More Birds
“When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt
More birds – shocking I know! I’m seeking inspiration – while I had a a couple of good morning shoots this past weekend, I’m not at all satisfied with the resulting photos. I feel it’s time to head in a new direction, just haven’t seen it yet.

Beginnings
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” – Lao-tzu
These pictures were that first step for me. I fell in love with the wetlands on that day. Since that day I have begun volunteering at the wetlands, I started a blog and have posted at least 2x a day since January, taken thousands of pictures and 2 bird photography seminars, read many wonderful books, begun study of birds, enrolled in the first “Florida Master Naturalist” course in the fall. Met many incredible people through volunteering and virtually through blogging.
Thanks to everyone and especially my wife for putting up with me. Lets see what the next 999 miles will bring.
