Fave Fotos: Wekiva Springs State Park is So Beautiful

Enjoyed camping at Wekiva Springs State Park for two nights this week. Had a very good time. Would have been even better had Mother Nature not soaked us pretty good the first day. The first night, actually. Oh well. This is my fave foto… Continue Reading “Fave Fotos: Wekiva Springs State Park is So Beautiful”

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”

Hurricane Matthew: I’m Not Your BFF!

I’m doing what all Floridians are doing today: hunkering down in my apartment, waiting for Hurricane Matthew to pass. I starting preparing a few weeks ago. I’ve always stashed batteries, candles and that sort of thing; I’ve got battery-powered lanterns aplenty, a good digital… Continue Reading “Hurricane Matthew: I’m Not Your BFF!”

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”

Florida: The Punchline State – WSJ

Bulldog barks: I love Dave Barry. Read one his columns for the first time at least 30 years ago and I swear he’s even funnier these days. If you spend three minutes reading Dave’s explanation about why the Sunshine State is so damn weird–funny… Continue Reading “Florida: The Punchline State – WSJ”

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: Loved the Yard, Loved the Deck

Loved that yard. Spent a couple of thousand hours mowing, trimming, clipping and pruning over many, many years. We had a deck put in about six years ago. Don’t have the house anymore but here’s a photo of the deck and two Adirondack chairs… Continue Reading “Fave Fotos: Loved the Yard, Loved the Deck”

Set Your Sail for The Old Fish House in Cocoa Beach

Note: this review of mine was originally published awhile back on a well-known travel site. Not a new review but I liked this place then and I still do!   There are so many chain restaurants in every American city and they certainly seem… Continue Reading “Set Your Sail for The Old Fish House in Cocoa Beach”

Fave Fotos: Sky Over Cocoa Beach on a Lovely Afternoon

This is a photo I look about four years ago one afternoon. Yes, that would be a shot of some extraordinarily blues skies over Cocoa Beach. This is a photo I love especially; it serves as my desktop theme from time-to-time. So many good… Continue Reading “Fave Fotos: Sky Over Cocoa Beach on a Lovely Afternoon”
