Didn't get out much to take photos this week. Two family cars are down, homework for the Tech College student and all around boredom kept me home. I took the time to work on my indoor photography, something that I am sorely lacking in technique and skill. These are not my favorite, but I needed … Continue reading Boredom

Walkabout: cemeteries and lagoons
I took advantage of the beautiful weather to day-trip to Pensacola. While there I went to Bay Bluff Park, an 800-foot wooden boardwalk that runs parallel with a CSX rail line along Escambia Bay.
