Tampa Skyline

You can see the reflections of the Tampa Skyline in the river.  From a distance such a good feeling, but isn't that true about all human activity.

Chestnut Park

There is always wildlife along the shoreline at Chestnut Park, but I am always amazed how few photographers I see in the park area.  If you just want to sit at a picnic table and look on to the small rivers running throughout the park, then this is the place to come.  Come during the week, the weekends can be a little crowded.

When I approach animals they normally consider me harmless, and go about their business.  This is also true with alligators, normally they just ignore me, and I can really get some great shots, but in this case some people were coming up the side of the lake, and he wanted them to know this is his territory.  Now who is going to argue with him, not me.

You can see the small bridge in the distance that crosses over to the Tarpon Lake picnic area and lake boardwalk.

When I shoot this spot, which is about every week, it always reminds me of those of you who work inside.  How you must all hate me (:>).

A wide angle shot of Tarpon Lake.  Humans always disturb everything, even the water.  You can see the wake of a boat that passed some time ago.
