July 4th was a busy day for us.  We were up at 5:30 am to head to the beach to watch the sunrise.  I was going to photograph the sunrise and Richard was going to take his paddle board out on a very flat east side ocean.  Kind of made me think of the gulf. After that Amy and Richard decided to go kayak. …

This past month we had a staff retreat at the home where we traditionally have our Christmas luncheon.  Every year I take my camera with me, except this year.  I decided I was not going to.  There are only so many things you can take in the garden.  Mmm, maybe not my best decision.  Out in the garden was an enormous amount of orchids…

Within driving distance of where we live are two created wetlands.  It is a natural habitat for nesting birds, and of course spring is nesting time.  For the longest time we had a variety of birds, Great Blue Heron, Anhinga, Cormorant, Cattle Egret, Great Egret etc.  Somehow the secret got out to the Woodstork and they have become the major nesting bird.  I always…

So last weekend Amy and I headed south to a Scottish Festival.  There is a wee bit of Scottish history in our family on my father’s side of the family.  They emigrated to Australia, and then story goes that my…

Where did the month go?  Can you believe we are already in February.  January saw us take a quick trip down to Key West.  As I mentioned in my previous blog, Amy came home after 27 months away and Daniel came with her.  What I did not know when writing last months blog that they would get engaged.  We are very happy for both…

I recently joined up to a new project – 10 images on the 10th.  The objective of this group is to post 10 images on the 10th of the month. Living in South Florida, and growing up all my life at the beach in South Africa, sunrises are always something that take my breath away.  I will confess that I hate waking up in…
