The pier in Juno Beach is always a main attraction. Whether it be fishing, people watching, surfer watching or sunrise views, it's the place to go.

Took this shot this morning. It was all planned to have the sun right at the end of the pier!
There is this great free software which will help you plan your sunrise, sunset, & moonrise locations for the best shots on any given day. I'm lovin' it!

pink super moonrise

The super-full-moon as it came up over the ocean, tonight March 19th. The pink hue is due to the haziness in the air.
I wanted to include the car for size reference. It was super!!

HAPPY St. Patrick's Day!

HAPPY St. Patrick's Day!, originally uploaded by Alida's Photos.

Just a little decoration to celebrate the day!

On Long Island, it's a pretty big event holiday, with parades and lots of corned beef and cabbage. Many people even take off from work to participate in, or view, the NY City parade.

In Florida, the parades are smaller but the corned beef is just as plentiful!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!

Our Local Hawk

We have a visitor just about every afternoon. He sits on the condo balcony and watches the lawn below.

All of a sudden he will swoop down and catch a vole or field mouse.

It's wonderful to see!

The police are ready!

Why are they riding all along the Jupiter/Juno Beach? Who knows?

I never see this much police presents on Fire Island. Maybe that's a good thing?

The view on the Intracoastal through Jupiter....Two photos stitched. Just an example of some of the beautiful homes along the shore. The satellite view shows they all have pools on the Intracoastal.
