Description

It's late spring in Florida and the temperature and humidity are starting to rise. I'm in Maritime Hammock, a nature preserve on a barrier island in Melbourne Beach. I remember when this island was nearly empty 30 years ago, dotted with "for sale" signs along A1A. Now its filled with mansions and condo complexes. This preserve is a little slice of the islands' former self, and a wonderful place to explore. I'm elated when I discover this guy in the middle of the trail! He's still quite young and about four feet long, with perfect unblemished features. As I sit on the ground to create a portrait, he warily tolerates my presence, and scoots off after the shot. This why I enjoy doing what I do. The memories and photographs are indelible, this is why I love exploring Florida.
