A Little Education

Black Bear taken minutes from downtown Daytona Beach.
When most people think of  Florida, they think of a talking mouse, or a killer whale jumping out of the water while a crowd cheers. They think of beaches, NASCAR, Bike Week, and retired people. While Florida is home to all these things, it is home to so much more. I had an idea yesterday to start this blog, a place where people can come see the real Florida, the beautiful Florida, the Florida that I love. The idea hit me when I was out on my hunting lease yesterday. I saw a very large bear near the camp area. That's right, "Bear". Most people don't even know it, but Florida is full of bears, at least my part is. Within minutes of downtown Daytona, there are a lot of bears. You very rarely see them, but I have taken many pictures of them with my trail camera.

 I love to hunt and fish, and I love photography. It's only natural that one day, my interest would meld together. I will be bringing you images of the real Florida, images you only see if you get off the beaten path.

  2. I love the gator picture you took - intimidating, yet absolutely beautiful.
