Second chance: Shots that didn’t make it before

Roger Simmons, May 23, 2023June 13, 2023

I take a lot of photos when I visit Orlando Wetlands Park, the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge or other spots where there are birds or animals. And I mean A LOT of photos.

Fortunately for my Facebook friends, I usually only post a few photos there. And I may post a few others here on the website.

But there are a lot of photos I liked that just didn’t make the initial cut for publication for one reason or another.

As I was going through some of my photos from the first five months of the year, I found some that I thought deserved a second chance at being viewed.

So, here are your Second Chance photos from my January to May 2023 outtakes.
