The weather cooled and
the humidity dropped just in time for our once a month photography hike at
Brooker Creek Preserve in Tarpon Springs, FL. The hike starts at 8:30 with a
brief presentation introducing us, talking about the time of year and what we
might see, then a quick refresher of photography basics. We hike until 10:15 or
10:30, depending on the group, what we see to photograph, and conversation. Frequently during the hike Karl or I will stop
the group and talk about photography or the local nature or both.
Recently I found a
tree with a lot of lichen, especially British Soldiers (Cladonia cristatella). I had some fun
with macro trying to form a “landscape”.

The autumn wildflowers come and go
this time of year, and we can never tell what wildlife may show up. One recent early
morning hike we spotted this hawk on the top of a snag just over the bridge.
After several minutes, he condescended to look over his shoulder so I could
take a shot of something other than his (very beautiful) back feathers.
