Morning Glory (Macro)

While out for a recent morning hike on the grounds of Fort Pickens Florida and only carrying the Sony ZV-1, I photographed this Morning Glory. This Macro handheld shot had camera settings of 1/400 sec at f/4 with ISO 125. It’s not my regular camera I use for doing Macro, but for just hiking with a light camera it’s definitely fun to have along.

Great Blue Heron Morning Snack Time

Even though I have not been traveling long distances lately I still get out locally as much as I can. With this shot I just headed out to one of my favorites places in the area which is Fort Pickens on the far West end of Pensacola Beach Florida.
