A sort of lazy week, I spent very little time outdoors and didn't get my camera out much. Some of these shots were taken at the Tallahassee Museum of History and Natural Science during a trip to the city to visit my daughter. The others were from a short drive around my home town.

Saturday I took off for one of my photo hunts, making it more of a hike again, spending two hours at Tarklin Bayou State Preserve near Pensacola. It was a gorgeous day, not too hot, … Continue reading Tarklin Bayou

Lent, a 40-day period of repentance and fasting in the Christian calendar, began last Wednesday. During the six weeks leading up to Easter, many New Year's resolution underachievers, give the attempt of self-improvement one more try.
