Claudine has been photographing in the Everglades since 1981
when she first saw the big beautiful wading birds feeding in
Mrazek Pond. She photographs wildlife, landscapes, and
aerials in the Everglades system, as well as, in other areas
of Florida. Her work is published in Audubon calendars,
World Wildlife Fund books and many magazines - National
Wildlife, U.S. News and World Report, & Palm Beach
Illustrated.
These are some examples of her work:
Sungator - "Welcome to the Everglades!" alligator greets
visitors
Summerain - Early summer rain clouds cover Taylor Slough in
Everglades National Park
Sunsawgrass - Summer sunrise silhouettes the sawgrass in
bloom
Sumclouds - Summer clouds build over the Shark River slough
as water moves through the 'River of Grass'
Dry Season - Winter is usually the dry season when wildlife
gathers in the few remaining ponds
One feather - One heron feather floats in the sawgrass - this
might be all that is left if the Evergaldes in not restored
"Memorial

Performing Field Investigations" (The memorials for Craig, Scott, and
Cristina include photographs that Claudine dedicated in their honor.)
