Spent some time around train tracks this weekend near Mossy Head, FL. There is something very appealing to me about rust and iron. (Photos shot with a Nikon D60, using an 18-55mm, 55-200mm, 20mm f/2.8 wide-angle, 50mm f/1.8 prime lens, Nikon CoolPix S205 and/or iPhone4) For more photos, please visit my Flickr photostream.

Saturday morning I woke from a dream crying. I couldn't remember the details of the dream, but the rest of the day I felt, well... unsettled, and on the verge of more tears. I tried to distract myself by going out for my usual weekend photo walk, but all it did was illustrate how preoccupied … Continue reading Distracted

Eden Garden

I live in a small town that hugs the leeward shore of Choctawhatchee Bay. Between my nice community and the vast Gulf of Mexico is a popular tourist destination. A two-lane, 3.6 mile bridge literally divides town from country. Where towering condos obscure most of the coastline from the highway running through the city, the … Continue reading Town and country

Middle of nowhere

October 15, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 12 Comments

I have a deep, and abiding love for the natural resources around me, and whenever possible take advantage of the trails and parks for some much needed peace and quiet. While the beaches here are amazing, they can be a little too crowded for me, even this time of year. Yet, I have found a … Continue reading Middle of nowhere
