Got to speak with Florida Governor candidate last night at Versailles and talked about conservation. As the founder of , I wanted to know where he stands on restoring Old Florida, not just protecting what's left. From our near extinct panthers to the fading seagrass of Florida Bay. From restoring citrus to reforming the FWC with real Floridians who care about our landscape and wildlife. Worth hearing him out regardless of where you stand.

Miami Beach Memorial Day Air and Sea Show photo dump!

Finally had an opportunity to photograph one of my favorite birds of all time... The A-10 Thunderbolt "Warthog"!! 🇺🇸⚡

Can you name every aircraft in this carousel?

And then there were three! A week after photographing my first Eastern Screech Owl in a cypress dome, I would discover a brood of three owlets in the same nest!

This was my most challenging photos to date. Dealing with the shaded forest and the waning blue light of dusk, I tried every trick in the book to get as sharp possible photos as I could from opening my aperture wide open to slowing down my shutter speed to 1/10th of a second while keeping ISO grain levels at bay. Out of the hundreds, I was able to salvage a handful. If only I had "retired dentist" money for an f/4 600mm!
