This osprey was perched in a tree in what I still call "South Lido Park," even though today its formal name is "Ted Sperling Nature Park at South Lido." This Sarasota County, Florida, park is one of my favorites because of its minimal development. Birds in this place know people won't harm them, so their numbers and species abound. Black-hooded Parakeets, Snowy Egrets, Brown Pelicans, Great Blue Herons, Palm Warblers, and Laughing Gulls have showed up in this small place during my few brief visits there. The Ospreys here are regularly seen in trees and often fly out to the Gulf of Mexico to catch fish. People sometimes fish on the Sarasota Bay side, and Great Blue Herons and Brown Pelicans come close to them, hoping for handouts. Australian Pines, although officially invasive, are among my favorite trees; I love their long, jointed needles.

I'm a retired programmer who has found digital art to be a natural medium. I work steadily towards the goal of making this medium a respected art form, as much so as painting and photography are. To me, a piece of true digital art presents an original concept rather than simply being a photo with a filter or an AI software algorithm applied to it. Its style is unique to the artist without being tightly constraining. I also enjoy wildlife photography. I do not submit any originals; if you choose to buy any of my products, you can do that through FAA. There is no need to contact me personally! As is the case with every account on FAA, watermarks do not appear on purchased products. My website is at https://www.dpughphoto.com.
