Spent an enjoyable (but very sweaty) day at Bok Tower Gardens.

The giant Victoria water lilies are beautiful and can grow to seven feet in diameter.

Their spiders are also large but thankfully do not grow to seven feet.


I was fortunate enough to capture the amazing jeweled colors in last night’s sunset. They only lasted about two minutes before disappearing.


Hummingbird visitations have been increasing lately. We’ve really been enjoying this little lady’s company.


📷 Finally some sun after two days of non-stop storms. The plants and the birds are out in full color celebration.

📷 Love – I have always loved watching the sunset play off of clouds and I’ll never forget this particular evening. The fading sun was an explosion covering the entire sky and I felt the same feelings of smallness I had when visiting the Grand Canyon for the first time.

📷 Discovery – There’s always something to discover in the boxes around our home.

📷 Overcome - It took several days of applying to get my daughter into the jedi academy before she was finally given the chance to overcome the dark side.

📷 Hummingbird friend visited us again today. Luckily, my camera was sitting by the window. I just love how, in spite of all our human mess, the animals keep doing their thing.

📷 Relentless – Florida storms always include relentless amounts of rain. That’s Disney’s Magic Kingdom castle right in the center.

📷 Frosty – A nice frosty glass of one of my favorite beers.

📷 Graceful – A great blue heron gracefully fishing in my parents backyard.

📷 Home – I’ve moved far too many times for a building or a location to capture my heart but wherever these two are, I am home.

📷 Crunch – My daughter was born in a place where snow is something you only see in decorations and movies so it was a big deal when we visited my wife’s hometown and let her crunch through it behind the old elementary school.

📷 Change – Raintree blooms signal the change to winter’s sweet relief in Florida.
