A beautiful, sunny, summer day brings out the beauty everywhere in Florida, even under the Boardwalk in Treasure Island, St. Pete, Florida.
Under the Venice beach fishing pier. Took the family here for the weekend to allow the kids to search for Shark tooth fossil and more. Me, of course always looking for the windows of opportunity to capture something from the imagination.
Yesterday someone blessed me with the most beautiful words regarding my photography, specifically an image of a Florida panther that I had previously done. I was truly moved by what they had to say, and it made me think...yes...when I saw him through my lens, I felt both my heart and breath pause...isn't it amazing how special, sacred moments have the power to do that? I find mine largely in nature, with G-d's other beings, plant and animal. Here is a portrait of a critically endangered Florida panther, who makes a home at Florida State Park - Homosassa Springs Wildlife.
American alligator - I just love their reflections off the water during the fall. Not a typical way for the rest of the country to enjoy fall colors, but it sure is for an alligator portrait photographer (APP). :-)
Without the rain, the puddles, the wind...there would be no flowers, sounds of raindrops, lakes and ponds, happy ducklings, flowers and no rainbows?? We need rainbows.
A gorgeous sunrise with brilliant colors is a great way to begin the day. Photographed at Lauderdale by the Sea.
