Fave Fotos: A Florida Beach in May

Sometimes I take a photo I like so well that it can be good material for a post all by itself. The banner photo is one of those. It’s from a trip we made about two weeks ago. It was just when beaches became… Continue Reading “Fave Fotos: A Florida Beach in May”

Quick Trip Back to the Beach

It had been about three months since I had made a beach visit. And that’s way too long. Because it’s been difficult — as well as risky, of course — to get to the shore, I’ve been eager to get some sand in my… Continue Reading “Quick Trip Back to the Beach”

Serenity is a Full Moon

Like all of you, I’ve been a bit stressed in the last month or so. And I was really looking for something that would help me banish the stress-monster for a moment or two. About 30 minutes ago, I noticed that a beautiful full… Continue Reading “Serenity is a Full Moon”

Wekiwa Springs in November

My traveling companion and I made a trip to Wekiwa Springs earlier this month. It was a great trip and we enjoyed it immensely. She had not seen it before; had not seen any of our fabulous State Parks here in the Sunshine State… Continue Reading “Wekiwa Springs in November”

Returning to Trimble Park

I made a camping reservation today to get back to one of my favorite spots to camp in all of Florida. I’m referring to Trimble Park, right were Orange and Lake counties meet. I’ve camped there three times and am delighted to be heading… Continue Reading “Returning to Trimble Park”

Today is National Arbor Day

More trees, please! Many folks and environmentally-focused organizations will be out planting trees today. I would love to be among them, but another evening at work is going to be my fate today. I think it’s a very good thing that there is a… Continue Reading “Today is National Arbor Day”
