This is my Northern Cardinal page. As I photograph them in my back yard or other places in Florida, I will share them here. Per Wikipedia, “The common name, as well as the scientific name, of the northern cardinal refers to the cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church, who wear distinctive red robes and caps. […]

Suze and I visited Lake June-in-Winter Scrub Preserve State Park this morning. I was hunting the elusive Florida Scrub Jay, but failed. I did however, capture images of a Red Headed Wood Pecker, which is a first for me. I have seen them before but never obtained a good photograph. The bird was about 100 […]

I am a morning person. At least, after my two mugs of strong coffee. I am exhilarated, just literally filled with creative juices. Unfortunately, mornings are a difficult time to write currently. Too many things to do other than writing, and I have responsibilities. When the evening comes, my wife goes to bed early to […]

I think a great deal, and wonder about things. Today I am asking the question, “Why does depression exist and what is its purpose?”  I guess that is two questions. Anyway, regardless if you believe in a Creator of the universe or just evolution, most things are here for a purpose. Eyebrows for instance, keep […]
