Crazy Camera dude...

Jungle Prada Pier

I grew up in St. Petersburg just a couple blocks
from Boca Ciega Bay. This is the place my dad
used to launch our boat from and where I would
fish when we wouldn't be out in the boat. It is
still very peaceful and you can still see the boats
coming and going - some 45 years later.....

CARPE DIEM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seize the day!
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.....

LOOK at things different today!
Stand on your car!
Tilt your head at an angle for 2 hours...
Stand on your house!
Lay in the grass and look at the world!

A different perspective can be refreshing!!!!!!

Another Wild Woman!

This wild looking woman was spotted
in the Tampa Bay area several times
recently! Obviously, some crazy biker
chick - beware and avoid at all costs!
As Mr. T used to say, "I pitty the
fool"!

2 Hotties on the loose!!!

Courtney and her friend Michelle!
Trust me! They are up to no good!
Beware!!!!

I took this image of Tampa International
Airport and used a Photoshop finishing
touch called "two-photo effect". You
actually use the same photo twice!

CHARLIE HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Captain has landed!

The long awaited, much anticipated
call came around noon!!!! Dan and I
had visited with a customer, had lunch
and I was dropping him off at the office
when I noticed I had a call - YUP! He
said - "Old Man - I'm back in the USA"!
I screamed out the window, called him
back - IT'S REAL - he's home! Thank
God!

Here he is flying down the Dragon last
June - we will do it again in May!!!!

ON THE WAY!

Charlie left Baghdad this morning for his 1st
leg on his journey back home!!!!!! He should
be back in the states Thursday / Friday!!!!
We will be counting the hours until we hear.....

Beware!

Pete the Pelican

Up early!

On the weekends I get up real early,
make some coffee and head off before
dawn to catch the beautiful sunrises
we enjoy here! This Sunday Linda
decided to come with me and
it was a little too cold for her, but I
did get her out for a few shots!

Old School!

Now here is one to make you laugh!
My brother cleaned out an old shed
of his and found this old poster of me
from over 33 years ago! Tom brings
it to Florida and Steve (Camera Hutt)
makes me an 8 x 10 - I scanned it
and here it is.... That's me in the air
with all the BLACK hair - boy, I'd like
to have that back!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLIE!!!!

Charlie turns 27 today! If you could custom
order a son, he would be just like Charlie! I
have no idea why our Lord blessed me with
a son like this, but I appreciate it! He is currently
in Iraq with the US Army Special Forces, but
is due to fly out in 14 days! Happy Birthday son!

Blue morning

For My Soldier!

Sunday was an incredibly day for the Tampa
Bay area - the weather was beautiful and we
are dead in the middle of winter??? We hung
out at the beaches for a while and headed
back home to watch the Playoffs AND we got
a phone call from Charlie! They are 8 hours
ahead in Baghdad and he was still working at
11:00PM. He's fine and still expecting to come
home in early March. Stella has come to stay
with us for a few days while Courtney's firm
is in trial.... and on we go...

Super Comeback Lifts Dungy, Colts

Good Food

Do yourself a favor and check out The Crab Shack
when you are in St. Petersburg. Great food at
good prices!

Behind this door you can have an
awesome fish dinner! The Crab Shack
on Gandy Blvd in St. Petersburg.

My buddy Harley

Here is yet another shot of my buddy,
Harley. He is a beautiful Lab and never
has a dull moment!

Wall Art

This is the wall of the Kwik Stop Market - it amazes
me to see the talent of the people that paint these
wall murals.

Drip

This old faucet has dripped FOREVER!

Fresh Fish!
