A Palm Tells a Story

Photo 320 - 321: After leaving Reno, I flew down to Ft. Lauderdale for Memorial Day Weekend to spend some quality time with my honey. We drove down to Hallandale Beach to catch some live music at night, and Pedro of course was not far behind. The sun was almost done shining it's happy rays on us, and I got some great evening shots of some very pretty palm trees and white sandy beaches. Doesn't it make you want to just watch a sunset? Sigh... can I transfer the weather and the FL beaches to NYC? I'm getting spoiled down here...

Beach Bum Relaxin'

Photo 309 - 310: Who loves the sunshine, the waves and the beach? Who is still in the water taking pictures even if there is a thunderstorm looming? Smart - perhaps not. Amazing photos - absolutely!

Time for FLL

Photo 306 - 308: It's rainy, it's cloudy and still a bit cold outside, so who wants to be sitting on one of these beach chairs? ME! I do get to go down to Miami for work tomorrow, but still... sigh! Summer needs to get here now. Or I just convince my boss that I need to work remotely with my laptop and cell phone in hand.

Last Post Before Egypt

Photo 264 - 265: As I am preparing for my big Egypt trip - i.e. get new camera bag, clean Pedro, charge batteries, etc. - I decided to walk around NYC today to catch a few shots. I just got Pedro spotless, and the pictures were so nice and crisp. I was thrilled. Well that was after I had to go back TWICE to the repair shop to make sure the cleaning was done well... too many specks on my lens and sensor! Eventually, Pedro was perfect... and this girl was a happy camper. What a beautiful day today!

I'm off to Egypt on Friday, so this blog is officially on vacation! I might still have time to post some tomorrow, if not, CIAO until a week from now. :) Get ready for some camel and pyramid shots...

I dream of...

Photo 42-44: Soon I'll be off to Austria, and I can't wait to just go home and relax! It's been quite the summer, and I'm a bit worn out. It's stunning outside today, and hot! The weather is finally participating in this little season called Summer. As I won't be going to anywhere tropical until December, here's a few pictures that Pedro was more than happy to take! Look at the water...

Patterns & Colors

Photo 5: Summer is here this morning, FINALLY. The birds are chirping, the sky is blue, the traffic is still loud and people still feel the need to start honking and screaming up four flights of stairs, but after all of that, it's summer in Brooklyn.


Photo 4: And since I won't have time to post another picture tonight, here is another one with a little color to brighten up your day.

Addendum: As soon as I typed the summer is here, the rain clouds moved in... Go figure, it must be "the element of chance in the affairs of life."
