It's a small place by big city standards. My world generally consists of shooting in one State Park called St. Andrews. Most times I just drive out there though on occasion I'll take my behemoth motorhome and stay a few days. even though I am only 18 miles from home, it feels like a 100.
In the general vicinity of where I live: (Google Map coordinates) 30.244133, -85.666657
And this is the Park: 30.143004, -85.739942 To the south of the park lies the Gulf of Mexico. GO due south and you'll end up in Honduras. Vary a point or two east or west and it's Cuba or Mexico. Long swim either or.
In general, save the lakes, and waters of the Gulf of Mexico, this is what it looks like in its natural state:
1. Dune Trilogy
And in no particular order, the park and its inhabitants:
2. Gator Lake (and yes it is filled with the armor plated beasties, some up to 15 feet (5 meters).
3. The pass beteen the park and an extension of the park only accessible by boat.
4. Great Blue, Little Blue, Green Herons, and Tri-colors abound:

And the Non-heron, water fowl, Anhingas (Straight beak), Cormorants, (slight curve at the end of the beak), both birds which lack the natural oils that shed water and must spend periodic periods of time drying their wings and Egrets. As well, We have Pelicans, some ducks of varied species who migrate in and out and Osprey who are also called "Fish Hawks." Egrets consist of Great Whites (biggest of the lot), Snowy's characterized by their yellow legs, Cattle Egrets, smaller and slightly brownish with black legs and black & yellow feet.

More to follow tomorrow but it is 2:02 am and I must get my beauty rest...well, I'd have to sleep for a 100years to get any prettier.
