“Sand dunes gone

Snatched by a Storm

Are the poles really shifting ?

Gypsy rains wash o’er the plains

Wood and Dreams are still drifting

 

The best of times can still

Somehow be found

Even the worst of Beaches

Will never let you down... “

~Jimmy Buffett~

(Jimmy Buffett)

 

Late Afternoon at the Tide Pools

Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late

The cannons don’t thunder, there’s nothin’ to plunder

I’m an over-forty victim of fate

Arriving too late, arriving too late

 

I’ve done a bit of smugglin’, and I’ve run my share of grass

I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast

Never meant to last, never meant to last

 

~ Jimmy Buffett

It’s those changes in latitudes,

changes in attitudes nothing remains quite the same.

With all of our running and all of our cunning,

If we couldn’t laugh, we would all go insane.

"To whom it may concern

I've always tried to learn

That the good days need to last

Seasoned with a lot of laughter

Here and in the Ever After

With poetry and painters from my past"

St Patrick's Parade - Denver, Colorado

“Mother, Mother Ocean

I have heard your call

Wanted to sail upon your waters

Since I was 3 feet tall

You’ve seen it All...

You’ve seen it All... “ Jimmy Buffett

An ode to the power and majesty of the Atlantic Ocean.

Three Hurricanes in two years have made me realize that we

Humans who dwell near to Her have absolutely No power

against Her and God’s providence.

My favorite "sunrise in paradise" location on Key West. These palms are featured on Jimmy Buffett's A1A album, and the back cover is about 50 yards north of here. While he lived here this was a favorite spot of his and he wrote a few songs here. Have been attempting to get the best shot of these palms for many years. I'M STILL TRYING!

You will know when to start and to stop

Once you see that no one really wins

My favorite "sunrise in paradise" location on Key West. These palms are featured on Jimmy Buffett's A1A album, and the back cover is about 50 yards north of here. While he lived here this was a favorite spot of his and he wrote a few songs here. Have been attempting to get the best shot of these palms for many years. I'M STILL TRYING!

on this amazing sunrise. It lasted 42 minutes and I got a lot

of keepers...so bear with me. Thanks very much for looking]

quite hard to look at, but occasionally I will forego that rule

if the color and texture of the whole frame overwhelms it]

pelicans feeding ~ great-egret looking on

Florida Keys ~ Key West, Florida U.S.A.

 

*[Each one of these pelicans took a turn or two

with a 'cool dive' for a fish. It was amazing to see.

This one: my personal favorite of the 6 pic series.]

 

*[Will be off-line for a few days. Enjoy your weekend,

Happy Holidays, Happy Shooting, and remember

to always Seize the Day!! Thank you for looking.]
