That was the name of the class that my friend and I attended today, It was a wonderful class and we stopped on the way home to take pictures. I’d like to say that I tried to apply some of what I learned in the class to the photos I was taking, because you are supposed to visualize the photo you want ahead of time and then make it happen. Beginners ‘spray and pray’, which means you take a zillion pictures and hope you get a good one. I confess, I’m guilty of that. But we had fun today, and practice makes perfect, or so I’m told. I tried to whip them into shape through cropping, at least to some extent.
A long, interesting stem with tiny flowers on the end.Bugs, because they were there. Halloween colors on the bugs.We got caught in the rain, but that didn’t stop us.Gnomes on the brain again. I thought that looked like a gnome door at the playground.Magnificent live oak at Hammock Park.On to Anclote Gulf Park where this cute fishy was caught, but then released. Betty’s detective work came up with the name Scrawled Cowfish.This great blue heron is looking out of the frame so it’s not a good picture, but I liked the rocks.An ever-present osprey on the hunt.Great blue again, but with some repeating pattern…A tricolor heron in the weeds…Welcome to Hammock Park. Gotta love the boots.A water feature, of sorts.This great blue appears to have a wound to his wing, here’s hoping he can fly.You have to drive in through a marina to find Miss Vicki’s where we had lunch. Seems that Yamaha has a lock on those outboard motors.I missed this picture the other day. This little blue heron has a frog he was about to eat. Life just isn’t a Disney movie, as much as I might wish it was.
We got rained on while we were taking pictures at Hammock Park, but we were luckier while we had lunch outdoors by the water. What a nice day…
Living on the Nature Coast of Florida provides constant photo ops, and I need an outlet to share what I see. And sometimes what I think...
