Florida - The Sunshine State

This is my lovely cameraman Andy who did a brilliant job. After we finished filming he went off to LA and won an Emmy for his work on Planet Earth !! He was willing to assume any position to get the best possible shots.... (not sure how our health & safety person would have felt, especially considering that he was hanging over a pit of white tigers, but we made it through without any loss of limbs...)Getting up close and personal with some baby warthogs...

A baby Leopard cub...cute, but dangerous...Most of the manatees that live at Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo are there for rehabilitation and are then released back into the wild. Here is one of them on his way to freedom...
The hotel which became home for 6 nights...
The view from my hotel over the Florida Keys...
Rufus shows keen interest in a possible career behind the camera...Rufus attempts to escape from the Zoo...Part of Rufus's rehabilitation was to be re-introduced to the other kangaroos - I'm not quite sure what they made of his pretty beach bag/pouch !!
This is a little present I picked up for the team in the Bristol office....Tampa the Flamingo...
