If you are a bird photographer, there are scads of birds available for great photos almost any time of year. You can have your pick of small songbirds that can be found anywhere, lake and pond birds like herons and egrets, plenty of birds of prey such as eagles and ospreys, and of course, birds found all along the coastline and beaches like pelicans and terns.
If you like to shoot flowers, there is something in bloom year-round in central Florida. You can find iris's, roses, hibiscus, foxgloves, birds of paradise, daisies, and a whole plethora of other flowers at various parts of the year. You just have to look for them.
If animals are your favorite photo subjects, you are all set there as well. Florida is home to alligators, turtles, manatees, squirrels, snakes, armadillos, bobcats, and plenty more.
But if you want to find a place that can provide a good sampling of birds, wild flowers, and animals in one place, you have to visit Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland, FL. I simply love this place. Every visit is an adventure. You never know what you will see there on any given day. Everything from great blue herons, white egrets and ospreys to otters, alligators and owls are easily found there pretty much any time you want to go and pay a visit to this amazing place.
Be sure to bring water with you, especially on the hot days of summer because the trails can be very long and there is no water available. You are truly out there in the wild. So be watchful as you go. Don't just run through the reserve. If you take your time and keep your eyes open, it's amazing what you may see.
Here is one of the many shots I have taken at Circle B Bar Reserve (CBBR)
