In Like a Lion…
Backyard
I realize the saying is usually attributed to the month of March but I am hoping that by using it for the first snow of winter it will apply to the whole season. Listening to the weather forecast for Sunday and Monday as I walked around on Saturday in 66 degree weather made me wonder what the heck is going on. Surely someone was trying to pull a HUGE practical joke. I guess Mother Nature managed a doozy…
As much as I was enjoying being snuggled under the blanket reading a good book I didn’t want to let the first snow go un-photographed. As soon as the wind died down and the light managed to find its way through the clouds I grabbed the camera and headed out into the backyard. The temperatures were warm enough for the snow to be the heavy, clingy snow that manages to hang on every surface. I wanted to capture that look. This series of images are from around the yard (I wanted some pics but was not brave enough to venture farther).

Patriotic Watch
Cocoa Beach, FL
Although it had just stopped raining, the conditions looked great for surfing. There were more people in the surf than there were on the beach as I ran around trying to capture images at Cocoa Beach Pier. I really liked the color scheme used for the lifeguard tower and having the surfers walk by sealed it for me. It didn’t matter that it was a rainy, overcast day, the scene was set.

A Morning Trip
Jupiter and Hobe Sound, FL
It seemed easy enough, drive down to Jupiter and catch the sunrise with the Jupiter Lighthouse. I have seen pics of the lighthouse and they are great! I looked online and thought I knew a few locations with a good view… wrong! Definitely something that needs to be scouted ahead of time. I spent most of my early arrival searching for a good location. I didn’t find one.
I managed to find a spot under the Route 1 bridge which allowed me to capture the first image. This is just prior to sunrise. Oh, and another thing… check your camera settings before you begin a new day! I had spent the previous night photographing the moon rise and left my ISO at 1600. Didn’t notice until an hour into my pics. Rookie mistake. 😦
The second image is from a pier into the river just beyond the bridge. I was able to setup between the bridge supports and capture the sun beyond the boats in the marina. This was not my intended image but I think I like this one the best from my excursion.
The rest of the morning was going to be spent exploring the various parks and locations I listed from images I had found online. Another thing that is easier said then done. The last image is the only keeper I managed to capture. My list of disappointments is fairly long…
- Blowing Rocks Preserve – parking area was closed
- Hobe Sound Wildlife Refuge – no attendant for fee and me without a pen to fill out the form
- Seashells on beach on Hutchinson Island (Captain Kimo Gallery) – couldn’t find
- Indian River Citrus Museum – not open on Monday… LOL, my luck
I guess this is a sign that I will have to return and try again. Not a bad thing when I stop and think about it. Like I need a reason to come back… 🙂

From Space Coast to Treasure Coast
Cocoa Beach to Vero Beach
My trip along the Florida coast started in Cocoa Beach and ended in Vero Beach (so far, more to come).
