What a beautiful day!  We had the express pleasure of sharing a day with our neices.  With the Florida Winter weather being so beautiful we decided to take a hike on the new Polk County nature preserve trail, the Circle B Bar Ranch.  We spent about three hours hiking the natural areas through marshes, along the shore of Lake Hancock, and through the scrub land.  Hundreds of birds, several alligators (it is Florida after all), and some sweet kids.  For the camera gear I brought the venerable Olympus E3, my Sigma 30 mm 1.4 (my favorite f-stop), and carried it with my Black Rapid R-Strap.  Here are a couple of quick shots of the kids:

Thats all for now...
