This was the view of the Atlantic Ocean at twilight from the Cheeca Lodge in Islamorada - one of the Florida Keys. The vision was total serenity and tranquility as there didn't seem to be a dividing line between where ocean met sky. When i look at this picture i'm instantly transported back to that magical moment and place. Ahhhhhhh what a relaxing view. This photo was shot with a Nikon D50 (my first digital SLR) with an extremely wide angle Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens (the only non-Nikon glass I own).
This photo has just made it to the final round of the Los Angeles Times Photo Contest - I'll know by the end of September if it's won anything.

Somewhere over Maryland. Maybe. This is why I always want to sit by the window on a plane.
If I were a good flickerite, I would have taken my camera today to the Katarina Relief collection site today (9/2). I really suck at the "ready with the camera" thing when it's something I am taking part in. For me, the camera lets me step away and try to capture a broader, um, "thing".
So for a few photos someone else took, you need to go here.
The idea began a few days ago, for our 3 radio stations to hook up with the Red Cross and fill up a semi and bus with supplies and collect cash donations. In this area we have no local TV station, so the radio is a huge thing. They planned on it going from 5am-1pm, thinking it would be wonderful to fill up a trailer and bus, and collect perhaps $50,000 for the Red Cross Hurricane Relief fund.
My husband and I saw it covered this morning on a DC station, and I said, "let's go shopping." We already donated cash this week, but people sometimes need to feel more a part of things. So we picked up items from a store that was constantly restocking the bottled water and diapers and canned goods for this purpose, the employees amazed and proud of just what they were seeing in their store. On the way to the site, the new plea was for volunteers and packing tape, so we stopped and picked up a dozen rolls with dispenser and a dozen extra rolls.
When we got there, it was packed. The parking lot was full, people everywhere, items piled high.
The inside of the bus was filled with nothing but diapers. They were on the second trailer of just bottled water. We unloaded and spent some time packing canned goods into boxes. People dropping off asked if we were putting cans into boxes and then pitched in... we had only been at it a few minutes ouurselves!
It became this huge operation. Trailers with one type of item on it, pleas for more pallets, or trailers, or whatnot, pleas that got filled almost immediately. Businesses showing up with drinks and food for the volunteers. People driving 50 miles to donate.
We were listening to the radio almost all day, amazed at what was taking place. More trailers filling and headed for the gulf area, more money being donated, bosses bringing employees in to help load.
The stations decided to stay until 5, and then 7.
By 7pm, the tally was $460,000, 12 tractor trailer loads, and 9 busses filled to the brim.
They're still going strong. It certainly was something to see.
Update: More photos and story.
