Welcome to my photo site and the views of North Central Florida's Wildlife!
I write a Trail Report and gather the latest photos to illustrate what's happening in the area. I shoot within 100 miles of the Silver Springs, Ocala Forest and Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park.
You can join the mailing list to receive the Trail Report and Latest Photos and be assured you will not be solicited and your email address will never be given to anyone ~ just send me an email at FloridaPhotos@cox.net.
I 've been a volunteer at Payes Prairie for seven years. I'm known as a "person that meets visitors, photographs the wildlife, and talks about the things you can see at the park."
I can setup a personal tour for groups and individuals that don't have the time to invest to learn to location and timing to see the animals. Many people visiting the area for a day or two find this a great way to enhance the experience and increase the number and diversity of the visit. Let's talk about your trip.
The site offers the Latest Additions for the most recent photos and the Trail Report which offers the present activity.
The photos move to The Pictures which are wildlife category folders after a week or two. The Gallery called Favorites is a folder that contains those photos that viewers have chosen ... or I decide to put them there because of the reponse or just because they are my favorites!
The area is know for the Alligators and the Gator Sports Teams. The Gators and other Reptiles is a very popular offering and a prime topic for the visitors.
The Prairie has American Bison herds and Wild Spanish Horses. The bison was naitive to Florida until the late 1880's. Never in the numbers of the plains bison but here in edible quanities to feed the Native people and everyone that came to the table.
The herd of Wild Spanish Horses are traceble to the original horses brought here by the Spanish Soldiers in the mid 1500's. The bison and wild horses often walk down the trails of the prairie to the delight of the visitors.
Enjoy the photos and, by the way, everthing can be ordered and delivered to your home or office as a finished or unmounted print, in a few days.
As always, If a question arises ~ Please give an email or a call to help!
