Central Florida Nature Photography Slideshow: Morris Bridge, Flatwoods, Trout Creek, Lettuce Lake Photos

I’ve been shooting some nature photos interspersed within and between my mountain biking adventures. It has been nice to get away from the routine and to spend some time wandering around in the woods. The mountain bike trails are out in the Hillsborough County Park System of Morris Bridge, Flatwoods, and Trout Creek.

The trails border on the cypress swamps. The main obstacles are roots, spiders, roots, and the occasional alligator, as I mentioned yesterday.

Check out the sweet pentagonal lens flare from my fisheye lens!

Lettuce Lake park has a tower where you can check out the view from above.

I don’t have a big enough lens to take serious close up nature photos of birds and critters from a distance. Fortunately these white ibis were pretty tame. The funny part about these birds is that their neck muscles are a primary means of propulsion. When they want to walk faster they start bobbing their heads forward more furiously to speed up!
