Gator Hunter Supreme

Gator On The Moon

[Click To Enlarge]

Look closely at the moon reflection in the first photo, the black spot you see is a gator. He appears in the second photo also. I saw at least three or four gators in this pond yesterday morning. They love it there!

Surreal

Flipper

A flipped reflection, just for fun. LOL

Christmas Day Sunset at The Omni

Balloon Over Champions Gate Golf Club

I was shooting balloons Sunday morning, and struggling, because they were so high up in the sky, and suddenly the two large striped balloons decided to dip towards the ground - JUST SO I COULD GET A COUPLE OF GOOD SHOTS! I really believe that.

The Omni Resort Today

I went to the Omni Hotel this morning in search of treasure. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to spot a single redhead in the area. I joke, of course, I was really there to shoot these photos of a beautiful morning in paradise.

The golf course is getting ready for the big weekend coming up, the DelWebb Father Son Challenge at ChampionsGate. Everything is looking nice! I was able to get a ticket for the event, but no cameras, mp3 players, or cell phones are allowed. If I go, you'll have to rely on my memory and my ability to write to describe what I see.

If you live in the US, don't forget to visit my friend Albertine at Cyber Monday Sales. The savings are incredible, especially from Best Buy starting tomorrow. Go there!! Albertine will thank you for it.

Under The Grass

Another "just having fun here" shot. A hot air balloon, reflected in one of the ponds at the ChampionsGate Golf Course, flipped for your viewing pleasure.

Random Weekend Shots

1) Hot Air Balloon floating over the National Course at the Champions Gate Golf Course.
2) The Gate, sunrise October 18, 2008.
3) I am still a Gator hunter.
4) Balloon at the Gate, sunrise October 16, 2008.
5) Self portrait. I'm still cute.
6) Great Blue Herons leaving for work, sunrise October 19, 2008. I was surprised to see one Great White flying along with them. One of the ways to tell these are herons, rather than cranes, which are a similar size, is the way they hold their neck when flying - curled back towards their body. Cranes fly with their necks outstretched.
7) The Gate, sunrise October 19, 2008.
8) Clock Tower top, sunrise October 18, 2008.
9) Office building under construction on Celebration Boulevard. Celebration is just a couple of miles up the road. All of these office buildings seem to have an Art Deco appearance. I don't know anything about architecture, so that's a guess. LOL
10) The Farmer's Market at Downtown Celebration October 19, 2008.
11) Celebration Hotel basking in the morning sun, October 19, 2008.
12) House Of Blues water tower and ticket office at Downtown Disney. I was really there to photograph people enjoying the Florida lifestyle, but this thing got in the way.

Make sure you click 'em to big 'em, I don't want you to miss anything. To see people enjoying the Florida lifestyle go to Stuff I Shoot, thanks.

Sunrise Balloon Three

Balloons, Seven

1) When I left my house this morning I looked straight up into the sky above my truck and this is what I saw.
2) The same balloon a few minutes later from the local 7-11. The balloon was moving east.

4) Gator in the clouds. Hotel pond, July 19, 2008.
5) Sunrise, July 19, 2008, in front of the Omni Hotel.

Balloons, Six

Once again I threw in a few extra shots. It started out as a foggy morning, as you can see by the fifth shot, but the sun and balloons soon replaced the mist. Click to enlarge, especially the Gator shot, you can see his yellow eye checking me out - I was only a few feet from him.

Early Birds Too

A few of the shots I took Sunday, July 13, 2008 while 'camped out' waiting for hot air balloons that never appeared in the sky.
