Osprey - Triple Threat

Another image from Cayo Costa State Park in Florida. This osprey was preparing to land on his giant nest high up in the tree.

Cayo Costa State Park Florida

This is a black and white of Cayo Costa State Park on Florida's Gulf side. This shot was taken after some nasty weather and most of the driftwood was scattered around on the ground. The same image in color didn't have quite the same appeal so we decided to stay with the shadowy b&w. Cayo Costa is an island so one can only get there by boat. It has cheap camping and beautiful sunsets. There are also several nesting Osprey's so it's a good place for a photog to spend a few days.

A human cared enough

Florida's protected owl

The burrowing owls of Florida are protected by state and federal law. These babies live in a subdivision in Western Florida. People decorate the area's surrounding the holes to celebrate the birds and improve awareness.

and the picture says it all.

Capsized

This boat landed on Cayo Costa Beach in Florida. The boat's paint just happened to be the same color as the sunset. It was a beautiful evening until my husband left me alone by the alligator "area". I'm not scared of much but a gator will do it. This island park is only accessible by boat and worth the trip.

Communication is the key

This is a re-post from a long time ago. Since it is a Sunday & we don't normally post on Sunday I decided to send this little fellow along. I love the way he looks as I tend to get that way myself sometimes.

A 180 view

Florida's burrowing owls have tacky neighbors. These neighbors feel the need to create a garbage pile around the owls holes. Just go to a Florida neighborhood in which the owls are living and you will see that the people have decorated their holes with American Flags, fake flowers and Ribbons. I guess it welcomes the owls to the neighborhood?

I'm in a sunset Kinda mood.

Monday's aren't my favorite
