Rain delay

February 24, 2013January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 16 Comments

Saturday was a miserable rainy day. Not just wet, but relentless rain and thunder. More of the same is expected on Sunday and Monday. So much for an early spring - thanks Phil. I took the opportunity to work on my indoor photography, something I truly loath. I fished out my bounce flash, but didn't … Continue reading Rain delay

Bay Bluff

After a few weeks of staying close to home, I finally got AWAY for a photo hike. I drove over to Pensacola, and wandered around Bay Bluff Park boardwalk. The walk is more than a mile long, and wends down the bluffs to the train tracks that run along Escambia Bay. It was a windy, … Continue reading Bay Bluff

Close to home

With the new pup, I'm still staying close to home for my photo hikes. No matter what the shelter chicks said, Asta is NOT housebroken so we're in that "watching-her-like-a-hawk-in-case-she-squats" phase, and since she is still hobbling around on her injured leg, I can't take her with me on long walks... yet. Hopefully, soon she … Continue reading Close to home

Friday morning I headed to Navarre Beach and Henderson Beach State Park. It was a clear day, a little windy, and the beach was nearly deserted. I need to enjoy the solitude while I can, Spring Break comes early to Florida and if the past few seasons are any indication, we'll be inundated with college … Continue reading A day at the beach

My own backyard

This seemed to be the longest week ever. By Saturday, I was exhausted, and I didn't actually do much of anything. Being a slug, apparently, is hard work. I still got up early and went for a photo hike, only I stayed in town. I made a lap at our local nature boardwalk. It's a … Continue reading My own backyard

Cold comfort

January 20, 2013January 10, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 19 Comments

I got an especially early start to my photo hike on Saturday. So early in fact, that I had to scrape ice off my windshield. A climatic phenomenon that is nearly unheard of in Northwest Florida. It was freakin' COLD... well, to me it was cold. I even went back in the house to pick … Continue reading Cold comfort
