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…

Gulf Shores State Park Pier in a Storm
Last week, a storm swept through the Gulf Shores area, bringing rain and fog, ideal for low contrast photography. The Gulf State Park Pier was closed for repairs from Hurricane Sally, expected to reopen in summer 2024. Despite the weather, the area remains a beautiful, accessible beach destination.

Last of Summer a Beach in Gulf Shores

When life turns into a checklist of task items the thing that loses out, at least in my life, is always the creativity of reading, writing, photography, poetry, contemplation, prayer, games, music, and so on. Many…

Weekly Photo Challenge Merge
It didn’t take me as long to come up with an image for “merge” this week as a part of the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge (Merge), but it also looks like one of the more popular posts from the traffic as well. A sunrise might be a little more cliché than my previous posts, but…

Picnic in Parc Nautique France Summer of 1993
In an attempt to keep trying to make my blog well rounded in the four categories, along with keeping a mix of light and heavy posts, I decided this morning to bring back my Throwback Thursday posts (at least for this week). When my son was younger (he is late 20’s now) he use to…

God, Wind, Surfers, and Some Photography
There is nothing quite like the power of God as seen through an incoming storm on the ocean. This week we planned on spending a few days in-between our two fall semesters down at the gulf, and of course there was a strong remnant of a hurricane from the Pacific on its way over right…

LOVE > KNOWLEDGE
What do we strive for that lasts? Nothing that moths and rust can destroy of course. So, taking the “treasures” out of the topic for the moment, I would personally hold knowledge and love about as high as they can go but Paul (among others) tells us of the two, love is the greater. Through…

Photos From Gulf Shores State Park Beaches
I finally got around to editing some of the photos from our camping trip last weekend. We stayed at Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores Alabama, just down the road from where we use to live in Orange Beach at Bearpoint Marina. This state park is one of the larger ones, but a little less…

On the Beach Again with the Whole Family :: Friday Feet
Last weekend Deb and I went back down to Gulf Shores for a quick camping trip. Â Of course, being that we were camping we had no Internet access (at least non-cellular) which was weird, so I have some catching up to do on my blog. Â I haven’t missed a Friday Feet post since I started…
