South Florida
The semi-tropical climate of South Florida makes it an ideal place for birds and other wildlife to flourish, and a great place for photography.

"osprey", Everglades, Florida, USA. We went on a photography tour in the Everglades to capture photos of birds and other wildlife. I found taking photos of birds was very challenging. The birds were moving, and so was the boat due to the waves and current. It was tough to get the birds in focus.
"Osprey", Everglades, Florida, USA.
"American White Ibis", Everglades, Florida.
"Palm Tress", Everglades, Florida, USA. This shot was taken as we returned from a photo shoot in the Everglades. The sun was setting, which lit up the palm tree and the clouds in the background.
"Islamorada", Florida Keys, USA. The colours of the water was fantastic! So was the water temperature which at 80 degrees made for a great swim!

"Bahia Honda State Park", Big Pine Key, Florida, USA. Stunning water colours!
