Bottle-Nosed Dolphin Surfing Boat Wake, Florida Everglades

Bottle-Nosed Dolphin
© John Corney 2011
I recently visited the Everglades while in Florida for my exhibition opening. I took an Everglades Day Safari which included a boat ride on the Everglades National Park where I photographed this bottle-nosed dolphin surfing the wake of a passing boat.

If you are visiting southern Florida and interested in visiting the Everglades, I can recommend the Everglades Day Safari. It is very informative and you get to ride an air boat up, another boat that takes you for a 2 hour cruise of the Everglades estuary where this photo was taken, and walk in a cedar forest. The website for the day safari is http://www.ecosafari.com/.

Do Not Disconnect - The Real Digital Divide

The fly in the ointment, Opito Bay, around 2007. This post was originally published in November, 2007. Almost two decades on, the photograph and the argument both feel — if anything — more relevant than they did then. I have updated this post lightly in May, 2026, some 19 years later!

Anza-Borrego Wildflowers

Anza Borrego Desert State Park California Wildflowers This cluster of wildflowers is typical of the flowers in Plum Canyon in Anza-Borrego Desert this spring. Because of the dry and harsh environment, most of the flowers are tiny like the three in this photo. But what they lack in size, they make up for in color. It's pretty difficult to try and identify all these flowers, but I'm pretty sure the white one is Desert Pincushion. Help out if you can. I've been using the CalFlora.org website to try and identify the flowers in this series.
