9700 S Hwy A1A, Melbourne Beach, FL 32951
Distant shores await me,
Exotic ports of call
Longitudes and latitudes,
A paradise for all
From the equator to the southern cross,
And destinations in between
The world is but a treasure trove,
Of paradise unseen.

The Roosevelt Bridge is a major highway segmental bridge across the St. Lucie River in Stuart, Florida. Carrying U.S. Route 1 (Federal Highway; unsigned State Road 5), it was built to supersede the old Roosevelt Bridge, which had twin parallel drawbridges, one for northbound traffic (opened in 1934, 27.203228°N 80.259612°W) and the other for southbound (opened in 1964, 27.202475°N 80.259762°W).
The new bridge, completed in 1996, is raised and much longer than the older twin drawbridges. The southbound span of the old bridge is still functional for road and boat traffic and now carries two-way road traffic for what is now known as Dixie Highway, County Road 707. The new high-level Roosevelt Bridge is approximately one mile long and is made of two three-lane sections running parallel to each other. The northbound bridge was completed first, and housed two lanes of both north and south-bound traffic until the second bridge was finished.

If but only for a beach alongside the sea,
Be it Maui, Bimini, or Florida Key.
There’s no other place that speaks to my soul.
Like a blue lagoon, or banana wind shoal.
From latitude to longitude, and the elusive southern cross,
Everything under a tropical sun, nourishes my mental floss.

Green heron spotted sitting on the fence while i was biking - stopped, took these photos, got back on bike and kept going.
Yes, I am a voyeur. I like these kinds of shots from behind the scenes.
Many thanks to Clover & Bee for donating their time and services today. They were fabulous and attentive to everything.

Well, that's it for my city-captures of historic Saint Augustine, Florida. It was our 7th consecutive year here on the 4th of July. It's always fun! I got 50 keepers. All taken in one day, and then it took me the entire month of July to post them. Hope you enjoyed them as much as I did capturing them! I still have one nice Saint Augustine sunrise to post and also a nice grouping of avian captures, also taken in Saint Augustine. And then after that I have a huge-backlog of South Florida sunsets that I still have to work on. Some really good ones! But for now it's on to August in this tense and stressful year. And if the the virus wasn't enough, we will be waking up tomorrow to a Category 2 Hurricane just off our shores! What a year! Hoping everything is good by you, where-ever in the world you might be. Thank you for looking. Best Regards from South Florida U.S.A.

Reddish Egret
From Cornell Lab of Ornithology -
"A medium to large heron of shallow salt water, the Reddish Egret comes in a dark and a white form. It is a very active forager, often seen running, jumping, and spinning in its pursuit of fish.
Adult Description
•Medium to large heron.
•Bill pink at base, black at tip.
•Dark phase all dark gray with a reddish neck.
•White form all white with two-toned bill and dark grey legs.
Immature Description
Similar to adult, but dark phase paler and more washed out."
Up early before sunrise, and before anyone else was awake. My entire life has been a dress rehearsal for social distancing!
Sunrise this morning, Palm City FL.
My happy hour
Is when darkness meets light
When the glow of the sun
Warms the chill of the night
Sunrise truly is the best time of day
When all of God's creatures come out to play
Let’s raise a glass and make a toast
To the happiest hour from coast to coast

If I were a cloud
I’d choose a tropical sky
And drift above oceans
To the heavens so high
I’d admire my reflection
In the deep blue sea
And create magical shapes
For the world to see
I’d carry rain to the mountains
And shade to the shore
Traverse countries and continents
Mysteries to explore
If I were a cloud
I would fly
Sky 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.
