Prairie Dogs
Prairie Dogs are generally found in Western States, Canada and Mexico. These fellows were photographed at Bosque del Apache NWR in New Mexico about five years ago. On my most recent trip to Bosque del Apache we looked for them and they were gone. When I asked one of the officials, all they said was the just disappeared a few years ago.
Gasparilla in Tampa

For a few its just another opportunity to get drunk. Continue reading “Gasparilla in Tampa”
Gator – Head Shot
This up close and personal shot of a Florida alligator was taken during a recent overnight trip to Sarasota. Used my 18-300mm lens (focal length was 210, shutter 1/320 and lens opening at f/13) during a boat ride at Myakka State Park. This dude came close enough to our boat to capture this image.

Sandhill Cranes Up Close
Living in Florida I see Sandhill Cranes just about every day; many times in my backyard. On trips to one of my favorite places, Bosque del Apache NWR in New Mexico, there can be thousands of them, if your are there at the right time, in the Fall as they head South from Western Northern States for the winter. However, this friendly fellow was photographed Vancouver, British Columbia back in 2015. They are big birds with wings spans of approximately 5 feet (females) to well over 6 feet (males).
