Great Catch Baby Onesie

Another shot of the Anhinga with his armored catfish. Armored catfish are an invasive species in Florida lakes. They are thought to have originated from Central and South America through the aquarium trade. They burrow into shoreline areas to mate and lay eggs, which overtime causes erosion of the banks. So this Anhinga has not only caught dinner, but also helped the environment!

I love the outdoors and just watching nature and its interactions. One of my favorite things to photograph is wildlife. My goal is to capture a cute behavior, an endearing moment, an interesting facial expression or wildlife in action. A very close second is beautiful scenery. When I was young, I remember looking at a painted scene on my grandmothers wall and daydreaming that I was in that place. So, I naturally look for scenes that encourage one to pause for a moment, relax and breathe. It could be something very simple, a 'stop and smell the roses' moment that most people would overlook on an average day. My desire is for my photographs to evoke a feeling of calm, provide a distraction from stress, dream and maybe even laugh. I trust...
