So it begins…

With a boom.

A flash.

A downpour.

Summer.

Yesterday while out driving around with my Hubby looking for places to take some pictures, we stumbled across a parking lot filled with vintage Porsche’s.  What a sight to see!  And best of all, the show was over and there were hardly any people about.  We had free reign to take as many shots as we pleased without any pesky humans in the way. 🙂  

Whenever I see one of these old classics, I think of my crazy uncle.  Doesn’t everyone have a “crazy uncle”?  Well I do.  And if you are reading this, you are mine Uncle Rick. 😉  

When I was around 13 years old and staying with my cousin for a week up in the hills of Georgia, my Uncle Rick thought it would be great fun to teach me how to drive.  Now that sounds like a pretty normal thing to do right?  Normal unless you consider that he put me behind the wheels of a 1954 Porsche Speedster that he had lovingly restored to absolute perfection.  It was a beautiful thing.  

All went well until he told me to not be afraid to put on the gas.  I listened like a good student.  It was a wild and crazy ride through winding roads.  I had driven a stick shift once before, so hey, I was practically a pro.  My memory gets a bit sketchy, but all of a sudden I took a curve way too fast and didn’t correct myself.  Uncle Rick grabs the wheel to help me correct and next thing we know we are smashed into an embankment of dirt.  That’s right.  I wrecked my Uncle’s shiny Porsche.  While I am sitting there drenched in sweat and trying to find my lungs again, I hear cackling.  Laughter.  Crazy insane guffawing.  He thought it was an absolute riot!  He told me to start it back up and keep going.  

Yesterday I was reminded of that time and of him.  And the thought occurred to me that maybe there was some wisdom in that wild ride.  Perhaps Uncle Rick wasn’t so crazy after all.  What he taught me was that “things” were just “things” and that the experience and people were far more important than an expensive car.  He also showed me that it was o.k. to let go of fear and just move forward. And lastly, that no matter how scary and crazy life gets….even if you crash sometimes……you can just start it back up and keep going. Broken and bruised……you can still enjoy the ride….

When I take photographs, I like to either find a story or have the piece ask a question. Palm trees are everywhere in Florida and there is no great mystery to them.  But this one was all alone and one of the tallest palms I have ever seen.  High into the clouds….what is happening below?  There could be lovers sitting and chatting.  A dog could be asleep.  A bike could be propped up against it’s trunk.  It could be right on the ocean or in a parking lot.  The vibrant blue sky reveals nothing.  What story do you see?

It’s that time a year again in Florida….hurricane season!  We start logging into NOAA daily to see what is forming off of the coast of Africa.  We listen to the news a little more closely and when the warning is issued we stock up on canned goods, water and batteries.  I’ve lived in this beautiful state my entire life and I have survived many nasty storms including major hurricanes. These things are quite humbling….you realize just how powerful Mother Nature really is.  But I would not live anywhere else…..I just keep an eye on the sky….
