Madman Loc: Gulf Coast, Florida USA

Friday morning my brother and I made our visit to the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive.

This 'drive' is just that - a roadway through the land around the north side of Lake Apopka which is the fourth largest lake in the state of Florida and provides water to that region of the state. There are foot paths also, but we did not have the time to explore those.

Glad that you liked my glossy. It's amazing the range of colors that their feathers can create.

Thank you so much Sylvia. Glad that you enjoyed my glossy ibis. It's all about the angle of the bird in relation to the sun, other shots of the same bird appear just drab grey. Obviously, I picked the most colorful even though the pose wasn't the most interesting.

Thank you very much Angela. You are allowed to love the osprey AND the ibis! As I mentioned to Sylvia, it's all about the angle to get the color.

I appreciate your looking in and commenting.
