A small lake surrounded by shoreline vegetation with tree in the background and a most clear blue sky.

Two birds in and around a lake. One bird is standing on a dead tree branch and the other is in the water.

Just enjoying the natural beauty of where I live. It might not be mountains or forest but central Florida does have a unique beauty. #RealFlorida #FloridaHiking #Nature

Volunteer Spotlight, North Atlantic Right Whale Survey Members Right Whale Survey Members are part of a network that aids in monitoring and conservation of North Atlantic Right Whales and their habitat in Florida coastal waters.

This week I met a woman who spends January through March sighting right whales. She reports 10 calves were spotted this season. 🐋

Trying to work on academic writing but I love the view from my work setup. I’ll gaze out periodically to be rewarded with little glimpses of wildlife from the window and apartment balcony. #trashpanda #realflorida

a closer look at the images from last weekend hike. initially i was concerned i didn’t do a good job handling the bright sun. overall i think the edits look pretty good and i seem to have captured the creeks essence. #nikonphotography #amateurphotography #realflorida

A serene wetland scene featuring three birds near the water’s edge. On the left, a white egret wades in the shallow water. In the center, a blue heron stands amidst the grass. To the right, a colorful male hooded merganser swims, its striking black-and-white head and chestnut sides standing out against the green backdrop of vegetation.

These are my coworkers today: snowy egret, blue heron and hooded merganser. Love the view from my apartment office window every day. It’s just a small man made canal but it’s filled with fish, birds, otters and such. #realflorida #birdnerd

A giant live oak tree hangs over a pool of emerald green spring water, surrounded by cabbage and saw palmettos.

Green Springs
The color comes from the high amounts of sulfur in the water.
