We're at the Myakka River State Park just on the outside boundaries of it. We're looking at ov...across dry prairie. Now this is one of the unique things about Florida. This is what most people never really see when they think about Florida. Everybody thinks about Mickey Mouse, and Disney world and all those commercial aspects of Florida, but this is a real Florida.
The dry prairies. Right there. To your right. Right there. Deer.
There's several deer. Hold still. It looks like they're coming out of the grass towards us. We might look up and get a great shot. This is a perfect example of where your angle of view...
...really makes the image a lot more dramatic. Reddish Egret. They have a unique style of hunting. Uh, they do what's called the drunken sailor dance where they will actually, once they see a fish, he'll start running through the water in an erratic pattern attempted to herd the fish until he can strike and catch one. Remember, share your photographs with others, and introduce a friend to the great outdoors.
