As I was driving to the Dania Beach Pier the sky had a very brilliant glow to it. I was hoping to get there in time to photograph it.Fortunately I got some shots with the brilliant sky and was able to frame the pier in some of the shots. Here …
I am off from work this week. At the top of my “to do” list is a visit to Plantation Preserve Linear Trail. The weather was predicted to be good so I decided to get there early this morning. I had a productive morning at Plantation Preserve Linear Trail. A …
It can be disappointing to set your clock for 6:00 am on a Saturday or Sunday morning in anticipation of a glorious sunrise and not leave without a photo of that “glorious sunrise.” This morning served up a bit of a surprise. There were clouds on the horizon this Saturday …

I visited Tree Tops Park earlier today hoping to get some birds shots. I saw and heard the usual Palm Warblers, Blue Jays and blackbirds. I also saw an Iguana Lizard. But the catch of the day (or morning) was this Green Heron. It barely moved for about 7 minutes …

The Virgin America livery disappeared after the acquisition. This Airbus A320 was spotted at FLL this morning minutes before takeoff.
This Lockheed KC 130R Hercules military jet belonging to the Chilian Air Force was a surprise this Saturday morning at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
This is the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan with the FedEx livery. This small cargo plane makes package deliveries between Fort Lauderdale and Key West. The view of the rotating blades was a result of a slow shutter speed of 1/80s. This image was shot with Canon’s EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II …
