I love seeing Bald Eagles. I don’t see a whole lot Of them. Of course there is always something that pops up specially when you have a elderly mom so my hiking is going to be delayed for a few hours right now I'm researching some locations to go hiking hopefully later this afternoon I’ll be able to go. #Blackandwhite #Birdoftheday is this Beautiful bald eagle soaring high in the sky.

Last fall in Alaska on our ATV outing we had to Journey through this one area called Wolf Canyon and sometimes you get the opportunity see Dell Sheep up on the cliff it’s so amazing that they can maneuver on these cliffs like they are flat land. #wildlife
@Chuckinflorida
I had Plans of driving out to Lake George to Pine Island Campground with my research showing that others had captured some beautiful sunsets there. But that was a 50 mile drive so I thought I’d try the boat ramp at Mills Dam and it turned out to be a good spot. #originalcontent #Sunsets
@Chuckinflorida
finally all four my kitties showed up at one time because we were nice and quiet and then all the vehicles started coming in again getting rid of the garbage and they’all bug out of here. Miss Piggy Sitting at my feet trying to get me to Pet her.
@Chuckinflorida
Another sunset photograph from last night at Mill Dam Lake as I was waiting for the sun to set and I had this little blue heron come over and start Fishing right In front of me.
@Chuckinflorida
Happy #Caturday I had the whole crew here again prior to heading home from work. Here Miss Piggy she decided to sit next to me I just happen to this Arctic snow owl sitting there in the chair with her. At she didn’t know what to think of the thing then she laid down and posed for a photograph.
@Chuckinflorida
Catching bluebirds this morning I have a bird nesting box and they were right above the box I'm hoping that they decide to move in I had the vacancy sign flashing and free rent for the first nesting season. 😆 That would be so cool to see them raise a family.
@Chuckinflorida
I could use a sunrise beach day every once in a while. I’ll take my brother over to the beach where he can metal detect while I catch a Sunrise. It's a moment I enjoy catching the fresh smell of the sea. photograph in Daytona Beach last April.
@Chuckinflorida
Sitting here at work letting my imagination run wild, tell me, what do you see? Sometimes clouds become fascinating, like this one running away with the wind.
@Chuckinflorida
Good Morning. So it is #RedMonday, so going through my gallery photographs, I found this one of a Red Cardinal bringing home a gift to his wife. Now, who wouldn’t love for their soulmate to give them such a delicious snack? Enjoy your Day on this #Rainbowcolorchallenge
@Chuckinflorida
These Palm warblers are something they awesome insects catchers and are very brave these little birds they are constantly walking around at my feet as I’m sitting here in the shade even had one landed on my water bottle. I'm still trying get one to eat out of my hand.
@Chuckinflorida
I'm having one of them morning. I was thinking I have a warranty coverage on my car I bought a used car and had a 60,000 miles or 60 month warranty. Bought the car with 30,000 miles on the car well guess what The warranty had expired 2000 miles ago. What I thought was the # Warranty would be good for 60,000 miles from the time I bought it Nope. Be careful they will rip you off if you don’t pay attention to The fine print before buy a Warranty. 2 hours and still waiting
@Chuckinflorida
Mushrooms are are very fascinating they can either give nourishment to your body or poison you and kill you. I was noticing these mushrooms on one of my hikes while on my vacation in Alaska. I would love to take a class on how to identify good mushrooms over poisonous ones how about you do you know the difference between good eating and poisonous ones? not 100% sure but I think these look kind of orange to me so being #OrangeTuesday in the #Rainbowcolorchallenge
@Chuckinflorida
I was out walking around my home and was surprised to see these beautiful lilies I believe that my Brother planted a week ago. They some the Wildflowers I planted by seed including my Mammoth sunflowers that supposed to grow up to 12 feet tall.
@Chuckinflorida
Just made it home from a little hike out to Lake Eden seeing what the possibilities are for a good sunset at this location. I will try to make it back here around Sunset to see what nature can give me.
@Chuckinflorida
I just made it home from fixing my car so headed over to get Miss Bella Out of bed and take her out to uses the restroom lol. Now she is chilling and waiting patiently for breakfast.
@Chuckinflorida
This was last week when I caught Miss Osprey waiting for the Mr. to bring some fish back to the nest. Ospreys are also known as the fishing hawk because most of their food they eat a fish.
@Chuckinflorida
Gazing at these beautiful creatures known as the manatee going along the bottom of the silver River feeding on the river grass is my #GreenThursday in the #Rainbowcolorchallenge This last year was a bad year for these Beautiful creatures to many die do to starvation and the loss of there food source seagrass.
@Chuckinflorida

@Chuckinflorida
Happy #Caturday well, yesterday was my 12-hour shift at work from 7 am to 7 pm, and my 4 Cats are with me for the first hour in the morning. Then they disappear from most of the day, then usually the last two hours on a long day when traffic slows down, they come back and hang out with me. Here’s Fluffy chilling underneath the table, and Miss Piggy came to me and jumped up onto my lap, which doesn’t happen very often.
@Chuckinflorida
Well this morning is starting off with an interesting forecast we’re under a tornado watch strong winds lightning and thunder I wish I could let you hear the sounds of the lightning and thunder it is booming and it's frightening glad I have this little shed to stay in. lol but I won’t do much help with a tornado.
@Chuckinflorida

@Chuckinflorida
Wow it's my Birthday today and I got was this ugly blue cup to drink my coffee out of lol. Off to work I go please pray that I have a nice crowd of customers.
@Chuckinflorida
Today is a special day It's my birthday but it’s the day I can get a lifelong pass to our National Parks Once you hit that magical number of 62 years old you buy a pass to get you into all The national parks in the United States instead of paying $20 each time you visit one. This includes free entry to anyone that’s with you. And I'm looking forward to visiting as many national parks as I can before I drop dead lol. 4 photographs are the national parks I’ve visited on my way…
@Chuckinflorida
It’s been quite a busy day here at work did manage to get off a couple photographs first ones of Mockingbird the second one was a Red bellied woodpecker I was actually getting the woodpecker to knock on the telephone pole when I played a recording of him doing it back.
@Chuckinflorida
Good Morning back at work. I do like Mondays because they’re slower than the other days I work. It allows me to chase a few birds this morning, chasing the bluebirds and the woodpecker. I believe the woodpecker is the same one I photographed yesterday.
@Chuckinflorida
Halftale enjoying a Afternoon cat nap I was seriously thinking about joining him he looks so comfy. What a life to be able to sleep your afternoons away.
@Chuckinflorida
This is the first flower in my garden. I planted by seed at my work Garden to open up and say hello, and I noticed that a few other plants also just started getting buds on them. I believe we are done for this year with frost in freezing temperatures so yesterday I planted some more sunflower plants before I’m finish hoping to have nice big bunch of wildflowers growing everywhere.
@Chuckinflorida
On this rainy day here in North Central Florida and it is #OrangeTuesday in the #Rainbowcolorchallenge. I found this mushroom in my archived photographs I believe this was in Alaska that I seen this mushroom 🍄 My apologies I posted this in the wrong place.
@Chuckinflorida

@Chuckinflorida
This morning I have to make a small road trip to the airport to pick up my sister, that's been flying from Anchorage, Alaska, visiting my mom for a few weeks. She is thrilled to have someone with her to help her. So I will be driving to Gainesville, Florida, to pick her up. She’s taking me out for breakfast for my birthday, which was last Sunday. And maybe next week we can visit one of the springs like last time she was here.
@Chuckinflorida
Have a blessed day off to pick my sister up at the airport soon. Enjoying a Cup of coffee before heading to the airport.
@Chuckinflorida

@Chuckinflorida
A little excitement at my transfer station here where I work have a fire raging inside the garbage box. just remember all for safety do not put rechargeable batteries in your garbage this is what happens when you do it causes fires and can burned down your house.
@Chuckinflorida
Today I met Isabella what a beautiful sweet puppy and this was her very first ride to The convenience center with her mommy to get rid of the garbage. I tried to get to stay with me but her Mom said No way.
@Chuckinflorida
Looking down the road to see if I can see the osprey nest and sure enough I can see her sitting on her nest. Soon there should be babies I didn’t want to get too close because I didn’t want to get her upset.
@Chuckinflorida
Well, here we are again, the day to celebrate our cats. Happy #Caturday I worry about my cats here at my workplace. As I came in this morning, I noticed Fuffy and Littlegray coming out of the forest. I have told them repeatedly that the bogeyman lives out there in the woods. Since working here, I have lost two cats to that bogeyman, a.k.a. coyotes and there’s a lot of coyotes that live in a forest. Here are the 4 of them relaxing After having breakfast.
@Chuckinflorida
Now I’m excited got my lifetime pass to the National Parks today in the mail just open the package 20 minutes ago. Home from work and I was invited over for a Burger 🍔 with my mom and sister.
@Chuckinflorida
Badlands National Park in South Dakota just one of the parks I plan on visiting again especially now that I have my lifetime pass to all the national parks. So most likely the first place I use my pass is florida’s national seashore right outside of Cape Kennedy To watch a spaceX rocket launch.
@Chuckinflorida
Before heading home last night I transplanted a wildflower I saw alongside the road into my garden now I’m hoping it survives the transplant. Any idea what it is what kind of flower it is if you know let me know?
@Chuckinflorida
I had a Woodpecker and bluebird morning; the traffic into the convenience center got busy the birdies left. I'm seeing the butterflies but they’re just flying around because there’s not too many flowers in my garden that opened up yet. Then when I made it home my brother told me the hummingbirds are back he said he must’ve seen at least five or six today hanging around the bottlebrush tree.
@Chuckinflorida
What a beautiful Monday morning it 7:50 AM the moon is shining brightly and the temperature is like 45°F or 7.2 Celsius hoping all haves a awesome Monday or awesome Monday evening.
@Chuckinflorida
I caught Fluffy in the Morning sunrise posing for me. He is such a handsome cat 🐈 now I’m off for the next 3 days It’s was a little chilly this morning that’s why he was sitting in the sun enjoying the warmth.
@Chuckinflorida
They are back and I can’t wait to see if I can get more photographs of these amazing little birds for this #RedMonday I’m sharing the Amazing hummingbird for the #Rainbowcolorchallenge Small hummingbird found in a variety of woodland and brushy habitats. Male distinctive with ruby-red throat and black chin.***info from Merlin Bird ID
@Chuckinflorida
So who got the watch the sunrise this morning or the sunset first day off of work so I got myself out there and put the eye in the sky to catch the sun come up. Have a warm lovely day I’m going to go hiking.
@Chuckinflorida
This Morning I went for a hike out to Lake Charles. The first time, I was able to photograph some Cedar Waxwings, what beautiful birds they are; then, as I was photographing the Cedar waxwings, Eastern Towhe showed up to get his picture taken. Then there was an alligator swimming along the banks of Lake Charles. All in all, it was a beautiful hike out into the Ocala National Forest.
@Chuckinflorida
Good morning good afternoon good evening on this Wednesday had to take my brother to work this morning so I decided to go over to the park and walk and see if I could find some birds to photograph and I found a few like these Beautiful sandhill cranes. Then I came upon this red wing blackbird Stratton for the females. Then a redheaded woodpecker that just wouldn’t give me a good pose. Enjoy your day if you go out and get some fresh air.
@Chuckinflorida
More of my morning walk at the park most of the ponds at the park of been drain due to sinkholes they’re trying to repair. hey these irises were growing along the side where the pond used to be. Then there was a female crackle next one of the ponds that still had water.
@Chuckinflorida
We have those rainy days, thinking it's going to be a day when I go to the store to pick up my groceries for my mom. I received the groceries and went to start up the car to go home, and the vehicle does not start after a hour I get a jump and it starts but I head over too the Service station Yep I need a new battery there goes $200 plus when it rains, it pours. 😆
@Chuckinflorida
Good Mornings my first day back after my three days off I was happy to see my transplant wildflower ( Verbascum Mullein) standing straight up and not wilting like it was when I left on Monday And after a full day of rain yesterday I start the day off with a beautiful blue sky and a beautiful sunrise.
@Chuckinflorida

Joining in on my Brother from another mother @awakentolife #thewaybackthenSunday Challenge. July 13, 2010 was the day I’ll never forget when I went out fishing our Seward Alaska and caught my first halibut weighed in at 125lbs. I’m the one on the right.
@Chuckinflorida
Our big boy toys when I visit Alaska what kind of things do you like doing when you’re on vacation. I love exploring the back country of Alaska going to places that where not too many other people have traveled. This was such a beautiful day for a ride this is considered Willow Alaska you can see mount Denali tallest mountain in North America off in the distance in the last photograph. Just 3 months away from flying back to Alaska. And video link was from the same trip…
@Chuckinflorida

I haven’t been able to photograph them yet this year but I have plenty of photographs from them from last year.

@Chuckinflorida
Saint Augustine Florida oldest city in the USA I believe this was the last time my sister from Ohio was here and this is where we’re going today with my other sister from Alaska. It’s about 2 hour drive I’m hoping to put up my eye in the sky at the beach.
@Chuckinflorida
We made it to Saint Augustine first stop was the beach my sister told me she wanted to put her feet in the ocean so that’s where we went. The First Thing I see when I get to the beach parking lot is this boattail grackle enjoying a shrimp breakfast. Taking a walk down Vilano beach collecting a few shells and looking out to see our next stop Saint Augustine historical lighthouse built in 1871.
@Chuckinflorida
This is looking up to the top of the lighthouse 219 steps to the very top interesting fact the one that was the lightkeeper took care of the light and keeping it burning had to carry 30 pounds of oil up to the very top of the 219 steps a few times a night to keep the light from going out to daylight.
@Chuckinflorida
More Beauty from Saint Augustine around the lighthouse there are little hiking trails and different museums there including the lighthouse keepers house that they lived in is actually a museum also there’s a lot of their belongings still there. From the top of the lighthouse you can see parts of old Saint Augustine with the Fort Castillo de San Marcos built in 1672 And what’s a post with out a few bird : ) photographs.
@Chuckinflorida
Today was a day that I was supposed to have been off and I was kind of worn out and tired from yesterday driving over to Saint Augustine up and down the stairs at the lighthouse walking on the beach kind of wore me out for today at work I had a hard time keeping my eyes open so as was sitting there I noticed I had a couple buzzards flying over me They might’ve thought I was dead. lol. It’s time me to get some sleep Good Night for my friends on the other side of the world…
@Chuckinflorida
