It’s Been a Good Year
It’s been a little over a year since I used the Oregon Trail to get OUT of Oregon and made my way to Florida. I must say it’s been one of the best years of my life. So much has changed and most of it for the better. Don’t get me wrong, I love Oregon and miss all the great people there, especially my family and my friends, but I can’t say my life would be as great as it is now had I stayed there. I had to leave a lot of things I love to move here, but in turn I discovered so many more things I never knew I loved. Some call it a leap of faith, others say they’re following their heart, their hopes, their dreams. Whatever it is, the biggest regret in life is the one of missed opportunity. It’s been a good year..as it says on the blimp in the picture here.
After the Storm
As promised, this is a photo taken just hours after the one in “The Perfect Storm” posted below. Both pictures were taken at the same place too I might add, my balcony. That’s a sliver of a toenail moon you see there.
Bearthday
Today’s a very important day for everyone on the planet. It’s a day to do good for the planet that gives you life. The day your are reminded to appreciate and respect Mother Nature, just like your own Mother. This photo was taken at my mother’s favorite place in Florida, a place she introduced me to when I snapped this photo. This is a pier on the Indian River in Melbourne Beach, just outside Djon’s Steak and Lobster house. Happy Birthday Mom, and Happy Earth Day to the rest of you.
Red for the White & Blue
You may notice most of my sunsets are shot in the same place. That’s because it’s the view from my balcony at home. I grew up in Oregon and always thought a good sunset had to end with the sun sinking into the ocean. Florida has taught me otherwise. Sunsets are very rare in Oregon due to the constant rain and overcast sky. Florida has some of the best sunsets around and probably the most visible as well, at least in the States. I feel very fortunate to be able to actually see one every night.
In the beginning…
Since moving to South Florida from Portland, Oregon a year ago, I’ve been amazed by it’s beauty. I’ve taken hundreds of photographs in attempts to capture this, and this blog is my way of sharing it with the world.
