the window at the gallery by Isa Rodriguez
Taken at a gallery of artist from Miami.. ,(florida ) this gallery is filled with rooms.. like this one.. which has a fashion designer in it.. and she sits and works while we mull around her creations. I was so fascinated by all the rooms. and I am hoping that I could portray their environment here. I love this place.. many are artist which do not have much.. they work all day at their craft. there are sculptors, and there are painters, its a wonderful place.. but most would just pass it by , without a glance.. you gotta go and see for yourself how hard they work and how excited they are, and how beautiful each piece is. its not hanging or displayed.. its just there. :) Sony Cybershot DSC H 7

Wings of the Anhinga by Isa Rodriguez
I find this bird to be one of those birds that is a pleasure to watch.. they are usually found alone.. and they must dry their wings , before diving again, due to no oil glands on the wings. Lakes Park. Fort Myers, Florida. Sony DSC H 7 ** / This is a clickable image

And The curtain rises .. Monarch dance by Isa Rodriguez
A monarch Butterflies are beautiful, flying insects with large scaly wings. Like all insects, they have six jointed legs, 3 body parts, a pair of antennae, compound eyes, and an exoskeleton. The three body parts are the head, thorax (the chest), and abdomen (the tail end). The four wings and the six legs of the butterfly are attached to the thorax. The thorax contains the muscles that make the legs and wings move. Butterfly Estates Gardens at Fort Myers, Florida

Hey! by Isa Rodriguez
as is from the camera burrowing Owl sony cybershot DSC H 7, hand held…... / 1/500s / ISO 100 / Cape Coral Florida Population Current population estimates are not well known but trend data suggests significant declines across their range. Last official estimated place them at less than 10,000 breeding pairs. / Range Burrowing owls are distributed from the Mississippi to the Pacific and from the Canadian prairie provinces into South America. They are also found in Florida and the Caribbean islands. Burrowing owls have disappeared from much of their historic range. / Behavior Unlike other owls, burrowing owls are active during the day, especially in the spring when they gather food for their large broods. This species of owl prefers open areas with low ground cover. They can often be found perching near their burrow on fence posts and trees. Burrowing owls make a tremulous chuckling or chattering call. They also bob their heads to express excitement or distress. Burrowing owls often nest in loose colonies about 100 yards apart. Reproduction / Mating Season Early spring / Gestation 28 days / Clutch size 3-12 eggs / The young owls begin appearing at the burrow’s entrance two weeks after hatching and leave the nest to hunt for insects on their own after about 45 days. The chicks can fly well at 6 weeks old. / Threats The greatest threat to burrowing owls is habitat destruction and degradation caused primarily by land development. Despite their protected status, burrowing owls and their burrows are routinely destroyed during the development process. visit here for “source of info found here Burrowing owls are also threatened by agricultural development, the use of pesticides and efforts to eradicate prairie dogs, which live side by side with burrowing owls, in addition to natural predation by horned owls, hawks, foxes, badgers and even domestic pets. / Legal Status/Protection In the U.S., the burrowing owl is identified as a candidate species by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In several states, they are considered a “species of special concern.” They are “endangered” in Canada. *Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
