I paddle my canoe 1 1/2 miles to a great white egret rookery which consists of a few small mangrove islands. In this image, an adult parent is attempting to feed its hungry chick.
About The Photographer
Throughout my life, I have always found time to go into the wilderness. In 1997, my career led me to Miami. I began exploring the wilderness areas of south Florida and experiencing their amazing wildlife by way of canoe. As the canoe was essential to my wilderness explorations, the camera soon followed. Interestingly, I never realized until I became a photographer that art played a significant role in my life. Starting at a young age, I dabbled in music and drawing; but I never considered photography because of the expense of camera equipment. My eventual investment in cameras began as a way to record my wilderness trips, but soon grew into a passion that allowed my artistic side to develop. At last, I had found a way to combine my love of nature with my love of art.
