These pictures were taken in Vero Beach, Florida at an 18 acre botanical garden preserved by the Indian River Land Trust when development threatened the property. It's now on the National Register of Historic Places and well worth a visit.

A frenzy of fish

It's Scubaliz's birthday, so I posted this in honor of all her wonderful underwater shots.

Raccoons in the garden

Late one night in July I heard loud squeaking and laughing and I looked out to find a mother and five baby raccoons attacking my birdfeeders. It was so dark I could barely see the raccoons so I took these photos by aiming the camera in the direction of the noise and hoping the infrared focus could see them (which it did some of the time).

Chickadee Family in Gourd

The red gourd was swinging back and forth slightly even though there was no breeze. The eggs had hatched! The chickadee parents were taking turns delivering food to the babies. There was only room for one parent in the gourd at a time, so while one was feeding, the other, with food in beak, would watch the surroundings while waiting.
