The tide recedes, but leaves behind bright shells on the sand. The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land. The music stops, yet echoes on in sweet and soulful refrains. For every moment that passes, something beautiful remains. - Unknown Met this cute guy during the stroll by the beach. He was taking the time to enjoy the sun and was strolling even more leisurely to get a dip in the warm waters. If you look close you could see his legs and he dragged lazily towards the water :)
Somewhere, Something incredible is waiting to be known. – Carl Sagan As Spring comes up, so does the galactic arm of the milky way. Due to the curvature and constant movement of the earth, the Milky Way is below the horizon during the months of November to February, and can be enjoyed with the galactic center from March to October (if you live in the northern hemisphere). This shot is from the one of the most know Presides meteor shower from the past year. We drove around the Green river state wildlife area and luckily chanced upon a remote road. As I light painted the foreground with Coast HP7, the meteor sparkled across the night sky. One of the stars even decided to play the head of the comet. Looking forward to more adventurous nights this year :)
Now that is a reason to call Florida - the sunshine state and Tampa seems to be one of heck of a place to enjoy evening sunsets. This particular evening, as I was strolling on the beach of Sand Key Park, just off of Clearwater, was treated with this lovely sunset. The pop corn clouds were making their journey across the sky, the sun was about to hide behind the ocean, the Caribbean blue waters were frolicking the shore and a distant pirate ship was heading back with the loot. As I later found the pirate turned out to be Captain Memo, jaunting across the horizon. But nevertheless, it did not take away any of the magic from the evening … After all not all treasures are Silver and Gold , right :)
