Happy 2011! by Jocelyn Pantaleon Photography

21 65

2010 has been a year of so many trips and blessings. I'm so thankfull to God for allowing me the privilege to travel to such amazing locations and see so many beautiful sights.

When I see my stream I can see that this year I've grown as a photographer and as a human being in great parts, thanks to you, my Flickr friends.

I am very grateful because throughout this year I have had the opportunity to meet beautiful and very talented friends who share the passion for photography and the love of nature.

For me it is really hard to choose my favorite images of this year because there are just so many. So instead, I made this little video hopefully to remind everyone that despite whatever troubles or conflicts may come your way, there is a beautiful world filled with amazing people and places ready to welcome you and nurture you in their warmth.

After all it is a "Wonderful World"

Happy New year!

May all your dreams come true.

The Cape Florida Light is a lighthouse on Cape Florida at the south end of Key Biscayne in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The current structure was constructed in 1847, and it guided mariners off the Florida Reef which starts near Key Biscayne and extends southward a few miles offshore of the Florida Keys. It was operated by staff, with interruptions, until 1878, when it was replaced by the Fowey Rocks lighthouse. The lighthouse was put back into use in 1978 by the U.S. Coast Guard to mark the Florida Channel, the deepest natural channel into Biscayne Bay. They decommissioned it in 1990.

Within the Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park since 1966, the lighthouse was relit in 1996. It is owned and operated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

The construction contract called for a 65-foot-tall (20 m) tower with walls of solid brick, five feet thick at the bottom tapering to two feet thick at the top. It was later found that the contractor had scrimped on materials and built hollow walls. The first keeper of the lighthouse was Captain John Dubose, who served for more than ten years. In 1835 a major hurricane struck the island, damaging the lighthouse and the keeper's house, and flooding the island under three feet of water.

n 1846 a contract was let to rebuild the lighthouse and the keeper's dwelling. The contractor was permitted to reuse the old bricks from the original tower and house. New bricks were also sent from Massachusetts. The contract went to the low bidder at US$7,995. The lighthouse was completed and re-lit in April 1847. It was equipped with 17 Argand lamps, each with 21-inch (530 mm) reflectors. The new keeper was Reason Duke, who had lived with his family on the Miami River before he moved to Key West because of the Second Seminole War. In Key West his daughter Elizabeth had married James Dubose, son of John Dubose, the first keeper.

In an 1855 renovation, the tower was raised to 95 feet (29 m), to extend the reach of the light beyond the offshore reefs. That year the original lamp and lens system was replaced by a second-order Fresnel lens brought to Cape Florida by Lt. Col. George Meade of the United States Army Corps of Topographical Engineers. The heightened tower with its new, more powerful light, was re-lit in March 1856.

Simeon Frow became the keeper in 1859. Confederate sympathizers destroyed the lighthouse lamp and lens in 1861 during the American Civil War. The light was repaired in 1866, and Temple Pent was re-appointed keeper. He was replaced in 1868 by John Frow, son of Simeon Frow.

Upon arrival to this location, on a Sunday mind you, I was a little disappointed by the crowds of people. What should I expect on a Sunday.....right? Looking for a clear shot became a recurring disappointment, except for on my way out. As I looked over my shoulder at the canopy of palms, I decided to stop. I held the camera to my eye, tilted up, and bingo....no people!

Well it's only been a year and half since I had my own camera! Finally I feel like I'm myself again. I've been eying the Sony A77 for some time and just got it. Here's one of my first photos of what will hopefully be thousands of photos with it.

Brilliant petals of Gloriosa Lily pop out from surrounding greens by Susan Ford Collins

Here's another of my strange and unusual flowers... Gloriosa!

As a bud, its pale green petals face down. then as they elongate, their edges curl and arch up and around as they transform from green to yellow to orange or scarlet. Unlike most lilies, the Gloriosa is a vine that grabs on and pulls ahead bytendrils at the ends of the leaves. You may also know it as Glory Flower, Climbing Lily or Flame Lily.

Whenever I catch sight a Gloriosa out of the corner of my eye, my heart leaps at its beauty... and celebrates its unique ways!
