    For full screen display, click on the individual photograph I spend my winter in Florida. I do not lay out on the beach, play golf or have a desire to fracture my bones playing pickleball, I am always looking for something to do, especially if there are photographs involved. A…

  2. Ybor City

    2024-03-01 12:43:12 UTC
    My first visit to Tampa was only two days, and considering that I usually like to spend up to two months on trips,  it was more of a drive by. I heard about Ybor City so I took the trolly, which is free by the way, from downtown Tampa to…

  3. Elevated

    For largest display, click on the individual photo Back in the last century taking a dramatic photograph from a building’s rooftop wasn’t a problem. It took a courteous conversation with the property management, assurance that I had liability coverage and a good reason why that particular venue was important for…

  4. Cure for a cloudy day

    2024-02-19 13:53:14 UTC
    People move to Florida for two reasons, tax breaks and the weather. Assuming the first reason is issue free, the weather down here in Florida can be stunning with blue skies and moderate humidity, hot and humid, rainy and humid, and my favorite for killing any desire to go outdoors,…

    You might remember I surveyed readers about ideas for the blog. Someone suggested themes. So I scanned my photos for something that recurs often enough to be considered a theme. Here is my first offering, bicycles Click on individual photo for largest display Bicycles as a subject have always fascinated…

  7. Beachside stroll

    Are they biting? Who cares? This is my 8th winter in South Florida.  I usually get down here the beginning of November when the notorious heat and humidity are tapering off. It used to be that by Thanksgiving it was sunny with moderate temps and low humidity, not any more.…

  8. Happy, Merry

    2023-12-24 10:43:45 UTC
    Christmas is here once again, which means New Year’s is a few days away. Time to take stock and plan a path forward. I start with getting the clutter off my desk,  organize my equipment cabinet and get junk out of miscellaneous drawers. You may have similar plans.  As far…

Others, like those below, retain their photographic quality but…

    2023-12-13 13:14:49 UTC
    For me, 2023 was a year of travel, and for the most part, except flying, I enjoyed all of it, even the rainy days. I won’t deny that at times it was tiring when 20 years ago that was never the case, make of that what you will.  Now it…
