The Recent Return to Moss Park Was a Success in Every Way

No, it wasn’t just about lots of butterfly pix. That was a real treat, for sure. Even if I’m the only one who thinks those photos constitute some really awesome camera work.

J’ai seulement vu un papillon la première fois

Friction Farm Touring Florida and Playing at Long Point Park

In my last posting, I gave a quick run-down of last week’s very cool visit to a fave camping spot, Long Point Park in Melbourne Beach.

Fave Fotos: Wekiva Springs State Park is So Beautiful

The first night, actually. Oh well. This is my fave foto… Continue Reading “Fave Fotos: Wekiva Springs State Park is So Beautiful”
