once I had a clear shot, the light would illuminate them from the side. Besides, I wanted to have an unobstructed fading-out clear background. This heron, which was the best photo candidate, got extremely cautious as I approached slowly through the woods to take this late afternoon picture. As soon I lifted the camera he started moving, and took off after shooting only a handful of frames. I settled for this shot since I liked the little concentric waves created by that first cautious step.

I'd first heard about Stiltsville in a book by Carl Hiassen, I thought then that it had to be fiction. Who'd build a community a mile off the Florida shore in hurricane central? Over the years there were a few more mentions leading me to think that it really was there so when we looked out over Biscayne Bay off the tip of Cape Florida and it was out there, it didn't come as a total "huh? whazzat?"
Still, it seems improbable...
It's now part of the NPS. They've got a good brief summation of the history and current status here:
