Florida Favorites: My Favorite!

Post 4 of 4!

Well if you didn't see this coming, then you must not know me very well - but my absolute favorite thing about Florida is starting life with this lovely lady below...

That's our kitchen/dining room table - we love it! It has been really fun to find furniture and fill our new home, and we are so excited to share the space together soon! We also started with this as our first couch...

...a folded up comforter with two pillows against the wall! Then we upgraded to this one and appreciated it that much more...

 

I'm excited to share my photography with you and parts of my life as well. I am hoping to find some cool places to take some photos down here in south Florida, so if anyone knows of any places in Boca Raton, Deerfield, Delray, Fort Lauderdale, Dania, Hollywood, Miami, etc...please feel free to share! I would love to photography favorite places you've been or things you've seen.

Check back often!

Florida Favorites: Water

Post 3 of 4....

Living near the water is something Christina and I both see in our future - as much as we can make it happen that is. We love the beach, the ocean, waves crashing, and of course the pure beauty of water. I love how some of the simplest things in the world are the most beautiful. So to accompany that thought are some photos of water of course...

Lots of sprinklers down here! Goes with
the water theme...right?!

Fort Pierce - of the Atlantic Ocean of course

Post 4 comes tomorrow! Thanks for looking and hope you enjoyed! Any feedback is appreciated - whether it is about the layout of the page, photos, or anything else!

Florida Favorites: The Great Outdoors

I definitely love being outside and that is truly something I enjoy about being in Florida. I have been on more walks in the past month than I went on in the 6 before - and I am enjoying every single one! Some are hotter than others!

So the next on my list is the great outdoors and here are my accompanying photos!

Farmer's Market in Ft. Pierce - near Vero Beach

Watching beautiful sunsets.
This one is in Ft. Pierce.

 And of course golf - even though I've
only gone to the driving range so far!

One post per day for 4 days.

That's my goal. Let's see how I do!

Florida Favorites: Flowers

To continue my list from my last post, what I also definitely enjoying are all the flowers. There are so many beautiful flowers, in so many bright colors that it's hard to get tired of seeing them everywhere you go. Here are just a few photos - I will probably have many more of flowers from Florida in the future! Or maybe I'll do a post of flowers from around the world - since off hand I know I have flower photos from Ecuador, all of the US, and probably Haiti to name a few.

Boca Raton to Hollywood and Back

So most of my time these past few weeks has been spent in Boca Raton and Hollywood, or driving back and forth.

I am going to list some of the things I am enjoying about Florida, with photos of course:

1. The wildlife - tons of birds, lizards, fish, frogs, rabbits, and plenty more. One night I was out for a walk on a golf course and it was a little freaky because of how many frogs were on the golf course. Felt like a visual representation of one of the plagues in the Old Testament! But I love seeing lizards all over the place. Christina said there was a lizard in the apartment last week - and she had to use her skills to convince it to leave, they are so fast!! But we also have a lizard that we named Cam - it reminded me of a chameleon because of the bright green color:



He also is in the process of growing back his tail. I caught some other photos of some lizards, but Cam is pretty chill and seems to like our patio as much as we do and doesn't run away when you are close by.






I think it realized that there was nothing to jump to - but I guess it was enjoying the view.

I also got some photos of a couple dragonflys the other day - they are extremely difficult to get a photo of while they are flying, so the ones I got were of when they weren't:







The list will continue in my next post!

Been a while?

WOW! Here I am almost a month after my last post and I am writing in a Panera because I don't have internet in my temporary housing - unless I sit outside, the wind is blowing just right, and the relative humidity is 85%. Haha so I have not been able to update on Floridian life or post photos. But I am going to attempt to start taking some more photos and doing more posts now that I/we are somewhat settled down here!

I am still looking for a job - whether it be with a church, ministry, or organization in Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, or the surrounding areas or maybe even some photography work - know anyone in the area that wants some photos taken?! Who knows. Keep my search in prayer in the meantime. I have some applications floating around out there along with my resume to a couple contacts, so who knows what God will do with all that.

Will be posting some favorite photos from being in Florida so far...
