Well, it was actually the day after the “SuperMoon” but I still think it looked pretty super. In the earlier shots, where I didn’t get anything but blur,…

After awhile I started to see better results. I was still a bit off on my settings but my focus was getting much better.

I probably should have done a little research on camera settings before going out to try and capture the moon. But, I had taken moon shots before, out…

On Saturday, March 19th there was a “SuperMoon”- the largest full moon in over 18 years. I did not get this SuperMoon. Instead I went out on Sunday,…

As part of the boat tour you visit where Trapper Nelson lived. Trapper Nelson was a bit of an eccentric. I guess you would have to be to…

While we haven’t had much snow this month (we did have some flakes the other day) we have had a lot of rain. I like the little pond…

I like that there were some trails you could follow along the water. I started down one of these paths but it got too muddy and I had…

Once I made it through the field of mud I came out to the ocean. It was a very pretty sight to see.

On Sunday, March 6th we had unusually warm weather, it was in the low 60s. I was driving around running errands when I decided it was crazy to…

It’s been over 5 years that I have gone down to Florida with my parents. In all those years I never visited Jonathan Dickinson Park (my parents had…

Apparently, there are thousands of varieties of palm trees. Here are just two that I thought look really cool. Maybe it’s because we don’t have palm trees here…

Here we have a couple of the local homes in Stuart that we pass on our morning walk. As you can see one home is Steeler fans and…

The setting sun is always pretty, no matter where you are, but the really nice thing about the sunset in Florida, in early February, is that it’s about…

This shot was also taken from the new park that I showed last week. Besides people and dogs enjoying the park, it seems birds also enjoy the view.

In this shot we have most of the park. Lots of grass to lay a picnic blanket on and enjoy the view. On the other end of the…

I didn’t have matching shots from the walkway of the new park but I don’t think anything actually changed. The walkway was in really good condition and I…

Here we have the before and after views of the parking lot. I’m guessing they don’t want a lot of visitors at once as there are only about…

Here’s the before and after of the entrance to the park. I don’t think it will be much of a secret now that this leads to a park. 

For the past few years there was this little park we would go to that only the locals really knew about. You had to take a small path…

The $10 to get in to see the lighthouse was worth the price once you got to the top and looked out on this view. A couldn’t have…

I’ve mentioned before in a blog that I love the look of lighthouses. Probably because they are near the water and I love being near the ocean. In…

After leaving all the snowstorms of January behind us, it was heaven to see blue skies and warm weather. This is a pier off of Beach Blvd. in…

We had an extra day before we could get into the condo in Florida so we decided to stay a night in St. Augustine, Fl. I had never…

Arrived home from Florida yesterday. We had beautiful weather the whole time I was there, which really made it hard to come back home to below freezing temperatures. …

It’s hard to believe that today is my last full day in Florida. I head back to the snow and cold tomorrow morning. I couldn’t have asked for…

Yesterday we went to Johnathan Dickinson State Park and did a boat tour of the Loxahatchee River. While we didn’t see any lions we did see quite a…

Took this shot through the window on the commuter rail train. Happy to be on vacation this week and not having to wait outside for a train. I…

Apparently, we left for Florida at the perfect time. Everyday on the drive down we seemed to be one day ahead of the bad weather. We arrived yesterday…

Change of plan for yesterday…we couldn’t get into the condo until today so yesterday we stayed a night in St. Augustine to enjoy the scenery. The weather so…

Here’s a shot taken from last year. We walked about half way over one of the large bridges so I could take some shots from above. I’m not…

The day they let us out early from work I had about an hour to wait for a commuter train. I decided I might as well use that…

We had another storm last week. No snow day but they did let us out early. We also had more snow Friday during the commute and while we…

I love this little snowman! He put the biggest smile on my face when I saw him. So cute and the perfect size.

I just liked the look of the snow on the branches and the beautiful blue sky. I don’t think this image really captures how it looked. The light…

While it doesn’t look like the owner of this bike is going to be using it anytime soon I’ve been surprised at how many people I have seen…

We ended 2010 with a blizzard and started 2011 with a blizzard. With this blizzard I got a snow day which is always fun. I stayed with Mom…
