"Wet and Woolly"

Once in a blue moon you find yourself asking, "Is this really happening"? The photo you see was certainly one of those times. When you experience something so raw, so wild, so woolly...I dare say it can change your life. Why? Because it opens your mind to what your missing-lost in the concrete jungle. Have you ever seen a bear swimming across alligator infested waters? We hadn't and as we sat shaking as she crashed through the forest...I thanked God, I praised God. I almost cried...WHY? Because God's creatures are awesome. Wild, untamed, and just downright amazing. While the photo is not the best technically, the subject matter is-in my opinion stunning. I approached her carefully, and stayed back to avoid trouble for all involved, mainly her. I shot in auto...with no time to think about f-stops, flash, etc. She exited the water, looked back at us and disappeared into the dark swamplands.

Chills up my spine

Within the woods of Florida there are many wonderful things...and some, not so much. There are things that dwell within the wild and woolly woodlands that most folks dont wanna talk about. They are secretive, silent, and stay hidden for the most part. They send chills up the spine, make the hair stand up on your neck, "Make you run into trees"-Richard Pryor, pee your pants-(I've heard) and even defy gravity. So next time you find yourself up to your neck in water, brush, or grass...just tell yourself; "It'll be OK, there's not one in here." ©

"Please God, PLEASE...Please-Jesus, don't let there be one in here."
