With a length of 26 inches and a weight of 2.4 pounds, they look like giant waders, but five times the size of a Willet, for example. |  ND3_24046 Juvenile Roseate Spoonbill The juvenile Spoonbill still has a feathered head. In another year, it will have the same featherless head as its parents. This was shot just before sunset. The late afternoon sun has cast the shodow of its bill halfway down its back. |  RX1_02029 |

 ND2_38038 |  Great Blue Heron Ardea herodias Great Blue Heron posing for profile shot. Notice how the feathers are swept to the camera-side shoulder.

 ND3_12842 |  Foggy Evening A flock of Willetts gather at the shore. |  ND2_33441 The picture is of Ralston. The Tradewinds is a nice posh hotel on the Gulf near our place. I was hanging around the deck on the ocean side, waiting for the sunset when Ralston approached and reminded me that if I needed anything, he would be at my service. We had a conversation and he told me a little bit about himself. Remembering that I had a camera, I asked him for a shot. The warm sunset light is what appealed to me when I positioned him, and the colour version is full of warmth, but somehow this black and white version is more about him. He said that someone older had told him there was a cereal named Ralston. He said he was too young and didn't remember that, but he thought I might. Sadly, no. But I did Google it when I got home, and it still exists. |  ND3_11957 |  |

 |  Our Cruise Ship |  Ship's Photographers |  Sunshine Skyway As we passed under the Skyway, there was just enough light left to catch this picture. As the ship went under the bridge, a long blast of the horn was sounded. Those of us on the foredeck were certain that the stacks of the ship would be torn away by the bridge. It caused quite a stir. |  |
 ND2_27499 |  DSC_22476 |  Marshall |  |  Long Course Swim One of the swimmers in the K-Town Triathlon Long Course. You can tell from the calm water that he is in the lead. I like this shot. I like the reflection in the calmer water and the bow-wave as he breaks, and the trough created in the small of his back. More shots from that day can be seen at K-Town Triathlon 2013. |
 ND3_3187 Odise has the deli near us. We go there for the gorgeous, way-better-than-supermarket, fresh vegetables. When people come over, we serve the smoked fish dip, made from locally caught mullet. The tabouleh and hummus are also regular purchases. |  DSC_22367 |  ND3_2991 |  ND3_2611 |  DSC_22166 |
 ND3_0438 Brown Pelican |  ND2_30531 The Post Card Inn is a focus point for volleyball players and the young-at-heart, possible because it one of the bars that has accessible parking. It's also the point where people in our neighbourhood enter the beach to watch the sunset or go for a walk. |  ND3_1854 |  Saturday Evening Sunset |  ND2_30482 Nicholas, the young male at the Clearwater Aquarium.

 |  ND2_29792 |  Pier at Fort De Soto |  ND3_0380 |  Upham Beach Photographers of all sorts come to the beach near me. There are, of course the many who come to the beach to watch and photograph the sunset. But there are also catalog shoots, wedding shoots, calendar shoots and glamour shoots. Here, I caught a shoot in progress. A shot of a shoot. |
