Happy Moon Day 2018, Folks!

Yes, it is National Moon Day today. We observe it on July 20th each year because Neil Armstrong first walk on the Moon’s surface on this date back in 1969. And, yes, I do remember exactly what I was doing on the day! I… Continue Reading “Happy Moon Day 2018, Folks!”

Quick beach trip, two photos

I did make a quick beach excursion yesterday and took about 60 shots. It was cloudy and rained intermittently. That was good in that it kept the crowds from getting out of hand, which is a thing here in Florida all throughout the summer.… Continue Reading “Quick beach trip, two photos”

Lori Wilson Park might be…

My fave park in Cocoa Beach is Lori Wilson Park, adjoining the beach. Right off A1A. And it just might be the the best spot in the very cool town of Cocoa Beach for outdoor freaks like me. There are plenty of things to… Continue Reading “Lori Wilson Park might be…”

Peter Pelican is cruising north

When I get to the beach with that camera in my hand, I see a lot of gulls. They’re featured very prominently on this blog. I don’t get pelicans that often. They’re faster than gulls and tend to dive-bomb a lot, so getting good… Continue Reading “Peter Pelican is cruising north”

Crowded Beach, Serene Beachscape

I made it out to the beach yesterday and, yes, it was just a bit crowded! But, it’s June in Florida, so that’s just how that works! When beachgoers are almost on top of each other, it’s not my fave time to head for… Continue Reading “Crowded Beach, Serene Beachscape”

Honey, I forgot to duck!

…said Ben never! But enough silliness! Some of you may remember when that somewhat unusual phrase was uttered by Ronald Reagan back in the early ’80s. I’ve never said that, because when I’m around waterfowl of any variety, I whip out the camera and… Continue Reading “Honey, I forgot to duck!”

Downey Park revisited

I had a little idle time this afternoon and started thinking about how I’ve had few opps to get out of the house lately. It wasn’t a good feeling. I started looking through some of the folders for pix on my hard drive and… Continue Reading “Downey Park revisited”

The Invasion of the Mermaids!

While i was at work Thursday evening, I noticed that a guest was checking out two of the Mermaids found on one of our displays in the store. Then I noticed that the guest was sporting a mermaid tattoo on her left arm. I… Continue Reading “The Invasion of the Mermaids!”
