Tarklin Bayou

I'm still keeping up with my quasi-daily walks, logging in more than 20 miles since last Sunday. Not too shabby. 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

During the six weeks leading up to Easter, many New Year's resolution underachievers, give the attempt of self-improvement one more try. The shorter duration of deprivation somehow seeming less intimidating. Sugar, chocolate, alcohol and caffeine are common indulgences included on … Continue reading Walking it off

Boredom

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.

When you're walking it on a hot day, it feels more than 5 miles. Then I headed to Big Lagoon State … Continue reading Walkabout: cemeteries and lagoons

Yellow light

February 6, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 19 Comments

This week was cold and rainy, after forecasts called for sun and cloudless skies... bygones. I still went out hoping to find something of interest. The cloud cover gave the landscape an odd yellowish tint, that in post-editing I bumped up a little. I am ready for some warmth, clear skies, and bright light. (Photos … Continue reading Yellow light
