Bright Spring Colors Are Here
Spring has arrived in full force now. Down here that means in about a week, summer should be here and be baking us alive. At this point already have the air conditioning running, but it’s nice to say goodbye to the cold. This is a busy season in our area. Baseball is in mid-season form…

First Iris Blooms of Spring Are Here
The first official Iris blooms of Spring have arrived in our garden! Winter here always feels too cold and too long for how far south we live. But every year about this time we remember how quickly things start to bloom and warm up. If you were to look at the hardiness zones for gardens…

A Walk in the Park with Claude
It is finally starting to warm back up in the Deep South. And never a minute too soon either. Every time we think cooler weather might be nice and it goes below 60°F we remember that cold is not our thing. This week baseball is back and temps are in the 80°s so it’s getting…

Driving Around Florida Day 8
Our last day of driving got us to a great lunch spot at Lake Eufaula’s Lakepoint State Park Marina. It took me a lot longer to get to the edit for the last day than all the other days combined, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Here are a few of the shots from that…

A Walk Along the Chattahoochee River
I’m taking a brief interlude to my posts around Florida today to remember a brief moment on a normal routine day. Last week, on the way to the store, I passed a boat ramp parking lot I’ve been to many times before that runs along the Chattahoochee River. As I drove by I briefly thought…

Driving Around Florida Day 7
On Day 7 we were greeted with the rudest change in weather from the most beautiful 76° just 12 hours earlier to something near 30-40 mph winds and cold in the 45° range. No matter, I decided I wasn’t going to let a little wind deter me from my morning walk with a cup of…

Driving Around Florida Day 6
The Florida Turnpike was the bulk of our driving on Day 6, and there is a lot of Turnpike toll roads throughout Central Florida. This day we drove the bulk of Central Florida all the way to St. Augustine, which is just south of the big city of Jacksonville. Interestingly, St. Augustine was founded by…

Driving Around Florida Day 5
Today I’m on to Day 5 of our trip around Florida, which took us from nearby Homestead up the central part of the state to Lake Okeechobee. If you have never seen Lake Okeechobee, it is the closest thing there is to one of the Great Lakes only in the Southern U.S., meaning it is…

Driving Around Florida Day 4
Our Day 4 in the Florida Keys started as a nearly magical morning, to use an overused phrase. We woke up on the ocean, in an incredible 72° humid-air breeze coming in through our vent fan. Silent except for the lapping water on the shore. I grabbed a cup of coffee and headed out to…

Yearly Recap 2025: All In
Every year around this time I put together a single post to add to my set of Yearly Recap Albums. I started doing this as a way to take a more objective view of my photography, and to remind myself that photography isn’t based on what you shot yesterday, but what you have done concisely…
