Editors note: Today we have another awesome report from our roving correspondent MaryKate. She’s back in Alaska, this time in Seward. Just looking at this gives me some relief from our still hot Central Florida weather – enjoy! Thanks for having me for my 10th blog post at CFPO, and for a recap of my … Continue reading Killer (Whale) Trip to Alaska!
The last time I wrote about covered bridges was way back in August of 2007 when we visited Indiana (The Covered Bridge Capital of the World). I find them interesting, so maybe it’s time for another article! When we were in Bethlehem, PA, we had some extra time and Lynn found a web page describing … Continue reading Covered Bridges
MK has been trying to get us to go on the Dolphin Discovery Tour Eco boat ride out of New Smyrna Beach. We finally made time and Lynn and I went with her last Sunday. Howard and Nancy T. joined us for a wonderful two-hour tour and a nice dinner afterward. Brown Pelican in Breeding … Continue reading Pretty Pelicans and Playful Porpoise

We tried a new sunrise location, Alan Shepard Park, right on the beach in Cocoa where SR 520 ends. Even though we got blocked by a train stuck on the tracks and a closed parking lot, … Continue reading A Marvelous Morning

Enjoy! In late September, I had the pleasure of visiting Monette … Continue reading Day Trip to Whittier, Alaska
Lynn and I returned from the Florida Keys a week ago. This morning, we’re waiting to see what Hurricane Irma is going to do and it looks like it might pass directly over Bahia Honda State Park as a Cat 4 or Cat 5 storm. It’s hard to imagine the damage that could result.
It’s been a while since our last trip to Wisconsin to see Mike and Sara (April of 2015!), so Lynn and I were excited to spend a week with them at the beginning of August.
I grew up near Washington DC, and I’ve made many trips (both business and pleasure) to the area since then. So I feel somewhat qualified to offer ideas on photo opportunities in our nation’s capital.
It was exciting to spot a Bobcat. It was stalking slowly through the grass, but I only manage a single (poor) frame before it disappeared. I wish it had lingered for a few minutes so I could get a better shot.
Cloudy skies add interest, and chasing rainbows is fun photography. I really didn’t mind being followed by rain clouds.
