Alligators and wildlife live among us here in St Petersburg. Booker Creek Park is only a few minutes ride from my apartment and is the playground for a pod of alligators. It’s a little alarming to experience them in the open like that for the first time. Knowing that they can and do [...]
I have successfully returned will all my limbs attached from Booker Creek Park in St. Petersburg, Florida. For your viewing pleasure here are the alligators that some of you had trouble seeing in an earlier post. The first photo is a wide angle shot of the two alligators, next is a zoomed and cropped [...]
St. Petersburg held its grand Prix this weekend. I had the chance to watch some of the time trials and testing of the cars. Way way way loud. Way fast! Way fun. Although I shot several videos with the iPhone I had a technical glitch with the microphone, which added white [...]

I finally made my way to Tampa Bay's water's edge to catch a sunrise. I liked it more than the sunsets... There felt more of an activity about at least with the birds and the dolphins.
