An Everglades Sunrise – the mist shrouded lake glowed as the sun rose.
It was 4:30am, as I left my house with my friend Ivan, traveling south to Everglades National Park. We arrive at 5:50am, at the Long Pine Key Lake, where it was so dark we could see the Milky Way. For some strange reason someone left three bright lights on at the south side of the lake. As we got out of the car, we felt the coolness of the morning – it was 57 degrees in APRIL! We thought that the mosquitoes would not bother us, but we were very wrong. Fortunately I packet my screening for my hat and quickly put that on as we stood by the lake. The mosquitoes were intense. I can feel the itchy bites on my fingers as I write this. After shooting for about an hour, the sun finally started to rise above the horizon, creating this wonderful rays of light through the fog around the Island. I shot many photos trying to get this image. I was so happy to capture this moment – it made my day!
Reflections
Miami Sunset in Black & White
Catching the sunset of Downtown Miami is never a boring event. The lights of the city come on and the changes in the light are beautiful to watch – Downtown Miami at sunset in Black and White

The Sun Just Went Down
The sun just went down and the lights of the downtown Miami came on
Deerfield Beach Sunrise
ThI got up before dawn to visit the Deerfield Beach Fishing Pier. Sometimes I do not get the clouds looking right, but not on this day! The clouds lined up just right as the sun rose from the horizon. The colors of the morning exploded as the sun bathed the pier and the beach with a warm glow.
Nature’s Reflections
Sunrises change each morning. You can stand in the same place every day and take a photo, yet no two photos will be the same, the sky will change, a bird will appear, a person may walk across at that very moment. Matheson Hammock, Miami Florida
