Sunrise at Charles Deering Estate
Early morning photo shoot at The Charles Deering Estate in Old Cutler, Miami, Florida
Charles Deering lived on the 444 acres of property along Biscayne Bay from 1922 to 1927. The property consists of a three story wooden house built in 1900, the Richmond Cottage, and a three story stone mansion. The grounds are amazingly landscaped and offer a beautiful glimpse of the Florida’s past.
The grounds include what is thought to be the largest virgin coastal tropical hardwood hammock in the continental United States. There is also walkway through the Mangroves just north of the famous Palm Tree lined dock area that leads to The Cutler Burial Mound – a prehistoric mound on the Charles Deering Estate. It is one of the few surviving prehistoric mounds in Miami-Dade County.

Stormy Morning off Dania Beach Pier – 0193
A storm was passing just east of me over the ocean. The wind was calm and the sun was hidden by the clouds. Stormy Morning off Dania Beach Pier – 0193
A Stormy Day at the Dania Beach Pier
It was just before dawn and the skies were heavy with storm clouds on the horizon at the Dania Beach Fishing Pier. There is always something fun to photograph at a pier in the early morning as the day begins.

As I walked under the pier to the other side, I always enjoy looking at the columns and how they line up. The waves can be tricky sometimes..

I setup to capture the cloudy, colors and the calm ocean before the rains came. The as the sun rose, the colors of the morning shown through the clouds creating some terrific glowing colors and scenic skies!
