Jimmy Hula’s. Fish Tacos. Beer. Good Crew.

I visited the Jimmy Hulu’s on Aloma Ave in Winter Park this week. Bottom line: I liked it. In a review a month or so ago of a different Winter Park eatery, I told the world that the fish tacos in that well-known and… Continue Reading “Jimmy Hula’s. Fish Tacos. Beer. Good Crew.”

Fave Fotos — Yes, It’s a Beach Shot Again!

This trip was way too much fun. I learned that Long Point Park and camp ground is a really primo spot for a get-away. Of course, about a bah-jillion other nature lovers and campers agree about that. So it’s good to try to book… Continue Reading “Fave Fotos — Yes, It’s a Beach Shot Again!”

Slow and Low-The Best Damn Barbecue in Cocoa Beach

Note: this review of mine is taken from a visit in April of 2015 and originally appeared on a well-known travel site. My latest visit to this island of barbecue perfection was five days ago, and they’re still the best on the beach!  This… Continue Reading “Slow and Low-The Best Damn Barbecue in Cocoa Beach”

Final Fave Foto: Meet My New Gull Friend

Ol’ Bulldog here has been known as the Gull Whisperer for a while now. I’m often amazed at how well they pose for me, and — as I’ve noted before on this blog — you never have to get them to sign a photo… Continue Reading “Final Fave Foto: Meet My New Gull Friend”

Fave Fotos: More from This Week’s Beach Trip

Liked the last one, so here are a few others from that batch. There truly is nothing I’d rather do than head over to the shore. If you live in Florida and don’t get out there to enjoy the sun and surf pretty regularly,… Continue Reading “Fave Fotos: More from This Week’s Beach Trip”

Fave Fotos: Had Plenty o’ Fun at the Beach This Week

Made it out to the beach twice in this last week! How cool is that?! With a little luck and wise budgeting, I’ll be out there again in the very near future. Yay! I’m featuring one of my fave fotos from this recent excursion.… Continue Reading “Fave Fotos: Had Plenty o’ Fun at the Beach This Week”

Fave Fotos: Made It Back to the Beach on Sunday

I did get back to the beach yesterday, it had been way too long. It’s still summer down here in the Sunshine State. Although the too-hot temps were no fun, I had a good time. This would be my fave foto from this outing.… Continue Reading “Fave Fotos: Made It Back to the Beach on Sunday”

Fave Fotos: Mr. Pelican Broods in the Surf

It’s so true that gulls and pelicans make marvelous photo subjects. Here’s a pensive pelican from Brevard County who didn’t stay in this pose very long. I think I was just a bit too close for comfort and he took to flight. I got… Continue Reading “Fave Fotos: Mr. Pelican Broods in the Surf”

Fave Fotos: When Seagulls Attack!

I love this photo. Took it at Cocoa Beach a few months ago. Once in a while an amateur shutterbug like me gets lucky. Maybe in life it really is all about the timing. Hope you like it. By the way, the main reason… Continue Reading “Fave Fotos: When Seagulls Attack!”
