I lover he reflection I was getting off the lake last night of course the lake is overflowing usually there’s no big oak trees in the lake like it was last night.
@Chuckinflorida

Over looking Hurricane Gulch out of Cantwell Alaska If you’re planning to hop aboard a Gray Line Alaska rail tour between Wasilla Alaska and Denali National Park, prepare yourself to cross the jaw-dropping Hurricane Gulch Bridge, which rises 300 feet above Hurricane Creek. The bridge is a marvel of engineering.
@Chuckinflorida
The Beauty of natural reflections and the change in the color of the leaves as fall approaches beautiful lakes as the sunsets.
@Chuckinflorida
I was in Fairbanks Alaska a few weeks ago enjoying the native flowers of Alaska now I really don’t know what these are called but they caught my eye and I thought they were beautiful question is does anybody know what they are?
@Chuckinflorida
Just one of my resident tortoises I watch after where I work to keep the Cars and trucks from hitting them.
@Chuckinflorida
This is the Parks Hwy looking North towards Fairbanks #Alaska you have to love the #autumn colors that are showing up in the early part of September in Alaska. They called us to Parks Highway because #DenaliNationalPark entrance is right off the Highway and the views are unbelievable you can see on a good day highest mountain in North America formally known as #MountMcKinley I’ll call Denali.
@Chuckinflorida
This was a very interesting tour I went on and they showed how they survived the harsh arctic winters. Chena Indian Village Living Museum Be immersed in frontier living first hand with a guided walking tour of an Athabascan Indian village. You’ll see an Athabascan Indian village with cabins made of spruce logs, a cache used for storing supplies, a primitive spruce bark hut and fur pelts. Our guides will explain how the wolf, fox, martin and beaver were used to provide food…

Well my Brother brought little Bella over for a visit when it was time to go back home to see mama she got all excited about going home after having a little bit of hamburger from our dinner plate.
@Chuckinflorida
Last year’s adventure to the #KnikGlacier it was a amazing trip just to get to there. It started around 8 am loading up the ATV ‘s then the 30 minute drive to the parking lot at Jim’s creek Now this a great place to ride four wheelers jeeps big four-wheel-drive trucks ATVs all-terrain vehicles. Now to get to the glacier is like a 26 mile ride into the wilderness but it’s well worth it to see ice formations like this. Also here is our group that made it to the glacier that…

Looking at the knik Glacier off in the distance and I'm loving the autumn colors as we ride through the wilderness of Alaska on ATV’s
@Chuckinflorida
Sun setting in Everglades National Park this has to be one of my favorite place to catch a sunset when I used to live only 10 minutes away from the park entrance. Looking out over the sea of Sawgrass can produce some beautiful #sunrise and #sunsets. #Nationalparks
@Chuckinflorida
Well today was kind of a special day for my tortoises I had somebody bringing me some vegetable there was cauliflower there was a nice bunch of lettuce and three avocados and three or four bananas. I gave all three tortoises a avocado each I just went over to check to see if they ate them yet and this one was having a good old-time with the avocado 🥑
@Chuckinflorida
Update on my resident tortoise this morning it’s still enjoying the avocado I gave him yesterday or her and almost have eaten the whole thing.
@Chuckinflorida
The zebra longwing butterfly and the Gulf Fritillary Are the two most common butterflies I see here in North Central Florida both are beautiful and do a great service to our agriculture pollination.
@Chuckinflorida
Was out #kayaking this beautiful #lake this morning catching some Beautiful #reflections of the #Cypresstrees before it got to hot well it didn’t take long to get all sweaty in this humidity we have here in #Florida
@Chuckinflorida
Has I was kayaking this morning I was paddling my way through some of the cypress trees and I noticed this little guy in the crack of one of the trees.
@Chuckinflorida
I had to get a beautiful sunset tonight it’s been a week since I last took a good sunset photograph.
@Chuckinflorida
This was a few years ago when my photography club went on a field trip down to the Florida Keys to photograph the sunset around the Bahia Honda Key State Park. Information is from the parks website. Bahia Honda Key's deep natural bay has long been a harbor for passing sailors. The island's name, Spanish for "deep bay," began showing up on Spanish nautical charts hundreds of years ago. It’s also know for Henry Flagler Connecting his East Coast Railroad line from Miami to Key…

1933 Hupmobile-k-321/ Silver Anniversary Series K-321 Victoria When we were in Fairbanks Alaska we visit this museum there were so many beautiful cars there this one stood out to me maybe it was just the color it was beautiful.
@Chuckinflorida
This has to be one my favorite Springs to #Snorkel at during certain times of the year striped bass School up right in the spring head. #Swimming through them in such crystal clear water is just beautiful. #Fish
@Chuckinflorida
One of my favorite things to do especially early in the morning before it gets too hot here in Florida is go on a hike and I am always looking for a opportunity to photograph #Wildflowers this one stood out because it was all by itself.
@Chuckinflorida
One of my morning duties is going over to my Moms to take out her Pup Bella. My Mom is at a point in her life where it’s very difficult for her even to just to take out her Bella to do her business. Here Bella enjoying the warm sun after relieving herself 😂
@Chuckinflorida
One of my favorite things is photographing wildlife Here a beautiful Duck I photographed a while back at one of the local parks.
@Chuckinflorida
1930 Packard Series 745 Deluxe Eight This is such a amazing museum the curator said every single car in the museum is drivable. This is from the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum in Fairbanks Alaska. Packard sold 28,386 cars in 1930, down dramatically from 1929. The long-wheelbase 745 Models accounted for just 3,007 of those sales. They were available in 11 semi-custom and individual custom factory bodies.
@Chuckinflorida
As some of you might know I live in a area of Florida USA that has a lot of natural springs with crystal clear waters so in the winter time one of my favorite Creatures to see while out on my kayak are the manatees that come and visit the springs in the winter because of the constant 72°F water temperatures. This is one of my photographs I have taken while out on my kayak with my GoPro.
@Chuckinflorida
When I’m not working I go over my Moms to take her Dog Bella out for her morning and her afternoon restroom breaks 😂 yesterday she decided she wanted to taking the sun on the porch before she went back in.

Now it’s 3…
@Chuckinflorida
They say foggy morning make for a better photograph how about a better sunrise? I thought with the low layers of fog it made photographing Of the Sunrise Even cooler looking. #Sunrise #Foggy
@Chuckinflorida
There a place that I loved going to on my weekends In Everglades National Park where your chances of seeing these beautiful Barred Owls 🦉 was high at certain times of the year. #Wildlife #Nature #Nationalparks #Owls
@Chuckinflorida
The love of photographing owls is one of my favorite birds to capture this is a barred owl. I used to photograph these Barred quite often in Everglades National Park in South Florida since being in North Central Florida I’ve only seen one of these beautiful owls but I often hear them. #Nature #Birds #Wildlife #Owls #BirdPhotography
@Chuckinflorida
Callicarpa ampla, also called the Capa Rose, This a very interesting plant other than being a beautiful purple I find out it’s a endangered species a plant. Found in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean well guess what it’s apparently also found in Florida. #Nature #plants #endangered
@Chuckinflorida
Just right out cuteness one of my customers had her fur baby with her today and I had to give this baby a Little loving.

Sunsets in Everglades National Park this has to be my favorite place to photograph birds here I had a Great egret flying my way in the setting sun. #BirdsPhotography #Sunsets #Nature #NationalParks
@Chuckinflorida
This sweet Miss Piggy begging for more food even though there’s food in the bowl She went something else . She getting picky. 😂
@Chuckinflorida
This is one of my favorite places to go riding and with the fall colors just made it all the better. Actually this is also a place where Robert Christian Hansen one of Alaskas worst serial killer Known for killing 17 women would take his victims hunt them like animals. So for being such a beautiful place it also has a Ugly passed.
@Chuckinflorida
Back in Everglades National Park out on Pahayokee Road photographed this Barred Owl enjoying a Fish breakfast the question is how did the Owl catch a fish? #Birds #BirdPhotography #Nature #Wildlife #Owls
@Chuckinflorida

Was out enjoying the morning coolness and I photograph the morning dew on this flower 🌸 My garden is still producing lots of flowers to enjoy.
@Chuckinflorida
On our trip from Wasilla Alaska over to Valdez Alaska in the summer of 2019 The photograph is of Thompson pass it’s known for having more snowfall in a year than any other part of Alaska a average of 500+ inches a year. At 2600 feet it’s a gap through the Chugach Mountains northeast of Valdez, Alaska. If you get a chance to visit Valdez you see these Beautiful waterfalls and Beautiful mountains.
@Chuckinflorida
This was a interesting sunset there was a fire and the plane was dropping water and flying into the Beauty of the setting sun.
@Chuckinflorida
Just one of the beautiful waterfalls on the road to Valdez Alaska. This is BRIDAL VEIL Falls just a few hundred yards you will find Horsetail Falls all this Beautiful nature and scenery just a few miles outside a Valdez Alaska.
@Chuckinflorida
Just one of three gopher tortoises I have on the property where I work this guy was hungry and wanted my carrots
@Chuckinflorida
Taken out while kayaking the Silver River and the beautiful wildflowers that grow along the Banks.
@Chuckinflorida
Nelumbo nucifera 'Perry's Giant Sunburst' flower I believe this is what this flower is. I saw this on my way home from work one day though I stop to take a few photographs.
@Chuckinflorida
There’s a couple things that you hope to see while Kayaking and Silver River that is Manatees and the wild monkeys they have been living there for the past 80+ year's. The rhesus monkey can be so fun and adorable to watch specially when they have the babies.
@Chuckinflorida
This was last night just before heading home from work Fridays are my longest day at work a 12 hour Shift so I am there for the sunrise and the sunset First Photograph is my sunrise and the second is the sunset. Have a blessed weekend I'm off to work.
@Chuckinflorida
Now this is an interesting story it’s been back a few years when I first receive my canon T3 I this is like the second day I had it and on my way to work just a few minutes away, I ran into this alligator laying in the road. Have the new Camera I had to get some photos the funny thing is the alligator got stuck for about 5 or 6 minutes under the guard rail and end up tearing a big chunk out of its tail.
@Chuckinflorida

Well after work when I got home my brother went over and got my mom‘s dog Bella took her out and walked her then brought her inside to say hello. Sometimes She crosses her legs every time I see this I get a little laugh.
@Chuckinflorida
Well, yesterday as I was traveling home from work I noticed all these wildflowers on the side of the road I wanted to pull over but I had too many cars behind me at the time. Heading to work this I said to myself oh yes them Wildflowers so this time there's nobody behind me at all so I had to pull over Photograph their Beauty.
@Chuckinflorida
I was enjoying watching this Eastern Phoebe doing some acrobatic moves catching insects. Flying insects make up the majority of the Eastern Phoebe’s diet. Common prey include wasps, beetles, dragonflies, butterflies and moths, flies, midges, and cicadas; they also eat spiders, ticks, and millipedes, as well as occasional small fruits or seeds.
@Chuckinflorida

Now who doesn’t like bears not hugging one not getting too close to be eaten but photographing them at a safe distance while on my trip to Alaska from Florida back in 2017 I had a few encounters with black bears and two encounters with grizzly bears 🐻 The first photograph I consider the best bear photo I captured and of course I have it as my avata. photographed in the Yukon Canada
@Chuckinflorida
I know of at least 3 tortoises that live at my place of work they are sort of like my pets because I do watch after them. As you can see in this photograph I work at a place were the local people that don’t have garbage pick up so I’m constantly having cars coming in and trucks to dump off their garbage. So that being said I’m constantly taken them out of the road to keep them safe when cars come in I’ve had a few almost get run over because unfortunately people don’t pay…
@Chuckinflorida
On this day I drove 200+ miles north to visit Denali National Park after hanging out in the park for a few hours I headed back south to Wasilla Alaska. On my way back there was Such a beautiful sunset going on I had to pull off next to the lake to get the reflections
@Chuckinflorida
On my day off I do like to get out in the Forest and shoot birds with my camera of course 😊 on this morning I shot that’s beautiful cardinal sitting on the fence pole. #birds

@Chuckinflorida
Back a few years I was told that bald eagles congregate around the landfill here in Marion County, Florida. So, of course, that perked my interest. I love photographing birds, and I heard this was a perfect place to catch a few good photographs of these beautiful birds. What I didn’t realize was bald eagles are scavengers; unfortunately, they found two Eagles one had died, and the other was sick from poisoning. The one made a full recovery and set free back into the wild.
@Chuckinflorida
There is a time every once in a while I get a bug to take a little ride over to the East Coast of Florida. Of course, the primary purpose of this ride is to catch the sunrise over at Daytona Beach, Florida usually takes me about an hour and a half to two hours to get there from my home, So usually I have to leave around 3:30 or 4 a.m. Then there is the waiting birds like this snowy white egret chasing small fish
@Chuckinflorida
This morning I brought my camera to work, hoping to capture a photograph of that bluebird. Without any luck, I focus my attention on these beautiful little birds. Palm warbler, so I was chasing these birds around. I believe this was the best photo I’ve shot today of this little cute palm warbler.
@Chuckinflorida
Now, this Was an experience I will never forget. I traveled into Everglades National Park on my day off and drove the 38 miles down to the very end to flamingo. This is where you also can view and see salt Water American crocodiles. It was a beautiful morning sun hadn't come up quite yet but I was seeing quite a few birds flying in to this one area called echo pond and to my Pleasant surprise there were hundreds the birds congregating to feed in one photograph I counted over…
@Chuckinflorida
