My kitty never has to look at me to let me know she’s listening. :) I looooove this phone 💗 Sooo glad to be back on a creative platform...

Love the pet store!!!

For once in my life I actually got up at 5:30 in the morning to attempt to catch the sunrise. the pale sky and the barely pink horizon that hid the tall hotels down the beach was totally worth waking up for. I was not the only early...

A corner of  the PCB wildlife area showcased some pretty stunning...

The Bellagio has a small parrot aviary within a stunning flower display. Even the parrots’ toys were...

You’ve all met Missy before. She’s the cuddliest one of my cats. Also, as evidenced by the photos, playing with her means you get cat hair all over your floors. It’s totally worth the sweep job though.  My red & brown shag rug is her favorite thing in my living room. Isn’t she...

I had some fun shooting Manny this weekend. He’s head honcho at my parents’ house and he knows it. I can’t believe he’s so big. Here’s my little baby just two years ago. Small enough to fit in one hand. He was so small. Here he is hugging his mommy. And a little while later, when...

  Seagull in flight. I processed this into black and white using a very strong red...

He’s kinda creepy when he has these slit eyes in the sunlight. He’s a big soft teddy bear in...

   Sometimes I look back at my photos from a few years ago and marvel at what I was able to accomplish despite my limited tools. This daddy long legs macro was taken using a 4.1 megapixel hewlett packard point and shoot.  It had a 1 inch screen. Yeah, check out this beast: I...

The nearly clear legs of this spider accent the background so well! By the way, I pretty much hate spiders and had to take this from pretty far away....

Nothing is camouflaged as well when converted to black and...

I don’t really do the christmas sweater thing but that doesn’t mean my animals can’t fall victim. This has crappy lighting… and I may take another one later, and replace this photo.  But yeah, I put my cat in a Christmas sweater. It made her walk funny but she didn’t seem upset. I...

yeah I know, I’m amazing at post titles. Same locale as previous parrot. Man, if national geographic paid me $10/hr I would still go work for their photography department. :] Ah...

Taken at Lion Country Safari in West Palm Beach, FL. I love macaws just because they’re such good...

Our little friend from yesterday, all curled up. I accidentally got this shot by firing the flash on accident behind the crab as it sat in my hand, casting a soft skin colored light in front of it. You can see the flash clipped bar at the top but I kinda liked...

Found this little guy on Islamorada in the keys.  He was barely the size of one segment of my finger but not very scared and awfully rambunctious. The Florida keys are pretty....

When the seasons turn these little guys have to start coming out into the sun to heat their little bodies. They have stunning emerald green skin which they can change at will to the dark and dusty brown you see below. His eyes give away his true color though. They’re also not very scared...

Already featured on facebook, this little kitty is my amazing little poser. :) I feel like I need to go take photos for fun again, and get creative once more. I’m falling into producing “good” photos, something anyone with a bit of time and a good camera can do. I want to produce great...

Something about the giraffe makes it appear to always be pondering something deep. It’s probably just thinking about what it can reach next that those stupid short animals can never...

This was right before she found a boyfriend and came home a pregnant teen mom.  Kitty...

The sun was low on the horizon and gave these cranes a yellow glow as they flew...

The Naples zoo had some poison dart frogs. This one managed to grab ahold of the slick surfaces of the containment chamber he was in. I attempted to do something of a painterly look with this without destroying the photo...

I honestly would not be able to tell the difference between this frog and some lichen on a tree. Animal mimicry is awesome. Taken at the Naples...

My dad’s tank is always full of babies. It’s an underwater nursery. These babies are smaller than a quarter of a...

Pro tip: Go to the zoo earlier in the morning because that’s when all the animals are awake and doing stuff. They all look like this after noon....

So… when you’re a boy cat and your owner doesn’t care when she finds a cheap shirt at the pet store, this is what happens. He kept it on for all of five minutes which is as long as any of my cats will indulge me. Still, just long enough to make a cute memory of the spoiled...

Another poisonous frog from countries far south looks...

I love cuttlefish. They’re intelligent, curious and can change color at a moment’s notice. This is a beautiful, near perfect specimen from the Ripley’s Aquarium in Tennessee. They have this beautiful zebra pattern when they’re relaxed and comfortable but turn a dark dirt brown as soon...

It’s hard to take a picture of someone who’s always turning their back to you.  The good part is that his back is as interesting as his front. Taken at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. His skin so...

My cousin’s dog, Rex. He’s getting on in years but has only sweetened with age. What a special doggie....
