I realized that I had not written anything here for many months, primarily because I have not been traveling or making many new photographs. So recently, I decided to see what was around me in Florida that I had not really explored much at all. At the same time, the release of COVID vaccines has seemed to open a door to the possibility of traveling again in the not-too-distant future. Elaine and I got our first Pfizer shot this past Sunday, and we are due to return in 3 weeks for our second shot. We both tolerated the immunization just fine and hope that this marks the start of something better this year.
In the meantime, I have found a number of “natural areas” down here in South Florida that are strikingly beautiful. If we had found them for hiking on one of our trips, we would have been quite excited, as they have great trails and beautiful scenery for making images. Two of them, Yamato Scrub and Winding Waters, have really captured my interest and I am looking forward to the right conditions to explore them more fully. The landscapes in these sites are striking and I think some fine photographs can be made at them. One of the recent images is shown below. But I need to get into them more fully with my Nikons, which is something that I am really looking forward to. For the first time in quite a few months, I feel my creative photo juices are again flowing and I am excited to be getting out thee once more.
