Photographs from a quick trip to Southwest Florida to visit family during the 2017 Thanksgiving Holiday. We visited Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, Bonita Beach, Port of the Isles, Everglades National Park and Pine Island.
These are the first images taken on my new Nikon d850 which came in the mail just before departing Annapolis. I am excited to start using this camera as my 'workhorse' to replace the d750, d500 and d800 that I have been using for just over two years.
