Hello there!


We are delighted you're here!

We are Nature and Wildlife Photographers based in Fort Myers, Florida. We've had the opportunity to travel to some 'wild places' and capture images of 'wild things' around the World and right here in our home state

Sometimes we get the best photo-ops "RIOBY" (Right In Our Own Back Yard).  And, getting to places from Tanzania to Canada's Hudson Bay, to The Galapagos to Cuba gives us opportunities to expand our experiences and share a wide selection of interesting images with you here..

Interested in purchasing an image you see here? Please use the link below to contact us and let us know.

Iceland

A land of fire and ice… usually seems like more ice than fire although all the geothermal springs do kinda balance out the ice.

Butterflies

There is something about butterflies that is calming in their gentle beauty. Photographing them, particularly in a ‘Butterfly House’ requires moving carefully and caalmly…. very different from more active BIF (Birds-In-Flight) work.
