I’ve had a lot more time to get outdoors here in sunny Florida lately. We love to kayak down the Myakka River and saw this amazing creature recently…Gators tend to stay far away from humans, so we never feel scared. But I do appreciate a zoom lens! Go gators!

Green is one of my favorite colors (aren’t they all…)! There is something about the way the sun illuminates leaves, spears and fronds. It’s a tropical delight here in coastal Florida. The plants are so lush this time of year. The succulent agave stand tall and proud. I wish I could adequately capture Mother Nature’s pallet with my paintbrush. This is a photograph taken exactly as this agave appeared in the bright sunlight….

The Summer sun is particularly brutal this time of year in Florida. Temperatures soar and it is nearly impossible to spend time outside during the hottest part of the day. As I head back to my retreat after a long walk along the ocean, I am always stuck by how parched and dead everything is on the dunes. It looks brittle and bare. But there are these little bursts of color dotting the landscape. Yellow flowers that withstand the most demanding months of Summer. The Beach Sunflower……Summer’s brightest!
I will be away for awhile….see you when I get back!

I’ve got the Summer blues. I am not talking about the sad kind. I am referring to the azure skies and blue aqua tint of the ocean waves of Florida. There is also the deeper blue gray of rain in the distance that tends to come around 5:00 pm each day. I am in Venice right now enjoying the salty air and cooler breezes that provide the only reprieve from the stifling heat. This morning we went out and swam in the choppy swells. The temperature was perfect and the sun was hidden behind the clouds for a few hours. I would apologize for my frequent absences from my blog, marketing and work in general. But I am far from sorry. I’ve worked hard for this and can finally live the life I’ve always envisioned. I am spending as much time as possible at the beach this year. It’s just heavenly…

When I was a little girl, I was fascinated with photography. I had my little Kodak Ektra camera and I would take quick snaps everywhere I went. The most exciting part of the process was always going to the drug store to pick up the developed photographs. Back then there was no one hour photo. It took about 5 days and the anticipation would drive me crazy! I would constantly ask my Mom if they were ready yet. Then I would revel at the surprise shot. The one that wasn’t anticipated. A casual shot that turned out to be a “wow”. Today it isn’t much different. I still take snaps wherever I go whenever something catches my eye. And then when I get home, the anticipation of downloading them on my computer is the same as when I was young. The only difference is now I wait mere minutes instead of days. Recently I had a beach getaway where I took over 300 shots and this was the “surprise”…the “wow” shot….
