The beach has been heavenly in Florida for the past few weeks. The weather has been perfect…slightly cool and sunny. I’ve spent many hours walking up and down Caspersen in Venice, FL. It is always intriguing how certain things wash up in clusters that do not wash up at other times at all. Somedays it is starfish. Others it might be crab bits. Or these beautiful iridescent fan clams that form hearts when open.
Scientifically they are called Pinnidae and are a taxonomic family of large saltwater clams sometimes known as pen shells. They are marine bivalve molluscs in the order Pterioida.
I just think they are “love”ly…

It’s beach weather again. In Florida we really do not get definitive season changes, except in the Spring. Fall comes and goes without any fanfare. Winter just brings some cooler days. Summer is just hot. But sometime in March everything comes alive with color! The oaks are almost fluorescent green! Bougainvilleas and azaleas burst in dots and cascades in shades of fuchsia in every yard. And by the ocean….the sweet beautiful sea….The sea grape leaves turn many shades of red, orange and yellow. It’s a happy time for this color junkie. 🙂

Is it beach weather yet? Unfortunately….no. It’s been dipping into the 30’s and 40’s lately and the wind has been making it feel even colder. These are the last images I have taken of my beloved Caspersen beach in Venice, FL. It calls to me, but I must wait…

The beach is really inspiring me. Spending so much time on the ocean has got my creative juices running over! Enjoy!

In Florida that is. 🙂 We’ve got another few weeks before the water is too cold to swim in comfortably and another few months before the wind and cold will make walking on it only for the die hards (yeah that would be me, but not my husband). So I am off!

I’ve been busy making some changes in my life. I am no longer following the same routine each day and changing things up to keep it fresh! Much to my great surprise, I have discovered that “walking away” from my job for 1, 2, 3 or even 4 days hasn’t changed my sales at all. So I am planning a lot more “me” time this year. 🙂 I know that a more relaxed and happier me will make a better artist for all of my fans.

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….
