During the Wine and Food festival the spot where these plants and fountain are there is a cranberry bog. On any normal time of the year there are just some small flowers that they rotate in and out depending on the season.   Right after the Flower and Garden festival though there is this really [...]

This past weekend in Foley, AL they held their annual hot air balloon festival. Schedules being what they are, we weren’t able to make it over there this year, but it’s definitely a trip we’ll make again. Hopefully next year.   This shot is from back in 2011. It was a warm, calm evening and [...]

Well, it’s here, officially. Yesterday was the first official day of the Atlantic hurricane season. They say it will be a busy year. They always, by the way, say that. Sometimes they’re right, sometimes they’re wrong.   Never hurts to be prepared, though. The best part about hurricanes? Heading out the beach to watch the [...]

On the south end of Oahu as you travel around past Diamondhead you come across these awesome little places to stop on the side of the road and watch the ocean. Yeah, the spots are riddled with tourists and the busses that are moving them around the island. They’re mostly standing on the edge of [...]
