GLASS OFF THE BEACH

One thing that amazes me is how few people can actually read any more. It's evident at the beach every day with many beach goers bringing their bottles of beer and liquor and drinking from them in plain sight. One thing a lot of these beach goers aren't expecting though is to see the Miami Beach police out patrolling for just this such of thing. Here's a shot of one doing his best to keep the beach glass free. And the fines aren't cheap.............$50 per BOTTLE, whether empty or full. At least ONE good thing is coming from this, and that's a glass free environment which is needed when everyone is running around barefooted. Now if they could just get rid of the smoking on the beach..............

BEACH DAY IN HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA!!!

Today Maria, Jimmy, and I decided to go to the beach here in Hollywood, FL. What an absolutely GORGEOUS day for the beach! The water was wonderful, the beach wasn't crowded, and a great time was had by all. It's so nice having a beach only 4 minutes from where we live. And the guys I work with up in Newark wonder why I want to commute? Pah-leez!!! ;-)

CLOUD SHADOW

Here's a view from the cockpit of what we see right before we fly through a cloud. Sometimes it's hard to get a shot like this due to the fact that the camera has nothing to focus on. But.....every now and then I get lucky and a picture like this pops up. That's one of the neat things about being up front..........the view we have. Pretty cool, isn't it?

BEACH PARROTS!!!

While walking down the beach broad walk in Hollywood today, I heard the familiar squawk of a few Quaker parrots up in the trees. I looked up and saw this guy working on his new home. Their was another parrot in the nest behind him giving orders (had to be a female because she wouldn't stop squawking).........ahhhh, to be the man of the house. LOL

SUN SHOWER!!

Well, I finally got back home from being on the road for four days. Went to Puerto Rico, Dallas, and Tampa. Long trip, but I got through it okay.......... ;-) Departing Tampa (TPA) last night, we saw this incredible blast of sunlight coming through the clouds. It was an awesome sight, and looked just like a "sun shower". Too bad their was a nice cell phone tower that decided to show up in the photo. Oh well, I think it's a great shot anyway.
