Beach shelters in the morning

by Roger on February 15, 2013

Came across this photo today – two beach shelters just waiting for me to occupy them.  Too bad I’m 1,200 miles away.

Lighthouse at Sunset

by Roger on February 8, 2013

We’re having a bit of a winter storm today, although it’s not quite as bad as was predicted.  Still had to go out and shovel a couple of times.  Makes me appreciate my Florida photos a bit.

This one was taking right at sunset.  We were driving along and noticed that it was near sunset — and the thought to check out the Hillsborough Inlet Lighthouse came to mind.  Took quite a few pictures as the colors were spectacular.  Too bad there was that oddly colored junk in front of it.

More in the Pier Collection

by Roger on February 7, 2013

There’s a winter storm on the way so I decided to live in a state of denial and play around with some more of my vacation beach pictures (sigh).  Makes me wish I was there today.  One thing I can say for Deerfield Beach – it has the best sunrises!  Every morning we went, they were spectacular.  But really, how many sunrise pier pictures can one take?  Apparently a lot.

Spider Web

by Roger on February 5, 2013

Took this picture while walking last summer.  It’s not easy to find a completely intact spider web. Thought this one was pretty cool.

Another from the Pier Set

by Roger on February 5, 2013

I haven’t been on for a few days.  Finally finished up my Photoshop class for PCM Courseware and have now moved onto Excel 2013.  Got around to going through some photos this afternoon and realized that I had not added this one to my portfolio.

Kletzsch Park dam in January

by Roger on February 1, 2013

I needed to get out and get a bit of fresh air so we took a little river walk yesterday after the snow.  Kletzsch Park, the little park near my house, has a man-made dam that is interesting no matter what time of year.  I must say that right now, it looks especially spectacular.  The river is just starting to freeze.  Snapped a whole bunch of photos — will have to see what’s salvageable.

Window in a Tunnel

by Roger on January 29, 2013

Finally, the temperature was in the 40′s today so I decided to go on a neighborhood photo shoot.  It was  great time to go as everything was in an interesting “melting” state – especially the river.  Took over 100 photos today.  Going to let them sit on the SD card for awhile before I import them.  That way, when I do go through them, I’m looking at them with a fresh eye.

Today’s photo is from Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park in Key Largo.  While walking through a tunnel, there was a window in the ceiling about halfway through.  Thought the perspective was kind of cool.

Oh Rocky!

by Roger on January 27, 2013

Snowy day here…mixed with sleet and ice.  Good day to sit at the computer and play round with images.  I kind of thought these rocks at the beach were cool.

Brown Deer Park Boathouse

by Roger on January 27, 2013

Went out for a walk the other day in Brown Deer Park.  Getting a bit of cabin fever so figured we’d get out.  Even though it is the gray time of year, the Brown Deer Park boathouse on the water looks pretty cool.

Alone at the Beach

by Roger on January 25, 2013

Spent the entire day wrapping up my Photoshop Level 1 class.  It ended up much larger than I intended.  This is the “instructor-led” version.  Once I finish with Level 2, I’m going to work on a personal version, complete with video.  Been meaning to do that for awhile.  Hopefully, folks will find it useful.

Today’s photo is another one from the beach. I like the fact that with the exception of the sea gull, she was the only one at the beach.
