Cape Coral, Florida is home to an estimated 1,000 nesting pairs of Burrowing Owls (Athenecunicularia). The Burrowing Owl is one of the world's smallest owls and the only owl species that lives underground.
Awoke to a robust 35 degrees here along the Florida panhandle this morning and decided to venture over to the seashore to watch the sunrise. While walking around I found this nice little scene that belied the somewhat cold temperatures of the morning.
It seems that a sailboat was stolen this past week in a neighboring town and has washed ashore just down the beach a ways. So it made perfect sense to get up around 0430, head across the street to the beach and try to photograph it, hopefully with some warm morning light streaming across the sunken bow.
A multi-colored sunrise was seen at Pine Glages Natural Area near Jupiter, Florida.

The dynamic diversity found in Everglades National Park is driven by the the sheer dynamism of the weather found in this environment- tropical and rainy, the Everglades can often be gloomy, grey, and wet. On the day that I took this picture, a blanket of clouds covered the entire park and boxed in the scenery. But then, as the sun began to sink towards the horizon and break through the clouds, a magic show began.

I met up with a friend of mine last night to head across the street for sunset and while the sunset didn't disappoint, what I enjoyed most was the soft light, the warmth and just the overall magic that only golden hour can produce.
I went out yesterday afternoon to scout a few locations for future use. I wasn't really planning on shooting anything but I came upon this little slough and I thought I'd see what kind of dynamic range my R6 had. So, when taking this photo, I exposed for the clouds and the sky. I'm really happy with how much detail I was able to recover in the shadows. I also really like the side light and faint visibility of the sun rays coming through the trees.

Since we finally have a morning with really low humidity and temps, I thought it the perfect time to "phone a friend" and head to the beach for sunrise. This is Navarre Beach, FL.
I love how the glow of the morning sun shed it's warmth upon this "Pathway To Paradise" where.....as William Butler Yeats said...
"And I will find some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings."

I really love the soft pastel colors of that moment when the golden hour begins to give way to the dawn. Sunrise is such a great time to be outside.
Navarre is said to be "Florida's Most Relaxing Place" and this is one of the best places I know of to just sit, relax and daydream, read a book, or just enjoy a beautiful sunset.
One of the best things about camping and venturing off of the main roads are the serendipitous encounters.
As I went for my run, last night, there was a beautiful lightning storm happening over the Everglades. Summer is on her way. Can’t wait.

Sunset looked like it may be pretty good last night so I ran across the street to our little park here in Navarre to see what I could capture. I liked this one, I like the color in the park and the light from the lamp post shining on the trees and just the overall contrast of the scene.
Yesterday was such an incredibly nice day here on the Florida panhandle. Temps in the mid 60's, no wind and a beautiful sky. It was a perfect opportunity to photograph one of my favorite scenes. This is the real Florida, not the concrete jungle you see farther south.
After my walk this morning, I took a little ride over to one of my favorite little bayous and was treated to this peaceful little scene. So calm and serene, it reminds me of old Florida and the way things used to be
One thing I really love about living along this part of the Gulf coast are all of the trees and nature that surrounds us. I really love how the trees at times take on a personality of their own as they're shaped by the winds and weather we have.
I usually say Everglades National Park is the hardest national park to photograph in. I don’t resent it for that; I respect it. The Everglades is subtle. The Everglades is challenging. High sawgrass prevents you from getting a glimpse of the landscape, save for at specific “windows” or gaps in the brush. The animals can be rare and taciturn.
This weekend, however? Easy.
I can’t believe I got this shot.
The heron didn’t fly off.
The sun and clouds cooperated.
The trees were perfectly lit.
This is EXACTLY what The Everglades is.
This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on seas and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.

Yesterday, I went over to the beach with a friend of mine to take in the sunset. While I was walking about the dunes, I became captivated by this little scene. I love how the warm light of the setting sun interacted with the curvature of the sand and created a wonderful mixture of shadows and light leading out to the Gulf.
I really love the soft winter sunrises over the Gulf that we enjoy here along the Florida panhandle.
