Sunrise over the Matanzas

Sunrise this morning over the Matanzas River from Old Town St. Augustine, Florida.

At the Playground

Like most boys his age, my son loves to go to the playground. Today's photo of him was taken a few weeks back during a visit to the playground at Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando. This is one of our favorite playgrounds with lots of neat equipment. He loves it so much that anytime we visit family in Orlando, he pleads to make a stop here.

Glacier Under Overcast Sky

Glacier Bay, Alaska.

Contrasting Glaciers - Glacier Bay, Alaska

Another photo from Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska.

One of the things II find interesting in this photo is the contrast between the dark flow in the foreground (which has so much rock and sediment entrained) and the white one in the background.

Earth and Ice - Glacier Bay, Alaska

From a photo, it is hard to comprehend the immensity of a glacier. In this image, you can see water rushing from within the glacier, dark from the silts and sediments it carries. To the left of the cavern from which the water is gushing, you can see a block of bluish ice. From my memory of this scene, that block of ice was easily as tall as a man.

Glacier, Alaska

Jumping around a bit this past week...Guam, Florida, California and now Alaska. I think the cold weather this morning inspired this leap. Maybe a theme for the next week?

Anyway, this photo was taken during a cruise along the Inside Passage of Alaska last July onboard the Sapphire Princess. I know, tough conditions to endure, but some sacrifices have to be made to see such breathtaking locations. I believe this image was taken in Glacier Bay.

Tired Puppy

This photo is of a friends tired puppy was taken last year while visiting Highland Hammocks State Park, Sebring, Florida.

Osprey in Pine Tree

Osprey are fairly common around the coastal areas of St. Augustine, Florida. This photo was taken several weeks ago from our backyard of an Osprey which was eating its meal in a pine tree on the property adjacent to where we live.

Guam Coastline, Micronesia

I don't recall the name of this area of the Guam coastline captured in this image but it was breathtaking for sure.

The Fish Eye, Guam, Micronesia

Today's photo is from the entrance to the pier that leads to the Fish Eye. The Fish Eye is a marine observatory at the end of a 1000' long pier which extends out into Piti Bay. A portion of the observatory is underwater in the "Piti Bomb Hole". Through windows that run around the circumference of the observatory, you can view the diverse marine life found on the surrounding reef. In a nut shell a really cool spot.

Virtually all structures in Guam are made from concrete in order to withstand the wind forces produced by "Super Typhoons".

Dog on Beach

This photo of a dog on the beach was taken from the Matanzas Inlet bridge along A1A in Crescent Beach, Florida. He was out on a walk with his owner (chasing sea birds from the shoreline) and stopped to take a look at the guy on the bridge.

Tricolored Heron

This photo of a Tricolored Heron was taken at twilight during a visit to the St. Augustine Alligator Farm. A strobe was used to and some fill lighting.
