Well, I have managed to make it back from my trip to Florida.   Spent some time photographing birds mostly. It sure is beautiful down there this time of year.  I didn’t have much time to photograph being that I was really down there for business photographing a wedding.  I normally don’t travel such distances to photograph weddings, but this happen to be a special occasion.   My niece was getting married and I told her that I would shoot her wedding.

What time I did have to myself I managed to check out the all famous Gatorland USA as well as take in a few shows at Sea World.  I took a few pictures here and there.   More pictures at Gatorland USA rookery were taken then anywhere else.  Here is there link if you get a chance to visit. http://www.gatorland.com The best times to visit are April to March.  Most birds have been migrating south and you will find plenty in December and January down in Florida, but it really gets to hoping in March.   Lot’s of birds to photograph and plenty of gators too.   I wasn’t all that impressed with them.  Perhaps because they spent more time just lying around while I was there.  Not to say the opportunities were not there, just not at that time.  Gatorland does have some new admission prices just for photographers that include access before opening and after closing hours.  You would guess right, that yes they are well fed, but I really went there just because I was limited on the time and I would be assured of seeing plenty to photograph with the time I had left. I was most impressed with the two Osprey that had been hanging around the area. I managed to capture a few images of one them with a fish in it’s claws.  There was also a Bald eagle that came around for a bit.  He didn’t stick around very long though. I haven’t finished editing all the images therefor I apologize for not having anything to show you in this post.  Please return though because I will post some images from this trip.

I have been updating the site and uploading images from prior shoots after returning from my journey to Florida.  I somehow ended up with a cold and I have been fighting that little virus for a couple days now. Hopefully I will win that battle.  I have updated some images in the portfolio section of the website because I really needed to add something new there.  This month has been a little busy for me and it’s not over yet. I have plans to leave on the 27th of this month for the Washington to photograph the cold wilderness for a few projects I have planned, so bare with me.  I plan on posting plenty of images as well add some new work to the Studio Gallery for sale upon returning from that trip.  I might do some posting while up there too.  So, maybe before I get back from there.

That’s all I have for now so have a good one and I hope you will return.

Chad
