Around Melbourne, Erna Nixon Park, Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands and more. Lots and lots of bird… and some alligators and turtoises and trees. In Erna Nixon Park I saw a glimpse of an armadillo – just briefly and I was so excited that I forgot to take a picture…
Started day four in Sawgrass Recreation park, Everglades…
What shall I say? Lots of water. Lots of reed.
Further north to Lake Okeechobe and heading to Melbourne
Slowly gowing up towards Homestead and Fort Lauderdale. Mangroves, mangrove cuckoo, pelican, lots of other animals like lizards and butterflies and at sunset beautiful skies filled with clouds
Next morning we were welcomed by this Key deer (Odocoileus virginianus clavium) walking through our garden. A miniature deer, but what beautiful eyes!
These colors of the mangroves!

“Shall we postpone?” she asked. “The weather forecast is bad. A lot of rain.”
“Let’s just try,” I replied. “It will be dry between showers. And actually I think portraits in the rain are quite special. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll decide on the spot to go again another day.”
We did take some great portrait photos in the sun and in the shade. Then the rain came. And yes, of all these pictures, the ones in the rain are definetely my favorites!
April 2024
It’s too much!
It´s been a while since I’ve been there, but I just have to share some more pictures of this beautiful, intriguing island in the Indian ocean.
First part was in the south. Tulear with fishermen, water taxis and birds like the beautiful tropicbird.
Then up to Antsokay an Anakao with birds lik the olive bee-eater and magpie-robin.
Further to the Mangily spiny forest, and from there to Zombitse
