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.

Florida Intracoastal at Hobe Sound

Florida Intracoastal at Hobe Sound at the Jonathan Dickinson State Park

It's a beautiful boat-ride up and down the Intracoastal in this area of Florida. All natural areas show the way undeveloped Florida used to look!

Ultralight Aviation at Juno Beach

Another beautiful sunset at Juno Beach.

From wikipedia: "Powered paragliding, also known as paramotoring, is a form of ultralight aviation where the pilot wears a motor on his or her back (a paramotor) which provides enough thrust to take off using a paraglider wing. It can be launched in still air, and on level ground, by the pilot alone — no assistance is required."

Another beautiful sunset at the beach. Temperatures in this area of Florida have been in the 70s. It's a good time to be here.

The West Palm Beach County Ocean Rescue lifeguard on a dune buggie.

He rode down the beach to remove the "dangerous swimming" flag.

Why dangerous?

There were man-o'-wars in the water and swimmers could be stung!

The weather has been beautiful here in Florida, but the man-o'-wars have been here too!

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.

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

southern veranda, originally uploaded by Alida's Photos.

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.
