Florida’s Unique Shy Wolf Sanctuary
Did you ever think you could stand inside a wolf habit and pet a wolf? Well you can.
Naples Florida is home to a unique charity,The Shy Wolf Sanctuary. They rescue wolves that have been bred or purchased as pets and then abused or abandoned. The sanctuary is the only wolf sanctuary in the USA where you can actually interact with these beautiful wild animals. They are totally supported by donations and merchandise sales. The staff is made up completely of volunteers. Plan a trip while in south Florida for a real wildlife encounter.
If you buy a print of this image, I will donate all my profits to this wonderful organization.

Pink Orchid
Living in Florida this winter was filled with many shocks and surprises. For one, I didn’t expect to see orchids in full bloom. I figured they need the full warmth of summer to bloom but some apparently like the cooler weather.
My Tampa friend, Jerry grows many orchids and this pink one was ready for its close up.

Sunset Sail
A week ago I took this picture and now after a 1300 mile drive, I am surround by snow mountains and the beach is just a memory. Sigh.

Shadows of Palm
Our time in the southland is drawing to a close. Soon we will be winding our way north ending our southern hiatus will end. Like the Robin, hopefully we will be the harbinger of an early Spring. Like this image, golden warm sunsets will be shadows until summer arrives.

Bok Tower
The beautiful tower complete with carillon was built by Pulitzer Prize winning author, Edward W. Bok in 1929. You can stroll the magnificent gardens while listening to classical music on the amazing carillon performed by famous music masters from Belgium, France and the USA.
It is located in Lake Wales Florida and at the highest point in Florida offering great views of the citrus groves surrounding the area. You can even tour Mr. Bok’s house and just imagine living there in the 1930’s

Throw Away Sunset
When we got back from Cancun in December, I published a few sunset pictures. This one never made the cut. I had uploaded the image but never published it.
Last night was a beautiful night in Clearwater, but the sunset was lame. I waited and waited but it just sank, no clouds or haze means a lame sunset. I could have told you this one was from last night, but it was actually the reject from Cancun…sigh, truth is hard.
