I should be ashamed of my lack of plant knowledge....I do not know the name of this plant but it is common to Florida...it has a strong honey smell to it.

Turkey Creek Note the cut palms, these were cut to keep the Creek clear for canoers and kayakers, probably from the Hurricanes that came through a couple of years ago.

A Black and white Warbler, these little birds are extremely active...most of my shots ended up as blurs.

Another Baltimore Oriole shot, this one is more representative of its true color...such a hot orange is delightful to the eye.

Driving along on Merritt Island and on the side of the road I saw....Flowers! So I found a place to park and took some pictures. Very low growing and small.

[Gi_Venus]

I did not realize how beautiful they were until I saw them close up.
Unknown species...may be an exotic...or a native...I do not know.

these flowers are common to ditches and swamps in Florida, I believe they are in the hibiscus family

Hi everyone, this thread is to display some of the photography that I do, a little bit of my old art work and if any wish to contribute to it's visual appeal please do.
The first was previously posted at the vibe but is a nice beginning. Sunrise over the Indian River Lagoon

Looks like Titusville.
