It was pretty cold that afternoon, so it was shame to let him walk around on the concrete. My wife wanted to take him, but we felt the restaurant took pretty good care of him.

Here are few more of my photos from yesterday, they’re certainly not print worthy and the quality is poor. But I like them because this King fisher or Cormorant caught my eye dancing on the tree tops.

I was out getting my car serviced this morning and across the street from the service station is Lake Parker. I had a few minutes, stopped and took this photo.
What caught my eye in this pic was the reflection of the power plant and the saw grass in the foreground.

A little backstory to my interest in photography. For most of my life (since I was 13) I’ve taken photos, mostly for the love it with an occasional wedding or event thrown in. Started with a 35mm Fujica ST605, then a Canon A1, then went digital Nikon D7000 and then Sony NEX 7.
