Oliver at the beach


Oliver, Jupiter beach, originally uploaded by Alida's Photos.

Have you ever tried to photograph a lively 3 year old boy?
Oliver didn't stop moving for a second. If he did look at the camera, it was a nano-second of eye contact and by the time I pressed the shutter, he was looking away, at the waves, the shells or whatever caught his eye.
Great fun on the beach, but few photos.

Jupiter, Florida hawk

This beautiful hawk was just sitting on the condo balcony. I didn't want to crop too severely, so I apologize for the railing.

Windy day at Jupiter Beach, Florida

It is windy but warm, in the 60s, ... pleasant day with no hat or gloves for this Long Island woman.

The morning we left for Florida, we stopped by the bay in Sayville for a last look. It was cold and the sun was just rising. Great memory to take with us.

southern veranda

More snow on the way. I'm getting ready for another Florida road-trip.
This image was taken in February of 2007, warm and pleasant weather.
Since that time, we've been back to Florida each winter.

I never thought I would be a person to enjoy Florida but I guess I was wrong.
Never say, "Never!"
You'd be surprised how your opinions change over time.
Just about now, with snow and cold and black ice,
I think of the pleasant temperature of the south.
