  • Time For Play

        Pelicans coasting up and down on the air currents, as graceful as anything that flies.   Watching them reminds me to relax and lighten up. They seem to know that life is meant to be enjoyed and that there's time enough for the important things, and that play is one of those important…

  • Simple Pleasures

        Sunset off the deck after mostly cloudy days. It lasts only a few moments, but fills the heart to overflowing.      

  • Rusty

        The story of sea spray and sand and wind and rain on the pier piling.       St. Augustine Beach Pier, exposed!
