    Title or Location: Six Mile Cypress Slough
    I love the peace and tranquility of Six Mile Cypress Slough in Fort Myers. I also am a fan of Henry David Thoreau and John Muir. These expressive quotes that are on the boardwalk fit so perfectly with the surroundings. There is always something to see and always something to hear if you pay attention.

    I was there to get some shots of the sun going down behind the Sanibel Causeway Bridge. We, my wife and I, were talking to a friend there after the sun was down and all of a sudden these striking, almost fluorescent pink stripes appeared against the dark blue sky. And it only lasted a few minutes and then disappeared.

    I wanted this shot because the water was pretty still and gave a good reflection. I was shot with a Nikon Coolpix P1000 at f/5.6 at 1/500th of a second with the zoom at 216mm.

    it was a very beautiful afternoon and I decided to go for a walk with my 16-year-old son, of course with my camera, I invited him to go through a small pine forest in search of some image to take and we found a nest of these cute owls, in that moment there was a very warm lighting, and the owl gave us his best pose

    Title or Location: Crane Park, Whitton.
    Taken with Nikon D7500 with 300mm Nikkor lens. Two male Kingfishers possibly adult male and offspring sitting low by the River Crane. Light was low so had to use a high ISO. Because of this the image had to be denoised . It was then cropped and clarity and texture added in Lightroom. I have a nice triptych of them sitting in three different poses.

    Title or Location: Bauld Hill, Stanwell Park
    I was on my way home when I saw the paragliders hovering ahead. So even though I thought I would try to get a few photos of them. The storm was getting closer & we all thought we would get wet, but just before it hit, it threw out a quick burst of colour. Sometimes it?s all about timing. iPhone 12 Pro Max & Snapseed.
