Juno Beach Pier
Juno Beach, Florida
Well, I’m back in Florida! It seems like only yesterday that I was in the sunshine state. Although that moniker leaves a little to be desired as I have been fighting the wind and the rain since I arrived. I needed to fly down so I could help my Mom drive back to New York. I decided to spend a few days exploring the Treasure Coast and maybe even a small stop at Disney before I head over to my Mom’s place.
The last time I explored the East Coast of FL I made it as far as Jupiter. This time I booked a room at Juno Beach as I have seen some amazing pics from this area. Even though the weather has not been cooperating I have done a few location scouting for the next time I can make it down this far along the coast. My first morning was spent fighting the wind and ocean spray to grab some images of Juno Beach Pier. This one is during the morning blue hour about forty minutes before the official sunrise.

Oil Can Project
Oil Can Project
Last weekend I went to an art show for a local wildlife photographer. I bought a few of her prints last year and was hoping to add to my collection. It was a success. I grabbed a couple more of her owl pictures and they help diverse my living room (it is a little over-run with my pictures)… LOL!
After the show I stopped at a consignment shop across the street. I was looking for a few knick-knacks to photograph. I wanted to play with my new light studio and flashes. I think it back fired on me. I came away with an idea for a project… old oil cans. I bought three on Saturday and ended up going to another shop on Sunday which produced an additional three cans for my collection.
I’m still trying to figure out the best lighting, post-processing, display, etc., but I wanted to share the results of the first few attempts. Right now I’m leaning toward black & white versions but that may change as I progress. I’m looking at this as a learning process (and boy do I have a lot to learn). Stay tuned for more pictures…

Seating for Life
Tree of Life, Animal Kingdom, Walt Disney World
Sticking with the red table and chair theme today. There are numerous locations along the path between the Africa and Asia sections of Animal Kingdom where you can grab a view of the Tree of Life. Some even have seating so you can rest your feet. There is something about the bright red table and chairs that always catches my eye. I especially like red being the ‘out of place’ color in this sea of green.

Morning View
Boardwalk Area, Crescent Lake, Walt Disney World
Whenever I get the chance to stay at my Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resort I get spoiled. It allows me a great opportunity for morning walks around Crescent Lake which I tell myself is for the exercise and photo opportunities, but in reality is so I can enjoy a warm croissant at the Boardwalk Bakery. I suppose it can count as exercise as I do have to walk around the lake to get my indulgence. And I do come away with quite a few pictures during the morning hours. OK, you have convinced me! It really was for the exercise and pictures. I don’t feel so guilty any more (not that I did to start with… LOL).
Along the section of the Boardwalk in front of the bakery there are these bright red tables and chairs. The intent is to provide a place to enjoy those indulgences you obtain at the bakery but in the early morning hours the dew is still heavy on the seats. By the time they dry out the sun is beating down on you pretty good and sitting next to the lake can be quite hot. My solution is to grab a picture of them! You can see the Yacht and Beach Club resorts off on the horizon. I loved the color the sun was throwing out this morning.
A few years ago I posted an image of the opposite view. I grabbed the table and chairs with the bakery in the background. You can view that image here.
Oh, in case you were wondering, the croissant was very good!
