#WednesdayWonders - The Photography of #DougLittle

West Indian Manatee (Trichechus inunguis)

In honor of wildlife photographer extraordinaire Doug Little's one-man exhibit at Enterprise Heritage Center & Museum this month, I thought maybe you guys would enjoy a #WednesdayWonders post featuring some of my personal favorite photos of his. Yes, you read right. Doug's photography will be on display at the museum throughout the entire month of April, so I hope those of you in the area will stop by to view--and possibly purchase--some of Doug's most beautiful work. He has greeting cards and calendars on sale, as well, I believe.

Now, without further ado, and in no particular order, here are a few photographs for your viewing pleasure. These were all taken along the St. Johns River, from aboard Doug's eco tour boat, the Naiad.

And there you have fifteen gorgeous photographs, which barely scratches the surfaces of the total number of stunning pictures Doug has taken over the last few years. The St. Johns River is a treasure trove of animals, birds, and scenic beauty like no other. Do yourself a big favor and visit the Enterprise Heritage Center & Museum to see some of Doug's best work up close and personal.

And then do yourself another favor, and book a tour aboard the Naiad to enjoy the river firsthand. Maybe you'll take an award-winning photo yourself in the process.

Hope you enjoyed today's #WednesdayWonders post.

See you next week!
