Christmas Eve in Pensacola

December 5, 2025 at 9:00 am

To celebrate our first Christmas Eve in the Florida Panhandle in 2021, we took a day trip to Pensacola. I loved this huge inflatable Grinch.

The Basilica of St. Michael the Archangel was built in 1886, but traces its roots to the 16th century exploration of Northwest Florida. Love that blue ceiling!

Beautiful sunset glow as seen from the Pensacola Bay Bridge as we headed home.

It’s crazy that the sun now sets before 5 o’clock, but I love that colder weather is finally reaching the Florida Panhandle (at least for a few days) and I’m glad hurricane season is almost over. This year was nice and quiet.

Just a few snapshots from a quick afternoon walk taken with my Kodak PIXPRO FZ55.

Inlet Beach Sunset

I love it when the sky in all directions continues to glow for a while after the sun goes down, before finally fading into darkness.

Watercolor

One of the reasons my favorite town along 30A is Seaside is because it’s surrounded by the magical community of WaterColor, easily identifiable by its iconic streetlamps.

The entrance to their extensive trail system is this wooden boardwalk next to a fountain that heads straight towards a bridge over Western Lake.

The homes in WaterColor are not as colorful as Seaside, but their yellow Tennis Center stands out with some nice architectural details.

Crossing the wooden pedestrian bridges that dot this community reinforces the feeling of being connected to nature. Turtles and frogs can often be seen in the water below.

And if you keep your eyes peeled, you may spot one of the many deer that live in the area!

Florida Sunsets

September 28, 2025 at 8:00 am

Like many people I have a ridiculous number of sunset pictures saved on my iPhone, but I’ve managed to narrow it down to these top 5 photos. These are totally unmanipulated images, straight from my camera roll.

I took this photo at Pier Park in Panama City Beach a few years ago. This is definitely my #1 most favorite picture that I’ve ever taken of all time.

This photo of a sunset reflecting in Western Lake is close second.

This one was a bit more subtle, I like that pink blob hovering there like a UFO.

This recent sunset at Alys Beach was incredible.

I took this from the passenger seat of our car while driving down Highway 98 – I really like how that blurry truck on the left gives the photo a sense of movement.

Hope you enjoyed these.
