Been some crazy sunsets lately! These are from Sunday as I was driving through the Yakima area in Washington State.

Was solid orange in the direction of Mt. Adams and Rainier, and a nice orangish pink the opposite.

Florida day 10 - it was an overcast and rainy day. In the morning, I drove up through Miami and then down to Key Biscayne. I spent most of the day at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park just relaxing.

Today is my last full day in Florida, then it's back to the #pnw for a while. I'm going to miss the warmth, but landscapes like this are hard to beat.

Florida day 9 - I got an early start and drove down to Key Largo for a morning walk at the Dagny Johnson Botanical Park. I also visited the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park while on Key Largo. I then decided to head back north to the Everglades NP.

Florida day 8 - Today I drove over to the Biscayne NP visitor center and took the Heritage Boat Tour, a 3.5 hour tour detailing the history of the park. Biscayne NP is 95% water, so by boat is the only way to explore. The tour included a stop at Boca Chita Key.

I'm really enjoying Bluesky so far! My only gripe is I wish it allowed a few more characters per post and a short period to edit. Love all of the kind people and amazing photos though!

Florida day 7 - A perfect day. I explored the Southern Everglades and got some good hiking in along a few of the trails. I saw many variety of birds, including multiple with fish they caught.

Florida day 6 - Today was a travel day with a few stops and the end goal of reaching Florida City. I Started with a walk on the Marsh Trail at Ten Thousand Islands NWR. Got a good shot of a Great Egret with a catch and saw a few gators.

Florida day 5 - got an early start on the day and visited the CREW Bird Rookery Swamp Trails. With the early start, the morning wildlife was in abundance. I decided to hike the trails and a few miles in I came across a pair of gators sunning right on the path.

Florida day 3 - Drove across state to the western side. Spent the afternoon at the Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary immersing myself in nature. If you haven't figured it out yet, I didn't come to Florida for the beaches 🤣

I was startled by this otter as it climbed out of the water right in front of me today. It seemed as surprised to see me as I was it and quickly darted across the pathway. Mid run it decided to do a full body shake and roll in the grass before jumping back into the water. So cool!

Day 2 in Florida was another wonderful day of nature, birding and photography. Spent the morning at Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge and the afternoon at Peaceful Waters Sanctuary. Both had beautiful, well maintained trails and boardwalks.

Flew out to Florida last night for a much needed getaway and got some amazing birding in today. Spent most of the day at the Wakodahatchee Wetlands & Green Cay Nature Center & Wetlands, which were both amazing. Took so many photos!
