  •   Primitive anxieties in a "modern" world. Simpler when you can see the predator, and not some elusive shadow from the past.   How to cope?   Trust what you have learned, what you know is true.   Wait it out.   Look around you and believe what you see, not what you feel.  …

  •     The sun setting and the moon rising…     Everything back in place for now!           St. Augustine Beach, March 4th, 2015.    

  •   The other day at the beach, there was a pelican sitting in the water minding her own business, who would stretch her long neck and reach into the water. Then she would point her beak up to the sky revealing a full gullet, swallow and go on minding her own business.      …

  •                 Love letters on Flagler's Fishing Pier.

  •   What a difference a day makes. 24 little hours!     This is true for many things, but in this case it was the weather in Florida! 77 degrees, and surf's up!         Flagler beach from the Flagler Fishing pier, Sunday, February 22nd, 2015.  

  •   Look West for the Crescent Moon and Venus and Mars this evening, just after sunset. Should be beautiful, if your aren't under a sky of clouds!               Photo from the archives, September, 2013, the Moon and Venus!  

  •     It isn't really how BIG your friends are, it's how big they are in your heart.     And they don't have to be going in the same direction as you either. And they might have a goofy grin, but love works, it just does.                …

  •     Big sky, big beach, big wind, big day,  big life…         St. Augustine Beach, 10 days ago, before the sun came back.  

  •     High Surf Advisory: Coastal Hazard Statement     These words are music to a surfer's ears.   And wonderful to watch from the safety of the shore, the wind blowing back the spray of the elegant swells.   Wild horses, indeed.       St. Augustine Beach, just one of those days!
