Description
This is a wide panoramic view of a sunrise over a beautiful wildlife lagoon located in the Saint Marks National Wildlife Refuge on the coast of Florida south of Tallahassee. I crawled out of bed that morning at 3 am so I could prepare at home - then drive the 115 miles or so to be there to have ample time to set up before the sunrise happened. I, of course, then kept hoping for a gorgeous sunrise to make all my troubles worthwhile. I believe it was worthwhile - maybe you'll agree. This most likely will be my last posting of this, to me, special image. I wanted to offer several options for possible viewers/buyers, from which, he/she could choose his/her favorite. Personally this is mine. Please be assured should you buy a copy of "Florida Nature Paradise" to have printed on canvass, mental, photo-paper or any of FAA's many other available medias FAA's watermark will NOT appear on your printed media when you receive it as FAA removes the watermark before it goes to print. ALL visits to my FAA-Pixels art site are welcomed, encouraged and greatly appreciated. Please visit often and, if you will, please also visit my wife's FAA-Pixels art site. Deb's link is;

Wow! Wonderful! Love the wildlife in the trees! l/f
DB Hayes replied:
Thank you very, very much - that is exactly one of the reasons I had picked this area on a previous trip thinking it would be a wonderful spot for a sunrise photograph if only the sunrise would cooperate. The next trip I made sure I arrived before the sun came up. The sunrise was perfect plus the birds were in the dead trees so all went well. Thank you for your compliment. Bill
