After two weeks.. I'm back!

After two weeks of posting nothing on this blog, I'm back.

We took a few days to visit the Florida Panhandle. Unfortunately, there was a cold front passing through, and there were not many photo opportunities during that time. Except…

The amazing opportunity of taking pictures of a couple of Bald Eagles playing around while flying.

 It's always an immense pleasure photographing these birds.  

We took our grandsons to visit the Florida Caverns, located in the small town of Marianna.

 A very colorful place that I recommend anyone staying in that area of Florida. 

After coming back from this short vacation, and now in 2026, I visited my favorite spot for wildlife spotting and photographing: Crews Lake Wilderness Park. I never leave that place empty-handed.

During the last two weeks of 2025, I found a family of spoonbills there, and they were still present during the last weekend.

 Flamingos are not seen that often in Central Florida, but Spoonbills can be found around, specially during the winter migration. 

In about two weeks, the 2026 USA Sport Karate Season starts, and I have been checking my Canon 5D Mark III to use it more often in my photoshoots. I received as a Christmas Gift from my daughter a Double Shoulder Camera Strap Harness, and I'm planning to put it to work in this new season. The Canon R6 will be armed with the 70-200 f2.8 and the 5D Mark III with the 28-80 L lens. In this way I'll have a huge range from 28 to 200 mm. More than enough for this kind of event. 

As you can see, the planing starts long before the season begins.  

You can check pictures of the past season in this Instagram reel.
