  • First Car

        My first car, a 1968 VW Beatle, which, according to the Car Talk guys, Click and Clack, is less safe than the least safe car manufactured today. (It was great in the snow though!)   My point is once again to be extra careful on the road. People are distracted and stressed and…

  • Just Ducky

        If the world is coming to an end in a couple of days, do you have your ducks in a row?   What can that possibly mean if it all ends?   After all, don't you always do the best that you can on any given day?   So relax, either it will…

  • I Hope She’s Not Driving

        Seeing double? It's not you, it's the photographer.   I just hope that she's not driving.       Vilano Beach, St. Augustine   Related articles Dressing of the Palms in Vilano Beach something to celebrate

  • The Moon Smiled

        The sun came out today for a little while and the moon smiled!     It was a Cheshire grin!       Crescent moon off the deck, Sunday, December 16th, 2012, St. Augustine, Florida.  

  • Life’s Like That!

        A little grass, some pine needles, and the reflection of sky and trees – all kinds of life going on beneath the surface too, unseen yet thriving.   Life's like that, all kinds of things going on!       Reflections at Guana River State Park, Florida   

  • A Trick of the Eye

        The pavilion at the beach is enshrouded in a dense fog that alters reality. Can you see the two UFO's, and the false sun? (Trust your instruments, they do not lie.) It's a trick of the eye.     St. Augustine Beach, Tuesday evening, 12/11/12.  

  • Drink It Up!

        If the energy that propelled the universe into existence is love, and there is a unique alignment of energies on a day such as 12/12/12, then love is in the air in a profound sense and we might as well drink it up in big gulps!   Here's to love, to life!  …

  • Clear Eyed

        Clear eyed. Swift. Focused.   After an osprey dives from sky to river or ocean to catch her dinner, she shakes herself in mid air to loosen the water from her feathers, all the while a fish is squirming in her clutches, wondering what just happened!     Osprey, St. Augustine.

  • Safe and Loved

        Safe enough to sleep wherever exhaustion steals you away and to know that you are surrounded by family and friends.   Faith that you are loved and accepted for who you are and that you can love like that too, without expectations.   And a heart big enough to see the blessings wrapped…

  • In The Wind

      One of my first (and favorite) sarongs, blowing in the wind.
