Lake Apopka Wildlife

Lake Apopka Loop Trail is 14.6 miles of road that is not paved, but mostly gravel.
A great trail for for observing nature, especially for birding. There is a wide variety of birds with plenty of alligators, occasional raccoons and otters, and much more. There is an old scenic pump house that offers some great photo opportunities.

Crimson Morning

Photo Art of Coral Cove – I thought I would try something a little different with the image to capture more of the feeling I had when I took the photo

Blowing Rocks

A few images from Blowing Rocks. We walked along the beach to get to this location before the park opened. The Anastasia Limestone shoreline is rough and rugged to walk on and beautiful to photograph.
