The last day of the year and I was able to get out and shoot at Wakodahatchee Wetlands!
The Great Blue Herons are nesting and here is a picture of their courtship.

I was not dialed in right so I did lose the whites in the face but the image is still strong enough for me to overlook that, but I still kick myself.

HAPPY NEW YEARS & BE SAFE.

A few more thousand words......

Some recent images for you to marvel over..... haha

Great White Egret - Gatorland

Great White Egret 7420_5D, originally uploaded by floridanaturephotography.

If you have never been to Gatorland in Kissimmee Florida then you are missing out on a lifetime experience!
Gatorland is located in Kissimmee Florida just outside of Orlando
and close to all the Disney World attractions so if you plan on Disney you should DEFINITELY make time for Gatorland!

You will witness not only more Alligators & Crocodiles in one place then you will probably ever see in your lifetime you can view one of Florida most stunning Rookeries where Egrets & Herons Court, Preen, Mate & Nest a mere few feet from you! You will see nest so close you could pick up their eggs!

If you are a photographer bring extra Cards/Film & batteries.
If your are just a "picture taker" then your point & shoot compact camera will still get you images that will leave you breathless!

If you are just simply a nature lover then plan to spend a few hours because the sights are many.
