Vapor trails

The vapor trails of the jets coming from the south and going towards New York or Atlanta or wherever are cool looking in the morning. I like to think about whoever is in the window seats, looking out at the Atlantic or maybe seeing the flat Florida landscape go by. There was thunder in the distance this morning, so the dog and I made a quick walk of it and got back just ahead of the rain.

Sun, no sun

Sun

No sun

The light! The light!

Hurrying along the path, outrunning all the casual visitors (my path! Mine!) and saw our shadows in front of us. I've never felt so tall.

Little stars

Tiny starbursts in the grass, I had to look for something to love with my camera this morning. I didn't want to take my hands out of my pockets because it was so darn cold out. Forgot my gloves.

It rained last night

 All the trees and flowers had little drops of water suspended from them. It was very pretty.

I don't know what this is before it goes to seed, but I love the shapes of the pods. There are so many! It seems extravagant. But there's probably a good reason. I just don't know what it is.

Dried flowers

 I love walking in the Julington Durbin Preserve this time of year. All the flowers have gone to seed, but they're still beautiful.

I'm using the macro setting on my camera. The flash is kaput, so I try to keep my hand steady, with mixed results.

If I focus the camera while it's pointed toward the ground, it automatically widens the aperture, so that when I aim it up at the flower, it doesn't take a dark picture.

It's been kinda cold

The good news is that means I get to take some pretty pictures. Saw palmetto, covered with frost front and center and then bonus! colored leaves in the background where the sun was just hitting everything.
