Heron

We went for a walk this evening in and around Rosemary Beach, and not only was the shelling excellent, there was a beautiful heron wading in the Gulf.

I also tried to take a nice photo of this little Old Florida concrete block beach bungalow to honor its memory before it gets torn down and replaced with another beachside megamansion. There are only a few of these gems left in Inlet Beach!

Photos taken with my Kodak PIXPRO FZ55.

In Seaside there is a gorgeous lavender house on 30A with a fun little detail...

A statue of a sea captain wearing a yellow raincoat, looking out towards the water.

The first two photos I took today with my Kodak PIXPRO FZ55. The third one I took with my iPhone last year.

Orange A-Frame

When I first laid eyes on this beautiful orange A-Frame beach house a few years ago with the full moon rising behind it, it was love at first sight.

As the months went by, I kind of turned into half a stalker, swinging by whenever I was in the area just to take a quick look. This next photo is available on Pixels.

Freezing a perfect moment in a photograph feels magical. The way sunshine hits a tree atop a building, an airplane in just the right spot, neatly manicured hedges behind a fancy fence, a peach colored building against a gray Chicago sky, a strangely dignified looking parking garage, and the Sears Tower from the roof of Whole Foods Lincoln Park.

Life is fleeting, but full of wonders if you stop to look.

From a beachside rainbow to the Alys Beach dragon sculpture and regional bumper stickers, this collection of snapshots resembles postcards one could imagine seeing in a gift shop. Greetings from the Florida Panhandle!
