Had to get out of the house this morning. Down by the Tolomato River. These are all SOOC because I’m lazy like that. Well, contrast adjustment on the three in the tree. #photography#birds#EM1X#Olympus#OMD#Nocatee#Tolomato
It wanted to fight the broom. Used a garden hose to send him back into the swamp. Neighbor texted me, “There’s a gator on your lanai.” Suppose I’d have to call someone if it was much bigger. #Florida#Nocatee
Nephew’s in town staying with us. He’s a photographer, roadie, etc. with a band called Mom Jeans and they’re going on tour tomorrow. He came down a couple days early. Had to take him back to the #Nocatee Preserve. Heat index was over 100°, and the flies were biting, so we didn’t stay long. He sleeps late so we didn’t get down there until late in the morning. Brought along the old Oly E-M5 with the 14-150 mounted. #Photography#Olympus#EM5#Florida#wetlands
Visited one of the #Nocatee amenities yesterday, Settlers Pond. Very nice place. Saw a lot of ducks. Went back this morning with the #Olympus#EM1X and the 100-400mm zoom. Tried to get some ducks in flight. Not exactly my strong suit, but I think I can get some practice there. (Also need to get some practice on editing.) These are black bellied whistling ducks. They sound like squeaky toys when vocalizing. #Photography#Florida#birds
