Vultures






These are considered by many to be disgusting, nasty birds and epitomize the scum of life. I happen to think they are graceful and beautiful birds. Maybe I'm the only one that really watches them?

Osprey


These are fairly abundant here, as well. I really enjoy (obviously) the wildlife here. It isn't uncommon for a group of Ibis to run across your lawn at any given moment.

Sand Hill Cranes



These are pretty large birds and they are protected. Yes, they taste like chicken...

Damsels





I really enjoy these. Much like when I was in Japan, there are thousands to watch.

Crabs!



A patient man notices a lot on the beach. I'm not talking about bikinis. The real beauty is in the more primitive, non-trend effected species that the Lord made. If you watch long enough (literally hours, in my case) you can see the sand start to come to life.

Gatorland Pictures

Every so often I get to go into the park and take pictures of the wild life. Florida is cool like that. It's really hot, though.
