Photography bliss

I am so excited! This is what I look forward to photographying in a couple of weeks at Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, with a local photography group.

It's a Roseate Spoonbill! :)

If I didn't make the deadline to go with them, then I will go solo. This is certainly a plan in the works.

So What Can We Expect To See?

Ding Darling attracts a wide variety of birds every year, herons, egrets, ibis, white pelicans, roseate spoonbills, plovers, stilts, limpkins, hawks and osprey. They also get the occasional burrowing owl as well.

The refuge also gets it's fair share animals, raccoons, otters, bobcats and alligators. On the bay side you might even catch site of some dolphins playing around.

Don't forget the sunsets.

What Else Is There To Do While We're There?

For one thing, Sanibel Island is well known for it's shelling. There?s also a park concessioner that offers boating trips around the bay and at sunset, also canoeing and kayaking. The beach on Captiva Island at the North end of Sanibel is a great place relax. There's also plenty of great places to eat on and off island too.

Bring your sense of adventure. (Yes!)

I have my writer’s group tonight. I am excited about that too! :)

Today, I:

• rise with aplomb.
• am the heroine in my life.
• take charge of how I choose to think, act and feel.
• take charge of what I put into and on my body.
• am at the cusp of creating largeness.

This is something Sandra Bullock said that I found noteworthy:

"I've learned that success comes in a very prickly package. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you. It's what you choose to do with it, the people you choose to surround yourself with. Always choose people that are better than you. Always choose people that challenge you and are smarter than you. Always be the student. Once you find yourself to be the teacher, you've lost it."
