******************************************************************
St. Augustine Lighthouse is located on the north end of Anastasia Island in St. Augustine, Florida. Built in 1874 of brick, the St. Augustine Lighthouse is 163 feet high making it the 8th tallest lighthouse in the United States today. It's all about the light.... finding it and following it to safe harbor. The light can be seen from 25+ miles out to sea. Today St. Augustine Lighthouse is run by the non-profit St. Augustine Lighthouse and Museum Inc and is open to the public. Visitors can climb the 219 steps to the top for great views from this beautiful and fun tourist attraction. It was recently re-painted last year! Fun to visit!
[FYI: Tallest building in town is 6 floors = 60 feet.
This lighthouse, towers over that at - 163 feet high.]

Honestly, I don't even know what the title of this image means - but those were the words in my head this morning as I tried to process this breathtaking view. This is actually the hardest part of sharing my work - trying to describe in words - views that leave me speechless.

I've been coming to this spot for sunrise for a long time now, and I have never seen a low tide this far out before. It gave me access to an entire stretch of beach that I could only view from a distance before.

I made a shot of a lone woman who set up her piano in the park after Sunday church for some come to Jesus gospel .... I worked on the portrait a few times but just never liked the look of it .... but then last nite I decided to take another look .... and found some interest in just her hands instead of the full portrait .... even though her hands were a small part of the larger image .... I'm pleased my focus changed... and I just wanted to share it here ...reminded too that sometimes the beauty is in the details ..................
It wasn't enough for these ambitious clouds to just dominate the sky, so they opted to dominate the water with their reflections as well. Sunrise this morning, Palm City, Florida

Ponce de Leon claimed Florida for Spain in 1513. (Christopher Columbus discovered North America in 1492 but actually landed in the Bahamas).

I find myself reminiscing about the good 'ole days, when the only 'corona' on my mind was the beer in front of me or the one shining in my eyes.
One day this aberration will be a distant memory in our rear view mirrors, and that can't happen soon enough.
Stay healthy, remain vigilant, and we'll get through this together.

This morning I had to get up and head out the door, to reassure myself that the sun would indeed rise and the entire world hadn't gone crazy. I'm still not certain about the latter, but sunrise this morning was a thing of comfort and beauty.
Location: Palm City, FL
The Anastasia Formation extends for 2 miles north along the shoreline with cliffs up to 15 feet high at the House of Refuge. Looking south from the end of the boardwalk, Bathtub Reef is visible.
Immediately ahead is an outcrop with small burrows, aminated crusts, solution pipes, a notch and an abrasion platform, and a mass of collapsed rock. Moving north along the beach moving toward the House of Refuge, there are several outcrops with conspicuous notches.
At the House of Refuge are prominent planar bedding, many fossils (including Busycon), small and large burrows, thick laminated calcium carbonate crusts, lithified infillings, solution pipes, notched cliffs, promontories and small coves, and many large masses of collapsed bedrock.

Stuart is a city in and county seat of Martin County, Florida, the United States. Located on Florida's Treasure Coast, Stuart is the largest of four incorporated municipalities in Martin County. The population was 15,593 in the 2010 census. It is part of the Port St. Lucie, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Stuart is frequently cited as one of the best small towns to visit in the US, in large part because of Stuart's proximity to the St. Lucie River and Indian River Lagoon.
When Stuart was incorporated as a town in 1914, it was located in Palm Beach County. In 1925, Stuart was chartered as a city and named the county seat of the newly created Martin County.
The city of Stuart is known as the Sailfish Capital of the World, because of the many sailfish found in the ocean off Martin County.

Every morning I drive to work and go through this beautiful banyon tree tunnel. I keep telling myself to bring my camera one morning and take a picture.
This morning when I got up, there was a fairly rare (for Florida) dense fog. I thought it might make for an interesting twist on the banyon tree tunnel...
This is the first picture from that series.

Saint Augustine, Florida U.S.A. ~ #40 in Explore 7/8/15
Well not really, but she's pretty enough to be a mermaid! She's a model that was doing a photo-shoot on the jetty with a pro female photographer. They were both very professional in what they do. I was set-up in an unoccupied lifeguard-stand to shoot the morning light. It was a dull, cloud-blocked, uneventful sunrise and it looked like they were having much more fun than I was! So after seeing the photographer handing the camera to the model to get a shot of herself, I just HAD to go over there to see if they wanted a shot of both of them together. The photographer declined. So after I asked, they were gracious enough to allow me "JUST ONE SHOT". At that very moment, the sun appeared providing some great natural light. It never hurts to ask... Thanks for looking ~ Saint Augustine Inlet
[To Laura, my wife of 32+ years; honest
hon, this is exactly how it happened! LOL]

If but only for a beach
Alongside the sea,
Be it Hawaii, Barbados, or a Florida Key.
There’s no other place that speaks to my soul.
Like an emerald lagoon,
Or banana wind shoal.
From latitude to longitude,
And the elusive southern cross,
Everything beneath a tropical sun,
Becomes my mental floss.

The Pueblo Arcade is a historic building in Vero Beach, Florida. Located at 2044 14th Street, the Pueblo Arcade was built in the Mission/Spanish Revival style in 1926 by local contractors Blackford and Davis. This structure was very popular among the citizens of Vero Beach due to its ingenious design, prior to the introduction of Air Conditioning. It consisted of arcades with shop doorways opening onto a single hallway which opened to the street. The structure was restored by developer Robert L. Brackett and was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on March 8, 1997.
If you want to head out for a Sunday drive, I don't think there is a more scenic route than heading west on Highway 714 here in southeast Florida. Lush, tropical vegetation leads you to pastoral farm land, sugar cane fields, and wide open untamed spaces. Florida life perfection.
