“Sebastian Inlet Jetty”, at Sebastian Inlet State Park, FL. It was sixty-four degrees, windy and a completely bald sky. So I pointed the camera down to include more foreground and very little sky (while trying not to get wet). I also, liked the shading & texture of the sand as the waves receded.

Boggy Pond
Boggy Pond, in the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. The wind was blowing so hard it was causing the water to be very choppy and foamy. Combine the waves, foam and a long exposure and it produced some very interesting patterns.

Me2
A couple of days ago I tried to capture a similar self portrait image when I was at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. I thought a few came out OK, until I got home and saw the images on the computer. Not being too thrilled with my first attempt, I went back yesterday afternoon and tried again. This time I got a few captures that I really liked, and was ready to pack it up and leave, when the sun broke through the clouds for just a few minutes. I quickly captured three more before it hid behind the clouds once more and I'm glad I did.

Endless Tracks
Here's another image from my time spent at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge the other day. The train tracks run through the refuge on it's way into Kennedy Space Center. I just liked this view, the tracks look like they go on forever, when in fact about 20 yards behind me they hang a quick left heading into the space center.

Merritt Island Lookout
I spent the day driving through the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge looking for cool clouds. There was suppose to be a cold front coming through, but it looks like it won't make it until some time in the night. Now I know this is winter in Florida and I don't expect snow or anything, but it was almost 90 flipping degrees out today:-(

Eau Galle Street Lights
It's been a long time since I've shot moving cars at night and anything in color, but it just didn't look right in B&W.

Viera Wetlands #3
Here's the second photo I took of the Viera Wetlands the other day. Landscape orientation of a different clump of dead trees and this one has some nice water reflections going on.

Viera Wetlands #2
Well we finally had some clouds here in Central Florida the past couple of days, even though we’re back to blue skies and 70 degrees. Sorry my northern friends ;-)
