Conservation photography is a passion for Carla Rhodes, the sixth episode's featured guest. In Kissimmee, there’s no shortage of nature-focused activities for photographers like Carla to get up close and personal with Florida’s wildlife. At Twin Oaks Conservation Area she observed birds such as the Snail Kite in its natural habitat. The nature tour at Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate led her to the elusive Roseate Spoonbill. And, of course, no trip to Central Florida is complete without an airboat ride through the headwaters of the Everglades.
