ROGER'S 2006 EVERGLADES IMAGES

Page 1 of 2

A somewhat randomly ordered selection of images from Roger's trip to Florida's Everglades National Park, December 2006. Jim LaDue joined me for the Shark Valley bike trail portion of the expedition. Other shots were taken around the Anhinga Trail and Flamingo. Though much of the 2.5 days were cloudy, the lack of harsh sun/no-sun contrasting actually made for easier photography of wildlife taking shelter in the areas of dense or typically shaded vegetation. I'll offer minimal narrative and instead let the photos speak for themselves. Enjoy!
