  • A Year Ago

        This photograph keeps coming up, wanting to be shared, so, today I am sharing it.   Hope you enjoy it.       Taken August 10th, 2012, St. Augustine Beach.

  • Quiet Evening

        A quick stop at the beach after yoga and there are dolphins gracefully travelling south, while the sun sets over the beach,     and the moon smiles…             St. Augustine Beach, it's good to be home.

A sweet sunset that stretches out over the ocean. On the way back, a lovely labyrinth, gladly walked, and a young boy with his…

  • Golden

        Balancing on a surfboard with a paddle is challenging enough. This guy takes his dog along!   It is pure joy watching them.   The furry one, in his excitement, manages to walk the length of the board, going through his companion's legs to get to the back! Only once did he knock…

  • Holy Clouds

        Cloudy days have their beauty, especially when the sun finds a way to shine through.   Here's to all the "clouds" in our lives being holy!       St. Augustine bay front, shot from the Bridge of Lions.
