  • Who’s Waiting For You?

        In many seaside towns there are sculptures of families waiting…   They say that we all have someone waiting on that distant shore, ready to meet us. I guess we won't know for sure until our time comes, but there are a couple of dogs and cats that I would love to see…

  • Something Grand

        The Grand Canyon, one of our National Treasures. It takes your breath away when you stand on the rim, and literally when you hike into it!   You feel at once grand and so small, a wonderful justaposition of feelings.       Photo by Paula Post. (Thanks Paula!)

  • In Praise of Photography, or …Me, I need a camera!

        Saturday evening as I was driving along US 1, there was a beautiful sunset over the marsh, next to the railroad tracks.   A storm was moving away that created a low ceiling or shelf that by and by was gray and then golden and then a wonderful sunset glow of oranges and…

  • Your Next President

        "On further reflection, and after careful consideration, I believe it would be in your very best interest, for so many reasons that I can't go into here, to make me your *nest president.   You won't be sorry.       *Some typos are irresistible! The Great Blue Heron, for president!  

  • Dancing Molecules

        Dancing molecules around the harbor, water everywhere.   Light gray, dark gray and my favorite, payne's gray, and silvery fish slicing the surface in a frenzy as sailboats swing on their moorings.   A calm and lovely evening.     St. Augustine Harbor, and the Bridge of LIons.

  • Cause A Riot

        What can you say about things that change colors and cause riots?   Wish I could do that!       Boston Ivy, one of my favorite vines.

  • If Life Is A Dream…

        If life is "but a dream," then the paradox is that the only way to realize this is to wake up!       Spanish moss hanging from the trees in Blue Spring State Park, Florida.  

  • Unexpected

        Sometimes, when your plans don't work out the way that you had hoped, if you follow your nose to the beach, you might be treated to some fabulous rides on your boogie board, and an unexpected sunset.   Not too shabby for another day on earth.   Just sayin'.     St. Augustine…

  • Are You Real?

      Mom, is that a real lizard?
