Florida and Wildlife

I (Andrew) have found a new extra-curricular activity here in Tampa, FL - searching for any and all types of wildlife, and photographing them!

I don't have all of the equipment necessary to present stellar photos, but I am working on it and with time (and money) I'll have all the equipment necessary to create pieces of mastery - OK, that may be stretching it.

Broad-tailed Hummingbird
Some of the most current creatures I have been able to capture are; a Scarlet Kingsnake, Some really cool Turtles on a log, and a Broad-tailed Hummingbird (Left: that was actually in CO).





Scarlet Kingsnake
I have been keeping a Wildlife Photo Set on our Flickr page - which you can access here.
I'm trying to focus on animals in their natural habitat and ones that are not photographed in captivity, but their will be a few from awhile ago..



Turtles On A Log
It seems as though the skies the limit with the amount of wildlife you can find around here. I recently discovered that there is an owl (still working on an ID) WHO lives within walking distance and a great patch of land, that has all kinds of little critters and birds, that is also within walking distance of our home.



I have also started a Flickr Group for Presso Espresso enthusiasts that I hope will grow and provide a place for Presso (All-Clad Presso owners too!) owners to share their secrets to pulling the best shot's out of the best little lever action espresso maker I have ever come across!

Nice pics! I like the snake and the turtles. We used to see tons of turtles in Austin. I'm going to check out the Presso group as I can call myself a proud owner : )

(re: the snake) You know what they say: Red, yella killa fella. Red, black venom lack. Way to know your old folksy aphorisms! -rob
