These three personable palm trees I photographed at St. Augustine.
Even though this is an osprey, he kept making me think of the song 'Hej Sokoły.' (Polish national song...it means 'Hey, falcon.' Don't listen to it. It's catchy). Anyhow, I took a lot of pictures to get this one.
This lovely gator is technically "the one that got away." I had forgotten my zoom in the house, and subsequently, missed out on a photograph that could have appeared to have been taken from only a few feet away. And I couldn't get a picture of his fascinating tail.
Dragonfly larvae. (I believe).
This is one of my favorites. A boat came through and made these wonderful ripples.
Mist in the early morning.
Here I become rather obsessed with reflection. When I was younger I thought it was bad luck to see my reflection in the lake, so I wouldn't look. It's actually sort of cool. The water was, one evening in particular, just like a looking glass.
Snail eggs. They were a delicate pink color that doesn't even show up as nicely as it did in person.
More reflections...
This is also one of my most mourned photographs. If it had been more centered, the heron and his reflection would have been frame-worthy.
I like this island a lot, as you can probably tell. It has a lot of character. One day I'm going to buy a canoe and go chasing alligators all over it. (It's too swampy to really walk across, though).So, that is my Florida trip, summed up in pictures. Maybe I'll add my St. Augustine photographs later.
