I'm currently working on a new blog site for a new construction community, Avalon at Jacksonville Beach. I needed some photos for the website, so off to the beach I went with my super duper amazing camera. First shot taken and my camera says, "no storage device"..... WHAT?  Somehow I had left the storage card in my computer after downloading the last photos.  Homes for sale in Jacksonville Beach Well, I was at the beach, and I had my iphone, so surely I could get at least a couple decent shots.  This is the photo, straight out of my iphone, with my watermark added.  with a little cropping and some hdr adjustments, I got kind of a cool image... but it wasn't quite what I was looking for....  Finally changing to posterize and doing a closer crop to the Jacksonville Pier, I have what I fee...

I'm working on some new photos for a new custom home builder community in Jacksonville Beach. I've spent the last few days building a website and really wanted some photos of the community. There are always so many interesting things to find around Jacksonville Beach.  Homes for sale in Jacksonville Beach Today, one of my inspirations was a group of red lifeguard seats. They were sitting out in front of the American Red Cross building. Close up, I find them really interesting architecturally...  I liked the boat that was nestled here among the chairs...  OK, and finally for my two favorite photos of the day...  I don't know why, but I really like the OFF here... KEEP is over there on the left, but I didn't get all of that in my frame.  This last one is actually my favorite. I don't know...

The first 5 reasons to buy in Jacksonville Beach, FL. 1. The first no brainer is the beautiful and free beach with many, many easy accesses. 2. The weather here is really nice. It IS really hot in the summer but we do actually get a winter but it IS mild. 3. Great restaurants are all around for 10 miles up and down the beach. Some are actually ON the ocean. 4. We have Publix grocery stores—Four of them within 10 miles . LOVE them! 5. Some of the nicest people in the world live here. This place is FRIENDLY! How can you be sad or rude when you live on vacation?

Christmas Music in Jacksonville Beach, FL . I was in a K-Mart a few days ago and much to my amazement I heard a song that caught my attention. I honestly had to stop in my tracks and listen. Yes, folks, it turned out to be a Christmas song. This is almost funny to me since Halloween candy is still around most people's homes. I understand that we are all in business and until money is exchanged, there is NO business. I just am stunned that they are already planting the seeds of two holidays away. Seems somehow irreverent, doesn't it?

I planned to early vote today, primarily due to the very lengthy ballot we have, with the constitutional amendments. I marked my choices on my sample ballot, and reviewed the bios available to me on the sample ballot to make an informed decision. I reviewed the constitutional amendments (with the help of voter guide courtesy of my local paper) and researched the Supreme Court Justices up for merit retention. Regardless of how you vote, or who you vote for, remember that your vote does count, and get out and VOTE! Early voting here in Jacksonville, FL runs through tomorrow with most early voting places open from 7am - 7pm.

Just couldn't resist - this shot was taken near the end of the Show when all the Blue Angels were passing along the shore for the crowd. When you are shooting this type of shot, you don't even know what you have until you look at it. It was thrilling to have caught them like this! Go Blue Angels!!!

Speechless Sunday - Jacksonville Air Show | October 20, 2012 It was a glorious day for the annual Jacksonville Air Show, held this year at Jacksonville Beach. (Next year it will be at NAS Jax.)  This photo was shot when the Blue Angels were making their last run at the end of the show. This was the first year we made it to the Beach to see the show. I think this will be a semi-annual event for us. It combines the best of everything - a day at the beach, a thrilling Air Show complete with the roar of jets overhead and the one and only Blue Angels!

I was fortunate to be invited to an ocean front condo for the air show yesterday, where we had the opportunity to watch the Blue Angels from the roof top.  It feels as though they are right on top of your head! Here is one of the pictures I managed to catch:

It's that time of year again, and the Beaches turn to host the Sea & Sky Spectacular!  We'll have aircraft practicing towards the latter part of the week, so prepare your households (parents, kids & pets) for the noise booms we have not heard for the past two years.  Be prepared for road closures during the latter part of the week (see link for more details), as well as parking restrictions. On the days of the event, we have a ton of traffic, so please be patient; coupled with road closures, and parking lot closures, it makes more sense to many to park at free lots offering shuttle transit, or to bike to the beach to watch the show.  Can't wait to see the Blue Angels!
