Happy New Year – This is the first time we are posting in 2018.  I had a very busy start to the new year, rushing around showing our visitor the sights.  For downtime, while they were all sleeping, I took my macro lens and headed off to the wetlands.  I just wanted to do some walking and see how much I could manage.  Walking is slow.  My feet still hurt but I did manage to get all the way around the wetland – about 1.5 miles.

The wetlands are rather quiet and the macro is useless for bird photography so I played with light and tried to see what I would come up with.

This is a circle blog and I am looking forward to seeing what everyone else has got up to this month.  Follow the link here to see what Mindy of Orange Moon Photography has for you this month, Don’t forget to leave a little love on their pages.

Can you believe it –  we are almost at the end of January.  This has been a busy couple of months for us.  Amy came back from her 2 years with the Peace Corp and along with her came her boyfriend, Daniel.  So since mid December we have been trying to show him something of South Florida.  Today I am going to share my 30 minutes plus a few extra of our time visiting Kennedy Space Center in January.

Believe it or not, in the 17 years that we have lived in Florida, we have not been to Kennedy Space Center.  Cameron and Amy may have gone with school or with friends but Richard and I have not.  I was a little nervous as to how I was going to manage the walking.  And it was a fair amount but rests in-between did help.  We decided to head out on the bus tour straight away before the crowds arrived and we had long waits.  So my share today is from the Apollo/Saturn V Center.  It was very interesting to hear the history and to see this incredible piece of machinery.  However, I have to say if there is a cable problem I would not like to be the person fixing it.

Some of the images were taken during the video presentations and some of the rocket display. On that note I will say I love the Canon 6D with its amazing low light capabilities – no flash was used to take any of these photos.

After watching the video on the history of the Apollo/Saturn V we then meandered into a huge open area where the rocket was housed.

After walking through the rocket display area we took in a short presentation on the landing on the moon.

Last but not least, I could not resist taking this “Christmas” image of the two of them.

There were areas of great interest and some areas that I felt were a waste of time.  I am not a big fan of waiting in long lines especially with sore feet and it was good to sit down and watch a 45 minute movie and rest my poor feet.  That said Daniel enjoyed his day at Kennedy, and that was all that really mattered.

Lynne is our newest member, joining us at the end of November.  She chose the theme this month and I cannot wait to see what everyone shares.  Her choice was {Winter Light}.

This past week Richard, Amy and Daniel went for a cycle ride in the Loxahatchee National Park and I ended up meeting them there so capture the sunset.  This is the winter light in South Florida.
