Macaws are a long-lived species of colorful parrots. Sarasota Jungle Gardens is one of Florida's few remaining roadside attraction. It's been open since 1939. A bit on the tacky side, but really a lot of fun. Most places that have flamingos warn you as to how timid they are.

Lots of fun to visit for kids and folks who want unobstructed views of brightly colored birds. Many of the parrots participate in daily shows. The watemark will not appear on any product.

I love to tell stories. About twenty years ago I had my first freelance travel article accepted by a magazine. Much to my surprise, the magazine expected photos along with words.

The article was published with those very amateur photos. In time, I bought an Olympus OMD-EM5, a great camera for nature and travel photographers and discovered that I enjoyed telling stories with pictures more than I did with words. The last twenty year have been an incredibly exciting time as resources for photographers have exploded. I have been lucky enough to have some great teachers along the way...
