My name is @CarltonWard. I recently had the privilege of photographing Florida nature parks for @NatGeoTravel, giving me this chance to share the wild side of my home state with you. Please check out yesterday’s #FloridaWild photography by @mattmoyerphoto and stay tuned for the rest of today for more from me. Photo by @carltonward // (1 of 8) Terns and gulls take flight from an sand bar on the south side of Boca Grande Pass with the palm-studded coast of Cayo Costa State Park in the background. The sun is setting over the Gulf of Mexico behind me, casting warm light on the scene while a passing afternoon storm reveals a rainbow. #NatGeoTravelStories // Follow along this weekend as @mattmoyerphoto and @carltonward share photographs from their recent assignment in Florida. Shot #onassignment for @natgeotravel in partnership with @visitflorida @sharealittlesunshine. #CayoCosta #GulfofMexico @FL.StateParks
