Is this a dimension warp to another universe?
Nah this is one of the plantation home ruins on Jeckyll Island, GA. Last month a group of us ventured around on the island and found this and many other historical places. I just love history!

2 Things Challenge - Shiny/Dull


These are my interpretations of shiny/dull...
The sun in this photo is shining off the water in the beautiful sunrise on Fernandina Beach, FL
In this photo the rocks are very dull. I climbed on these rocks on Jeckyll Island, GA. They put rocks on the beach to stop beach erosion

This is my Grandaughter Sarah. I spent Valentines Day with her and decided to take some photos of her. I cannot believe she is almost 9 months old! Nanna is proud :) Isn't she just adorable?

2/14/09 Photo of The Day

Wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day! I'm not a huge fan of Valentines Day because I feel like if you love someone you will take the time to show them and make them feel special more than just one day out of the year. I know it's a big deal to a lot of people though so I hope your loved one treats you right. I am spending the day with my granddaughter Sarah so that my daughter and her Hubby can enjoy their holiday. I am so excited to get to spoil her all day :) I'm sure there will be photos to come.

Even though today is Friday the 13th its a very special birthday for my friend Gary. This guy is a great friend and confidant. He is an excellent photographer. I have learned so much from him. We have been on a few photography adventures together. He opened my eyes to photography and has been my mentor. I went from just taking photos of my family to venturing beyond that to different subjects and perspectives. He is a friend to many people. No one is a stranger to Gary. I just wanted to write a short note of how much he means to me. I hope he has an awesome birthday!! He is my subject for my photo for today.
Love ya Gary!!

Found this when we were walking in downtown Jacksonville, FL along the St Johns River. Not sure what The name of the business was but I just thought the architecture and the reflections were just awesome :)

How many Flamingos do you see? This photo was taken at the Jacksonville Zoo back in December. You seem to see statues of these birds in many peoples yards in Florida. Not sure why but you would think Flamingos were the state bird...lol. I just love their bright color!

Where does the stairway lead? This was taken inside the Country Club on Jeckyll Island, GA. I liked the never ending effect of them.

2/9/08 Photo of The Day


This is a beautiful view from a restaraunt on the dock on Jeckyll Island, GA. I can't remember the name of it and the food wasn't all that great, I just remember the view. I am big on reflection photos and I just loved how you could see the clouds in the water.

A Rose is a Rose.......
Just simply beautiful. Some photos of roses I took on Tybee Island, GA near the lighthouse in September of this year.

I am ready for the Spring to get here and the weather to warm up. Every since we went to Daytona Beach, FL a few weekends ago when I took these photos, I have been missing sunny, warm days on the beach. I love the feeling of my toes in the sand and the sound of the ocean. I spent a lot of time on the beach growing up so it always feels like home to me.

A cup of tea anyone?
This was taken at Fort Clinch in Fernandina Beach, FL

I have been pondering on our trip to the mountains for Christmas. I enjoyed myself so much. I think the kiddos enjoyed themselves even more. I really didn't want the fun to end. I think it was the best Christmas ever!

2/4/09 Photo of The Day


This is a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains from Grandfather Mountain. It was a cloudy day and quite cold outside. Just some beautiful scenery to take in. I loved our trip to the mountains! Such a family bonding time. I can't wait till we go back!

Kayaking anyone? This is one of the many fun activities on Jeckyll Island, GA

2/1/09 Photo of the Day

We made a trip to Daytona Beach, FL yesterday for a family reunion of sorts. There is no way I can go to Daytona without stopping by the beach...I don't care how cold it is! lol This is a photo of my Husband & 2 step-children taking in the beauty of it all. Daytona Beach is a beautiful place!

1/31/09 Photo of the Day

I was out of town yesterday at a family reunion so I couldn't post a photo before midnight. Here is my photo for yesterday. When we went to the zoo...this ape was just sitting there in deep thought and hardly moved the whole time we stood there. Even though its his backside I still think its a cute photo of him. I'm sure he wouldn't like the fact of me calling him cute...lol

1/30/09 Photo of The Day

Just a zoo photo of one of my favorite creatures...the giraffe of course!!

1/29/09 Photos of The Day








Just some great bird photos I captured this last weekend. I love birds and have had the hardest time learning the settings and technique to get a decent photograph of flying birds or just flapping their wings. I was ever so proud of these!!

This was my first attempt at creating and HDR photo (High Dynamic Range) . Its something I came across that I find interesting. You use 3 or more of the same photos with different ranges of contrast. Here is the original photo...

By the way...this photo was taken on Jeckyll Island.

1/27/08 Photo of the Day

This is Fort Clinch on Amelia Island, FL. I toured the fort for the first time this weekend. So much to see and learn about. I really want to go back when I have more time and take the kiddos.
