When ever I see a butterfly, I have to follow it and take pictures. The erratic way they flutter about, their beauty, variety of shapes and colors. The perfect subject for photography.
The Red Admiral butterfly is found everywhere in the world. The only place they do not do well is were the winters are especially cold. I find them fascinating because one side is these beautiful colors, the other perfectly matches the pine trees. Follow one and they disappear like Houdini.
The top Photograph is of the Red Admiral Butterfly perfectly camouflaged on a pine at Lake Seminole park. The bottom photograph is just seconds before he decided to hide from lens…

The Sunshine Skyway bridge is one of favorite places to visit wildlife, mostly Birds and Dolphins. The birds are most active Sunrise and Sunset. The Dolphins mostly Sunset, and you have to be lucky to see them.
On this particular morning, I was hanging out south of the bridge in the rest area. I noticed a Yellow Crowned Night Heron fishing near shore between the rocks. I sat intently as he waited for breakfast, a crab crawling his direction. He nabbed him in a flash and took off for shore. The show continued as he wrestled with the crab attempting to crack his shell. Occasionally, The crab would pinch the heron and break free for a second and the bird would reposition him in his mouth. Finally with a loud crunch, the bird swallowed him whole.
My favorite shot is the top photo. I placed the sequence of events photographs in a panorama below.
