I often drove by this scene along the Tamiami Trai

I often drove by this scene along the Tamiami Trail highway. I’d been eyeing this area for a long time, but wanted to photograph it in both morning light and with clouds.

The two never seemed to happen together, as summer thunderstorms typically roll in during the afternoon. On this rare summer day, thunderstorms popped up in the morning, and the sun lit up the trees.

It was precisely the moment I had so long been anticipating. Even though I was on my way to an appointment, I stopped to capture this view.

Today is National Orchid Day! Did you know?

The Ghost Orchid is a very rare native orchid of Florida. It has many unique features, but one of the features Clyde finds most fascinating is that it doesn’t have any leaves. If there weren’t a bloom on the plant, you’d have no idea there was an orchid on the tree.

The Ghost Orchid is quite rare; there are believed to be fewer than 2,000 in the wild. Clyde has been lucky enough to be able to photograph it multiple times in the south Florida Everglade swamps.

I photographed the Bristlecone Pines in January and when we finally reached the altitude of 10,000+ I was surprised to find there was no snow in the White Mountains. Although this wasn’t good news for California’s drought, it was good news to me. The lack of snow made photographing the pines easier and a lot more fun. For a long time I had wanted to photograph the pines, so it was a pure joy to capture images of these magnificent pieces of natural sculpture.

Cayo Costa Island State Park is a barrier island o

Cayo Costa Island State Park is a barrier island off the Gulf Coast of Florida. In late June, the northern part of the island becomes an ideal spot for photography as the sun reaches its northernmost point, creating spectacular lighting conditions.

Niki and I spent an entire month aboard our boat, anchored off the island, waiting for the combination of perfect light and dramatic cloud formations. I love the beauty and power of an approaching storm – as I waited for this shot, we came close to being engulfed by a violent thunderstorm. While all the boats around us headed for cover, we stayed, hoping for the right conditions to take this photo.

After capturing the shot, we headed for the safety of the harbor just as the storm broke all around us.

In 1994, The Wilderness Society and the Forestry Department invited me to photograph the seven wilderness areas of Florida. I was given seven days in which to achieve the project! I took it on as a challenge to see if I could do it. I had two pieces of film each day that I could shoot. This photograph is one of the locations I came upon in the Ocala National Forest.
