The Capt. tells us that with all the pythons in the Everglades they are depleting the small as well as some of the large wildlife that helps make the chain of life continue. Recently it was reported that there are fewer, rabbits, raccoons, deer, bobcats and small birds in certain areas of the Glades due to the fact that the Pythons are eating everything in their paths.It is a real problem and don hopes it will be controlled soon rather than before they do too much damage that the wildlife will never return.

All in all Capt. Don try’s to capture the beauty and realism of the Everglades and other photographic areas around Florida, Naples as well as the world.
