Karl and Kathleen Nichter Photography



This blog began in 2009, about a year after we started our photography business. People attending our photo exhibits, or our hikes and workshops, asked for details on where we traveled for photography. As naturalists we usually kept a field journal, so we used that as a basis for Field Notes.
In Summer, 2014 we took a break from the blog because our business, and lives were changing. In January 2015 the blog restarted with an expanded theme. It now contains photography, notes, and articles from all of our travels and all of our photography, not just nature themed. The posts prior to 2014 have been archived.

For more information, please click on "About Us" below.

Thank you for visiting.

Gator on a Log

Based on the weather forecast, the sunny, humid, 68 degree weather we experienced as we started our hike this morning would be the warmest for the day. Sure enough, we finished three hours later with clouds rolling in, the wind picking up, and the temperature starting to fall.

The warm and sunny weather did bring out some of the reptiles first thing in the morning. As we crossed the bridge, we saw one of the resident alligators pulled half up on a log. Naturally, I stopped to photograph it.

As we exited the bridge and started down the trail, I turned to look at the alligator again. From this angle, he looked like he was kicking along on a surfboard, on his way to catch a wave.

I love both photographs. "Compose with your feet" really applies to this situation.
