Water – Titusville Gold
Water for me is best in the golden light of dawn. Or just about anytime – as long as it stays in its container.
Post for Photo 101.
Squawker

Substitute “mom” with “dad” in above quote – been there.
The common gallinule above was caught as I continued my hunt for the purple gallinule. One morning I spotted the purple gallinule in the perfect light. Sun beaming off of it’s gorgeous chest – I didn’t have my camera. That said the common is quite beautiful too.

Bird Day
“Three rules of work: Out of clutter find simplicity; From discord find harmony; In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” – Albert Einstien
Pleasant surprise when I downloaded this guy. Decent capture of the anhinga, with a boat-tail grackle and a tern-like bird flying by.

Street Photography – Photo 101
Memory Mall – UCF – March 2015Well, here is my feeble attempt at a street photo, this is the memory mall which is only really hopping on football game days. It’s tailgate central. We have a rather big campus so it doesn’t look that crowded – for being the 2nd largest university in the country.
My challenge is to train myself to see interesting stuff in the man-made world. Any advice would be appreciated.
Now looking in the other direction —-
Chillin
“Tension is who you think you are, relaxation is who you are” – Chinese Proverb
While I doubt this bird is relaxing, watching him relaxes me. Today I am trying scheduled posts for the first time.

Curiosity
“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” – Walt Disney
A bit of a whimsical picture today. This great egret stretched his neck about as far as it goes. His face at this angle reminds me of an ostrich.

Florida State Wildflower
“To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wildflower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.” William Blake
Leavenworth’s Tickseed is Florida’s state wildflower – in fact the entire species – Coreopsis. You can find it all over Central Florida.

Alligator
“For us there is only trying. The rest is not our business” – T.S. Elliot
This is one of the largest alligators I’ve seen in years. For perspective I usually take pictures with my zoom at 300mm – I had to drop back to 190MM to get the entire gator in it. Guessing 12 feet long. Yikes!
Off to day 2 of bird photography workshop. Hopefully we will be a little drier today. maybe even see the sun.
