Starting my morning watching the birds as I sit out the deck having my morning coffee. At first I didn’t have my camera and then I had a few Carolina wrens so I grab my camera and came back out of course they were gone by then but The hummingbirds showed up so I took a few photographs of them and a butterfly. #Ilovenature #hummingbirds #nature
@Chuckinflorida
I was expecting to see the hummingbirds this morning but haven’t seen them yet but I did get a Monarch butterfly to visit my bottlebrush tree. I can’t wait for cooler temperatures to arrive 3 1/2 more months of this heat.
@Chuckinflorida
This was back in South Florida right after they plowed the fields I believe they were feeding on the critters that were killed while plowing the fields. Found this Python next to the road where I seen the bald eagle at The python is laying on the hood of my car. These pythons are a invasive species killing lots of birds and actually deer in the Everglades national Park area.
@Chuckinflorida
I still have 4 sunflower plants left all the rest were killed off by insects. I love seeing butterflies enjoying the sunflowers also this butterfly has been sitting on the flower for the last 10 minutes.
@Chuckinflorida
Wishing i was back in Alaska enjoying these beautiful mountains. Of course this is my favorite place to hike close to my sisters in the valley only 20 to 25 minutes ride to this location. Hatcher Pass is known for the independence gold mine that produced over 34,000 ounces of gold in 1941. At one time it employed over 200 people #Mountains #landscapes #Nature
@Chuckinflorida
Out of all the Sunflowers I planted this is what i was hoping to see daily but all were killed off by Insects Except for These. I had 3 visiting the sunflower 🌻 yesterday.
@Chuckinflorida
Spicebush swallowtail also known as a black swallowtail unfortunately they don’t live very long. Black swallowtail butterflies, they can live for about 6 - 12 days.
@Chuckinflorida

@Chuckinflorida
Random photographs from the past from Alaska and Florida. First photo is a Sea otter 🦦 I photographed on a nature cruise to Fox Island Alaska to a Beautiful osprey in the Florida Everglades.
@Chuckinflorida
Had a different bird this morning but is not a seed eater it was chasing the bugs on the flowers. I enjoyed a cup of coffee while sitting out on my deck hoping to get a few good photos.
@Chuckinflorida
Yesterday afternoon I had my brother tap on my window then there was a big butterfly 🦋 out on the flowers. So I grabbed my camera to see if I could catch a few photos before it's Beauty left the area. Species is a Eastern giant swallowtail Scientific name (Papilio cresphontes) Information gathered from butterfly identification website: The Giant Swallowtail butterfly indigenous to different parts of North America is said to be the largest butterfly of this continent.

Happy Caturday. Yesterday was my first day back from my 3 days off and my cats at work were very happy to see me. They were patiently waiting for fresh water and food it's kind of sad that Halftail is missing but I look at this way if it wasn't for me these cats would have probably starve to death because since I’ve worked out there for the last five years I’ve kept them fed made sure they had freshwater probably would’ve had kittens everywhere around here because all the…
@Chuckinflorida
I am work watching my customers come in to dump their household garbage sitting underneath a shade tree counting cars I know it’s a hard job but someone has to do it. Then All of a sudden Miss Piggy decided to jump up on my lap and watch these crazy customers with me.
@Chuckinflorida
This morning I was hoping for an Awesome sunrise just because of the way the clouds were scattered I thought to be a Lotta color but right where the sun was coming up there were no clouds. Still it was not bad but I seen better of course when I didn’t have my camera. 😆 Just another hot day here in North Central Florida.
@Chuckinflorida
Came over visit My Mom and Bella and she had to come over and see me. Here she is kicking back with her kitty 🐱 its her favorite toy.
@Chuckinflorida
A look back to a evening in Everglades National Park watching the sunset. Also Photographed and Everglades National Park in July 2016 I really miss going out to the everglades seeing these beautiful birds a Barred owl.
@Chuckinflorida
I am telling you The Cardinals are really looking mighty ragged around here they are molting very badly usually a beautiful bird but not as they are looking now.
@Chuckinflorida
I was out at sunrise having my cup of coffee and did a little flying with the birds to catch a Birdseye view of the sunrise. As it became lighter I noticed three Mississippi kites sitting in the oak tree so I went over and photographed them here’s a few photos also of these gorgeous birds.
@Chuckinflorida
This morning’s sunrise and of a summer tanger it been a while since I’ve seen a tanger and a Moon shot from this morning. On 29 August they’ll be launching unmanned rocket they say it’s the biggest most powerful rocket ever to be launch from NASA heading for the moon to orbit then return back to earth.
@Chuckinflorida
Love it when we get these afternoon thunderstorms the rain cools things down from the 90s to 70s. What does amazes me is the lack of respect for lightning these two girls show up in their pick up truck to dump their garbage and lightning is flying around all over the place. instead of waiting for the storm to be over to bring their garbage. Nature can be a killer people get struck by lightning every year and die.
@Chuckinflorida
It was a better sunrise this morning than yesterday then I noticed my birdfeeders that I just filled with birdseed was laying on the ground and the other completely empty but not on the ground I was thinking maybe raccoons because I have seen tracks around the birdfeeders before but this track was not made by a raccoon I am for sure of that. Who can tell me what they think it was? BTW I know exactly what it was.
@Chuckinflorida
For the last few days I been trying to catch a airliner flying through the moon or close to the moon and I finally caught a couple first one is Southwest airlines and the Second airline was Delta Both were heading to Orlando Florida.
@Chuckinflorida
Sunday's Sunrise I Finally had a chance to upload my sunrise photos from this morning flight and it beat yesterday's sunrise photograph from home.
@Chuckinflorida
Now who likes to go for a swim on a very hot sunny day? There is a place just north from where I live called Pains Prairie when The water level is low all the alligators congregate in this one area. #Nature
@Chuckinflorida
I was out in the everglades hiking when I seen these two bucks relaxing in the tall grass. Sometimes I wish I lived here still but Miami is just to many people. Alaska is where I wanna be during the summertime in Florida. Second photograph is the place I want to be in the summertime.
@Chuckinflorida
Its going to be another hot day so I not out running around in the Forest so here I am looking back in my Photo gallery from outings from the pass. This has to be my favorite of small birds of pray The American kestrel, also called the sparrow hawk.
@Chuckinflorida
So i just had to sit out on my deck and watch the birds come to my feeders and of course the squirrels 🐿 before it got to Hot. There also a couple of great egrets flew overhead.
@Chuckinflorida
Okay I did it and received my trail camera yesterday and this morning i Went and bought some batteries and formatted a memory card I have it all set up next to my birdfeeder here at home testing it out I hope to share some photographs a little later.
@Chuckinflorida
I love nature but this Bear 🐻 is starting to annoy me. I will be ready for the bear to night with a trail camera. I hope catch him or her in action. This was Photographed a while back but who knows as far as I know It could be the same bear
@Chuckinflorida
Just before heading home from work and the storm was building The good thing is nature waited for me to get home. That bear I was hoping to visit me last night didn't show up so again before I left I put the Game Camera out to see if he shows up tonight.
@Chuckinflorida
I'm starting to think this bear 🐻 suspects I put a camera up to catch him an action. Now it's been two nights in a row with the camera on all night and nothing shows up. lol I will try again tonight. So anyway I going to share a few favorite Photos from the Everglades National Park a Beautiful sunrise looking out over the sea of Sawgrass. Also my favorite bird to see when visiting the National park The barred owl. #NationalParks #Nature
@Chuckinflorida
You have to love when you get a beautiful sunrise the best I have seen in a while. Then my update on getting bear footage the bear again was a No show 🙁
@Chuckinflorida
Have you ever had something hit on the side of the head and quickly knock it off to see this it’s about 2 inches long. I believe its some kind of grasshopper but please don’t land on my eye I love nature but I don’t like being surprised this totally freaked me out.
@Chuckinflorida
I took a hike into Nature for the first time in a while hiked into the forest about a mile and a half by the time I made it back to my car I was soaking wet like I jumped into a pool. Seen a lot of Deer tracks so i set up my trail camera I will hike back out there in the morning to see if I caught any critter Photos and videos. So here are a few photos from this mornings hike.
@Chuckinflorida
I made it back out to the Forest this morning to check what kind of images I had on my trail camera but before I hiked to the Location where I place my trail cam I had a beautiful sunrise that I photographed. And again no wildlife caught on the trail camera other than a guy that was riding by on an ATV with his dog. Notice the temperature on the photograph by 12:30 in the afternoon it was hot out there.
