Osprey Season



I've had a few good opportunities lately to get some osprey photos. The reason this is noteworthy? These osprey are not too far out in the wild. In fact, their nest is only about 60 feet from a road...


Nature abounds, even during the "quiet" time here in Florida. There are photo opportunities all over. Sometimes the best opportunities are occurring right before our very eyes and we fail to notice them. I can't tell you how many cars I watched drive past as these osprey were circling, and countless people were busy talking on their cell phones oblivious to these sights. In fact, I am amazed at how few cars I ever see driving with the windows open anymore. It's a great big beautiful world out there, but many never notice...


So, enough preaching. I suppose I could take a moment to comment about people who only update their blog once every couple of months, but that's another story for another day...


Okay, now it's time for you to go out and shoot something. A camera only does its job when it's not packed away in the camera bag. Remember, if it's not fun you're probably doing something wrong...
