Glove weather

January 6, 2013January 9, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 24 Comments

It was cold Saturday - windy, eyes-watering, go-to-Target-buy-a-hoodie-cold, not just Florida cold. I never plan well for my photo hikes. I tend to forget things, especially things I need - like hiking shoes, extra batteries for my camera (you know, to use if/when the battery in your camera dies when you're an hour from home), … Continue reading Glove weather

Bag of bones

December 30, 2012January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 17 Comments

This weekend I headed back to the Boneyard. It was cold and windy, and it felt like a driftwood sort of day. I got a late start on my hike Saturday, so I stayed at the beach for sunset. It seems that the colder it is, the more brilliant the skies. Aside from the relics … Continue reading Bag of bones

A year in photos

December 28, 2012January 9, 2018 ~ Tara R. ~ 18 Comments

The past year was a wonderful time for me, photographically, starting out with spending New Year's Eve at the beach, where I enjoyed the sun and sand all to myself. Later in the winter, my family spent some quality time at the hockey rink, cheering on our local, minor league team and ice-racing wiener dogs. … Continue reading A year in photos

Have camel, will travel

December 26, 2012January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 8 Comments

Tomorrow morning, hours before the sun comes up, my husband is taking our daughter to the airport. She’ll make two connections, and take train ride, before boarding another plane to carry her across the ocean to Northern Africa. For the next three weeks she’ll be living and studying in a foreign country…  in the grand … Continue reading Have camel, will travel

Escaping into the woods

December 22, 2012January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 19 Comments

Last week I missed my photo hike. Probably the first time that has happened in more than two years. I was off doing the whole "my-kid-is-home-from-college-family-togetherness" thing. I'll admit to getting a little twitchy not being able to get out, but it was nice to hang with my daughter and have everyone home at the … Continue reading Escaping into the woods

Winter’s ‘a comin’

December 10, 2012January 9, 2018 ~ Tara R. ~ 4 Comments

I live in Florida, a state where we don't have clear delineation of seasons. We have Hot, HOTTER, mild, and rain. There is very little change in fall foliage - palm trees don't drop their fronds or turn luscious shades of gold and red - and it doesn't get cold (Deep South cold) until mid- … Continue reading Winter’s ‘a comin’
