Bluebirds, etc.
We regularly have bluebirds, but we have had more of them recently. We have also had more brown-headed nuthatches than usual. I regularly bird on our street and I am seeing more variety and numbers of birds than recently. The seasons are changing and… Continue Reading “Bluebirds, etc.”
Sunrises that Don’t Work Out
I have been wanting to get some sunrise pictures from the Palencia Boardwalk where the trees do not block the view. Yesterday, I set the alarm and woke up in the dark but it did not seem promising. I went back to bed and… Continue Reading “Sunrises that Don’t Work Out”
Elevated View of St. Augustine
The St. Augustine Camera Club got access for ten of us to take pictures of the sun set off the roof of the Treasury Building downtown. The building is the tallest one in downtown St. Augustine. Flagler Hospital is the tallest structure in the… Continue Reading “Elevated View of St. Augustine”

Sunrise from the Drone
The sun rises are often stunning in our area. There are trees between us and the marsh, so we have to walk to the edge of the marsh to get unobstructed sun rise pictures. It means making that short walk in the dark. We… Continue Reading “Sunrise from the Drone”
