Hi, my name is Keith Collingwood. My hobby is photography and I have been doing it since the late 70’s. Now that we are in the digital age, I have become more serious about my picture taking. My favorite thing to take pictures of is birds. I live in a small town east of Gainesville, FL and I retired from the City of Gainesville as a Fire Safety Inspector. The best place for pictures in the area is Payne's Prairie to the south of Gainesville with a wide variety of subjects, like Flowers, Bugs, Frogs, Spiders, Alligators, wild horses, bison, deer, wild hogs and a large variety of birds, and Sweetwater Wetlands Park in the City. I have also been to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, if you have not been there, go because you will enjoy yourself (I have gone back numerous times). My camera of choice is a Canon. I hope you enjoy all the pictures that I have taken so far. Please check back often to see the updates of new pictures on the New Picture page, and let me know if I have named any of the subjects incorrectly and if you know the names of any of the butterflies let me know so I can correctly name them.
