Another paddleboarder. Very popular here in Florida, it must be great exercise; just look at her muscles!

osprey waiting
Went back to see if the osprey was still there. We couldn't see into the nest but a nest is there and this one was waiting patiently for his/her mate. The other osprey arrived with food, left it and flew away.
I do hope I get to photograph some chicks!

ICW "Catillac"
A play on words or poor spelling??
Don't know, but this beautiful boat just passed us by creating a huge wake!

Florida boating
The boats here in Palm Beach County are huge! When we go out in our rental "boat club" boat, I feel like an ant in an elephant parade!

Jupiter Lighthouse
Jupiter, Florida
An annual event, couples can go to the top of the lighthouse after it is closed to the general public. Champagne, chocolate and the sunset are all private, (except for the tour guide who is standing nearby!). It's a fund-raiser but gives a romantic evening a new meaning. My husband and I shared the moment by snapping a photo every nano-second. Very romantic??!!

white egret
Finally went out to photograph some birds today. Of course, I forgot to take another lens so I was somewhat limited. I guess I need to recheck my camera gear!

Vagabond and the Lighthouse
I really haven't been taking or posting many photos recently. Oh, you've noticed?
It's a fact of life that at some point, a person's "focus" changes.
The purchase of a Florida condo, for winter cold-weather escapes, has us spending all of our energy (and money) into getting settled, buying furniture, and making friends.
I keep saying that as soon as we're settled, I'll once again search out locations and wildlife to photograph. Soon, really, I will!
Thanks for continuing to stop by and visit here.
In the meantime, you can check out my images for Google Earth and Maps at Panoramio.

Get ready for Football
Super Bowl Sunday and the family will watch the game. My job? Make some yummy food that can be eaten in the living room, with no utensils, without making a big mess!

Day Break
Another beautiful morning with a promise of perfect weather. Florida in winter is wonderful. I can sleep with all the windows open and no insects!
Photo is: Day Break over Jupiter Island and the Intra-coastal.

Florida egret
In Florida, egrets are like Long Island seagulls. They hang around the buildings looking for food.
