Teenage Rock 'n' Roll

Well, we're here in Florida only two or three weeks and our house is filling up with teenagers. I'm happy because I was worried that Victoria would be lonely since she doesn't know anyone here. Silly me. There is pool activity, beach activity and of course, tons of computer, Internet, "whatever" activity. Last night the kids were blasting their music and dancing around the pool. We are making and unmaking beds, finding room for everyone since some kids have traveled here from as far away as Boston.

If we do stay in Florida, I realize we will have a desirable winter destination home. I love all the activity but it is tough trying to get work done. I'm pretty lazy right now. I should be marketing my work, updating my website, and myriad other details. But I'm taking a cue from the kids and enjoying life.

Floridian Life Continued

I'm really enjoying Floridian life. The heat is intense this time of year but it doesn't seem to be bothering me. It helps to have a pool of course. There is always a terrific ocean breeze. It's big sky country down here with lots of huge, beautiful, cumulus clouds. There is quite an assortment of birds. I didn't realize that Bluejays and Cardinals lived this far south. But there are quite a few of them in the garden here. We all seem to be enjoying the outdoor lifestyle. So far, so good. Maybe we will stay.

Early Morning in Florida

The early morning sun blasts through the wooden window shutters with such strength and determination I'm spell bound.

We made it to Florida. We're on the other side of the Atlantic. Jet travel never ceases to amaze me. One minute you are in one country, speaking a particular language, thinking and dealing with life's necessities in that particular culture and in several hours you are transported to another country, culture and language. Sometimes its very confusing. Other times it is completely inspiring. Sometimes both. The photo above is a romantic shot of our new garden gate. It happened completely by chance. It was early morning, very humid and my lens was not the same temperature as the outside so it completely fogged up.
