    Went back to Wakodahatchee Wetlands for another shoot. When this wood stork takes off it sounds like a Huey.

    Met up with another photographer this am at sunrise at Peaceful Waters Sanctuary in Wellington, Fl to shoot some birds. Doing the edit now. I like this one tho I have no clue what kind of bird it is.

    lmao - you are asking the wrong person :) I'll tell you what I know. . . I've shot a lot of action photography in the last 55 years. That includes airshows and motorsports. Those are two pretty predictable subjects though. They don't make 'surprise' direction changes, at least not usually. I...

    Thanks DaTow'd. Even a monkey gets luck once in a while ;) I switched to a mirrorless body about 2 months ago. This is a learning trip to Florida for me with the camera. It's a Canon R1 body with a 100-500mm zoom. It's one smart camera. My old body is about 14 years old. Much has changed!

    Got on the road at 4:30 this am to drive up to the Orlando Wetlands in Christmas, FL. Took 2-1/2 hours but they have a rookery with spoonbills that I wanted to shoot.

    Leather Work Gloves

    I'm on my second pair of these gloves I lost the 1st pair in our move 2 years ago. Unlike previous leather gloves, I've never had a pricker penetrate them. I find them very flexible, so easy to work with.

    Is getting a tiller worth it?

    I can't speak to the size of a tiller to get but here is my experience. About 5 years ago I wanted to replace about 3/4 acre lawn in our old house. The quotes I got were 'knock your socks off' high. I bought a Simca 5' reverse rotation tiller. The ground hadn't been touched in 20 years so before...

    As I was leaving Wakodahatchee Wetlands this little fella was sitting on the railing of the boardwalk. Common Rock Pigeon. I don't think I ever took a picture of a pigeon before. . .

    ty decided if I have to spend time in Florida (wifey's thing) then I am going to try to learn to shoot birds in flight. I've been into photography for almost 70 years but never tried shooting that. Maybe an old dog. . .

    Awesome dogs / Crazy pets Thread

    Good luck on your search. We have yellow and black labs now. The pair before them were black and fox red. All rescues. The fox red has been gone over 10 years now. Still think he was the best damn dog I ever had.

    fat little bugger! Before we came down to Florida for the winter I did exactly the same thing. I took a branch and 'planted' it in the ground so I could hang a feeder in front of a window in my study. Sure did attract a lot of birds in a hurry - but no hawks.
