  • The Beach…

      There is a ton of debris and the St. Augustine Beach Pier is still closed, but we are survivors, we, who love the beach…   The Atlantic's back porch… Yoga? Anyone?   It's still dangerous to swim, but people were swimming and surfing and kite surfing.   Bless us all.

      Front Tire in the Atlantic…     Me thinks that I may have stumbled upon the very festive, celebratory final leg of a coast to coast bicycle run.   Happy guys putting their bikes in the salty Atlantic!!!   And a bottle of Champagne!   WOW!         St, Augustine Beach, yesterday!

  • Paradise?

        The Bahamas? Maybe. But here in St. Augustine we have the best beaches!             The Bahamas, and St. Augustine Beach, July 2016.      

  • Your Core

      Is there a part of you that is the essence of who you are? A part that is not corrupted by the culture that you grew up in or the family that tortured you one way or the other?   I call it your core. It is pure, whole, and located just below your…

  • What the World Needs Now…

        Connection… with our natural world, with the beauty that is all around us, and with each other.   Love and Kindness             Guana Tolomato Matanzas Research Reserve. Ponte Vedre, Florida.
