Approaching the present

February 28, 2013January 8, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 3 Comments

Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems - but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems incredible.”  ~ Salman Rushdie *Photo venue: Fort Barrancas, aboard Naval Air Station, Pensacola, FL. Except for cropping, and resizing for publication, image is Straight out … Continue reading Approaching the present

Ever onward

February 21, 2013January 9, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 14 Comments

The wind in the reeds whistles a beguiling tune, tempting me ever onward into deep and dangerous currents. Naiads and river monsters tease and taunt in their attempts to draw me from the safety of my vessel. I keep to my course, struggling in the white rapids, navigating rocks and eddies, praying for the respite … Continue reading Ever onward

Bay Bluff

February 16, 2013January 10, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 12 Comments

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

A cannon’s view

I traveled out to Fort Pickens State Park, near Pensacola, over the weekend for my photo hike. I've traipsed around the fort before, but this time, I went off the normal path and checked out some of the outer facilities... the batteries. These were where the large cannons and ammo were housed. At Battery Cooper, you … Continue reading A cannon’s view

My, my, my hikin’ shoes

August 18, 2012January 8, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 26 Comments

Due to a catastrophic computer fail, and my increasing lack of effort and enthusiasm... I've abandoned the attempt to complete my first 365Project. I gave it the ol' college try, but sadly, I just couldn't sustain it. Now, that I've dispense with that bit of distasteful housekeeping, on to my weekly photo hike. I will … Continue reading My, my, my hikin’ shoes

St. Michael’s

July 7, 2012June 27, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 13 Comments

I had all these wonderful plans for Saturday. First I had a lovely lunch with my girl crush Angie, then set out for my weekly photo hike. I even packed a change of clothes and shoes to make the slog thru the Florida heat and humidity (lung-collapsing since the rains have held off) more comfortable. … Continue reading St. Michael’s
