Bird Photography at Viera Wetlands

There are few places that have a higher number of species readily accessible to the camera than Viera Wetlands. This is a great place for both the beginner and expert nature photographer to get excellent images of many species of birds, mammals, and reptiles. An early start is needed in order to catch the best light. We had a misty fog during sunrise which made for some interesting photos! The photographers definitely took advantage of the moody ambiance it created.

Thursday

1st Annual Chalk Art Festival at the Indian River Mall

This was the first ever chalk art festival in Indian River County. Using only pastel chalks (which are environmentally friendly),the parking lot was transformed into living art. Watching art come to life is considered a performance art and has an immediacy that gives every piece a uniqueness that can never be truly duplicated. The light and surface elements are constantly changing, making the art a constantly evolving entity. Images can be of anything, ranging from reproductions of great masterpieces to photos to 3D animorphic art that tricks the viewer into seeing something different than what is actually on the street.
