Roseate Spoonbill
I was able to take this shot near one of the borrow pit ponds on Kings Highway.
Camera Setup:
Sony RX10 MIV, 1/1000 sec, F5.6, ISO 100, 390mm
Not from Florida but he got here as quick as he could via Long Island, Massachusetts, and Colorado. Retired in 1999 from the tech sector for a few years to RV fulltime then permanently retired in 2017.
As an amateur photographer with limited funds and an appreciation for nature and art, George currently shoots a Sony RX10 – IV.
Having a 10-minute attention span, he pursues many different distractions including, but not limited to, fishing, occasionally creating things, learning to train small trees as Bonsai, bareboat sailing, traveling and taking pictures.
On this journey called life, George served his country, spending more than a year under the sea while traveling the depths as far down as 1000 feet. As a younger man, he studied martial arts for more than 10 years.
Most recently, he completed Advanced Free Fall training and jumped from an airplane at altitudes up to 13000 feet.
