greatest hits - vol. I

i had the pleasure of taking my cousin's fancy schmancy camera out earlier this week and got several incredible shots.  it made me really miss having a manual and being able to control focal length, etc.  after a beautiful afternoon of shooting i had several great shots to add to my (already bulging) collection of beach photographs.  so, i figure, let's see the greatest hits thus far.  Yes, i limited them to only horizontal shots, not because i don't know how to shoot vertically, just thought consistency would be good :)

pardon me, i have seaweed to photograph

went on a little field trip the other day to try and capture some of the flavor of my favorite little beach - siesta key.  some of these pics will likely end up in a painting down the road here.

banyan trees in the residential area - you know have no idea how much i would have given to play in one of these as a kid

gorgeous colors

i would love to have a place here - kitschy fabulous type, and did i mention.. right on the beach?

*deep sigh*

great signage in siesta's little "downtown" area

cuties devouring ice cream.  check out those boots!

more kitschy fabulousness

anyone else seeing the edward hopper reference here?

tenacity might be part of it, but i suspect money also plays a big role

weathered aqua wood - what is not to love?

how "floridian" are they?
