A Sad Reminder About Nature

Those of you who’ve read this blog much know what a total tree-hugging nature nut I am. No doubt, you love Mother Nature as much as I do. Having said that, the natural world with all its awe-inspiring beauty and diversity is like anything… Continue Reading “A Sad Reminder About Nature”

One quick beach vignette

Just as I was leaving the beach, I noticed this couple spreading out their beach blanket. Getting ready to stake their claim to one tiny sliver of sand on the Florida shore. I thought it would make for a decent photograph. I hope you… Continue Reading “One quick beach vignette”

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”

Another Triumphant Trimble Trip!

I just can’t get enough of Trimble Park. As you may remember, it’s a very nice park right where Orange and Lake counties meet. Although it’s actually in the very small Orange county town of Tangerine, that tiny hamlet does not deliver mail, so… Continue Reading “Another Triumphant Trimble Trip!”

Why I really love libraries!

Here’s the short list of why I really love libraries! Libraries are a place to borrow books on almost every conceivable subject and digital media of any kind–including, but not limited to–CD’s, DVD’s and instructional media on a wide variety of subjects and areas… Continue Reading “Why I really love libraries!”

Photo of a random ship

I know what you’re thinking! What a lame title for a blog posting! Okay. You got me… But somehow, it seems to fit. This just might have been one of my worst photo sessions at the beach. Ever! But somehow, I like this pic.… Continue Reading “Photo of a random ship”
