News and musings of Fine art pet photographer Laurie Meehan-Elmer based in Tampa Bay area, Florida
As a native Floridian, I feel so lucky to live in a state with such wonderful wildlife and ecosystems. As a nature lover, I have to admit I’ve been spoiled. While some people think Disney World and Miami Beach when they think of Florida, that’s not what makes Florida so special. The real treasure of...
Those are exactly the memories I have of Florida – nice captures!
Some call Californians crazy but I think the state (CA) is going in the right direction when protecting what can so easily perish.
Here, the more crazy, the better.
That reminds me: I need to send a Christmas gift to a marine mammal rescue center I support. Merry Christmas to you too

The first leg of our trip was spent in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. The whole area, including the adjoining national forest land was amazing. From the trees to the canyon, everything is over-sized and breathtaking. It’s easy to feel insignificant when standing next to the General Sherman Tree (a giant Sequoia), the largest...

beautiful photos! welcome to California!
just letting you know the Facebook link in your Welcome section doesn’t lead to your FB page, for some reason it takes me to my own FB Friends section.September 27, 2011 – 4:21 am
Thanks Romy and thanks for the heads up regarding the Facebook link. I’ll have to take a look at that!September 27, 2011 – 8:20 am

As a serious, possibly non-serious photographer I find myself in awe .. dang it. I’ve never really wanted to go to Yosemite until now.September 19, 2011 – 2:16 am
I second what Knicki said. love the two shots with trees Laurie… moreso the first. your best shots are those that are creatively yours!September 19, 2011 – 6:25 am
Thanks Knicki and Philippe! Knicki, You really do need to go to Yosemite.September 19, 2011 – 8:45 am
I had the same thoughts when I was there. I was only there for a couple of days in May. Lots of the park was inacessible because of the heavy snow. I didn’t really luck out with any great light or anything. I love the one with the lightning in it. It’s all about being prpared to take a great shot when the opurtunity presents its self isn’t it?September 19, 2011 – 12:31 pm
I am inspired by your photos – even the cliche ones. The lighting at Tunnel View is poetic. Obviously you are doing what you love!September 19, 2011 – 1:21 pm
OMG Laurie, these are just magnificent! Derek and I may have to change our Yellowstone plans to Yosemite plans! Thanks for sharing. I love reading your views and seeing your NEVER cliche work September 19, 2011 – 1:45 pm

Here are more landscape photos from our recent trip to the Dakotas. I’m still in awe of the great plains, sweeping grasslands, and the incredible light. ________________ ________________ ________________ ________________ We were so close to Devils Tower in Wyoming, we had to have a look. ________________ ________________ ________________ ________________ ________________

Now you’ve got to do a book! Rare ferrets and mad donkeys as well…I love the sheep grazing shot with the amazing backdrop. You’ve really made me want to go there one day, it’s a unique looking place, you should get the state tourist board to sponsor you!October 10, 2010 – 4:37 am
