    Indian River ~ Florida

    The final images from my trip to Florida earlier this month. One last look at the Atlantic then on to the river. After spending some time at the beach and shopping, we made our way back to the house in time to walk to one of the piers not to far from my parents house.  I wanted to watch the sunset over the Indian River. We weren’t the first ones there…. According to a local, he is here every night at sunset…waiting…. …watching…. …enjoying the show with the rest of us.  🙂 While we wait…a view to the South of us…a storm appears to be building here and to our…

    Outside My Window ~ 10.23.2011

     Outside my window…is another Sunday afternoon coming to a close.  It is 5:40 in the early evening here…we still have sunshine and blue skies…a temperature of 61°F…and according to the Weather Channel there is 41 minutes left of daylight.  Our forecast low tonight is 48°F…better bring in some of my houseplants that I had taken back outside, that is kind of chilly for them.  The sun is setting much earlier ~ if I want to  photograph more sunsets I better do so…after daylight savings time kicks in it will be a lot harder to get one.  I have some amazing ones to share with you later this week. I’m thinking…

    Not tonight…

    I know I said more Melbourne Beach photos today…except not tonight.  I am past tired this evening…and not even sure why.  Oh well…..in the next couple of days I will share more photographs with you.  For this evening….I love how my oldest looks so tiny in comparison to the Atlantic Ocean and never ending blue sky.  I titled this image “In Awe”.

    Thursday Thoughts ~ Florida Edition

    Some of you knew I went to Melbourne Beach, Florida for a few days this past Saturday.  My oldest daughter flew down with me.  The weather wasn’t quite what we thought we would get when we visited the sunshine state.  We arrived Saturday morning sometime after a torrential downpour but before the wind and rain went  completely nuts.  The weather began to go downhill Friday evening but fortunately let up enough Saturday morning about the time our plane was due to land.  This was the view out of the front window of their home Saturday afternoon….looking north. Riding out a “no name” tropical storm on a barrier island can be…

    Some of My Favorites

    I may have mentioned a time or two that I went to the beach for a couple of days not too long ago.  🙂  You saw the house we stayed at and besides those,  I took many other photos while there.  A good deal of them were of the family and the kids that came down.  I have been working on those photos most of the day…picking out the best ones so I can burn a disk for my brother’s family.  While I’m taking a break from that…I thought I would show you a few of my favorites from the trip. My daughter (left) and her best friend.

    Outside My Window ~ 10.04.09

    Outside My Window…is a beautiful morning with blue skies and no clouds in sight.  The temps now are at about 68F at 9:45 a.m.  When I walked out the door this morning at 6:15, it was around 61F and dark.  I was off to Buckroe Beach this morning to renew my spirit and take some sunrise photos.  When I arrived, it was at that moment in the morning when it is neither dark nor light…..that morning twilight period.  Beautiful.  In front of me, a sunrise waiting to happen, at my back was a beautiful full moon that had recently risen over the horizon.  There were not many people around….a few…
