Last Sunset of 2009

I took some time to head down to the beach and watch the final sunset of 2009. There wasn’t a green flash, but cloud structure more than made up for it.

Wow! Before I forget, here is your Casual Friday post! It’s a water lily, not to be confused with a lotus flower.

Having finally scored a Hobie Mirage Outback SUV kayak off of CraigsList, and equipped my car with Yakima roof rack system, I woke up at the but-crack of dawn and set out for Rookery Bay.

I love the osprey. We have quite a few around here in South West Florida.
Nature Experience – Turner River
by neeko on Dec.10, 2009, under Nature Experience, Photography
If you have lived any portion of your life in Florida, chances are you have been canoeing or kayaking. It is without a doubt on of the most relaxing and rewarding ways to get in touch with mother nature. The ability to to work as a team and slip stealthy down the waterway brings all of your surroundings that much closer.
I grew up as a Boy Scout, attended summer camps (focusing on nature and marine biology), and even has a family who demanded every Sunday be…well…family day. And those days were usually spent exploring the vast wildernesses of Florida. Needless to say, I have done my fair share of canoeing. However, it had been far too long since my last dip into the Florida streams.
Nature Experience – Kirby Shorter

I was headed down to the Keys for the 4th of July and took the beautiful Tamiami Trail over. It had been a few years since I’ve driven all the way across. So needless to say I was a little intrigued when I passed what appeared to be a new (to me) boardwalk called Kirby Shorter.
B&W Keewaydin – 2009.09.26

Last month I took a kayak trip out to one of the barrier islands here in Naples, Florida called Keewaydin. I was able to get out there shortly after sunrise and find some decent shots. The warm light and high contrast made for some lovely black and white imagery.
Brown Pelican

I was out kayaking one morning and came across this brown pelican. The rising sun provided a lot of warmth to the shot, and thankfully the gulf was calm enough to get a clear shot.

The last of my beach related photo backlogs. This was also taken with the 70-200 L. There were an amazing amount of birds on the beach this day. Take a look and let me know what you think!
Nature Experience – J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge
by neeko on Sep.07, 2009, under Photography, Sunset
The J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge is a curious place. Located on Sanibel Island, Florida, it fits in perfectly with the surrounding area. For those that have never been to Sanibel, one of the main things to do is rent or bring your own bicycle. With bike paths along most of the major parts of the island, it’s quite the friendly place for the recreational cyclist. Basically a nice easy way to tour the island, and the wildlife refuge is no different.
