Got up at 4 am to visit a special place to photograph – Hutchinson Island, Stuart, FL. A favorite location due o the shoreline of Anastasia Limestone formations. The limestone formations run along the east coast of Florida from Palm Beach to St Augustine. The make a beautiful foreground for any photographer.

Traveled to a location to photograph Downtown Miami at night. I took a series of photos to catch the transition from sunset to night time.

I traveled with my friend Ivan to visit Kirby Storter Park in the Big Cypress Preserve of Highway 41. It was a long ride to the interior region of the Everglades. After waiting till the sun went down, the stars started to shine through the blue skies. The darker the skies got, the more stars appeared. It was amazing. This is my first attempt at a Milky Way capture and it was a challenge. The key is to focus your camera before it gets dark, otherwise you have to do it by feel.
Be sure you got some really great mosquito repellant – I highly recommend a product called Repel – Lemon Eucalyptus – Repel 94109 Lemon Eucalyptus Natural Insect Repellent, 4-Ounce Pump Spray – Order it from Amazon

I visited Coconut Grove with a fellow photographer and we walked about enjoying the scenery. The sailboats on the bay always strike my interest as the are anchored right off shore. There were so many sailboats anchored in the bay that it seemed very crowded. I got some great shots.

It was an early morning as I walked along the seawalls of Coconut Grove. I looked out into the water and saw the still water of Biscayne Bay as the sun began to rise. There was a slight sheen of gas and oil on a small part of the water and small boat had just come from a sail boat to pick up supplies or perhaps some breakfast. For me, I was just enjoying the colors of the morning in Coconut Grove.
