From the Hillsborough River

I was kayaking on the Hillsborough River when I saw this egret catch a salamander. At this particular moment, the salamander appears to be facing the egret just before he was devoured. I'll post a more friendly animal photo in my next post!

Three Shells

Although I believe I prefer to the rocky coasts of the Pacific Northwest, I also enjoy the smooth beaches of Florida's Gulf Coast - especially in the undeveloped regions. I hope you like it.

Merganser

This photo was taken on Honeymoon Island State Park. I believe it is a Merganser. These ducks were diving in the water to look for food and I had to try to time their entrance to the surface and get a shot off before they dove again. This particular bird was photographed with a 400mm telephoto lens.
