New camera lens

My favorite subject cooperated nicely on the evening of purchasing my new lens!  This was taken in low light in the bedroom. That, and the new camera make quite an image.

Dali Museum

After buying our motorhome, we went to St. Petersburg and visited the Dali and Chihuly museums.  Dali far more interesting perspective that I realized, with hidden images in his work.  No photos allowed in either museum, but the building here was worth the visit!  Amazing!  I took so many photos, and Clem was very patient.  :-)

We did it!!!

Spent the last two days in Ft Meyers and Tampa shopping for RV's , and a bit of sight seeing.
And we bought one!

Also visited St. Petersburg after making decision, so stay tuned for those photos....some cool ones!
On my way to class at FAU Lifelong Learning.....no good photos for that!  :-)

Can you feel the breezes blowing??

This is the most beautiful day one could imagine!  Warm and sunny with  cool breezes blowing across the lake, whistling through the palms and  gently blowing through  the house.  Wow.  This is TRULY why we are here.  A lot of the country has been getting clobbered this winter, and we have had some chilly temps to be sure,  but can't complain.  And this week has made up for the chill we had.

Now, this may look like a snap shot, but in fact, I have set the aperture to get deep depth of field, so you can see the table, pool, palms and lake in focus!  But I really took the shot to remember this beautiful day....and to remember that Clem is right.  In our search for a larger house , we DO want to be on a body of water!  The breezes come off the lake even when there is little elsewhere, creating such a feeling of serenity.

This cat is into his comfort!

No fancy photography here, just a quick snap shot of the big Sas taking a nap with his head propped against the pillow!  He sure knows how to find the cozy spaces!

Beautiful evening, and I talked Clem into going out with me just before sunset, to see if I could find something interesting to shoot.  The places we went did not turn up much, but they did turn up what might be our new favorite ice cream!!  Haha!  And I was determined to lose some weight!  Not with THAT stuff!!

This one was taken through frosted glass that had small burst shape openings.  Kind of interesting.  Maybe some other subject might work better.  Reflected light added to this shot.  

and some experimental shots

Still on the bike with the point and shoot.  May have to go back with the "real" camera!

haha.....just noticed if you look closely at the reflection in the mirror, you see me at the bottom taking the photo!

Waterway from top of bridge

This is the floating bar where we had drinks several weeks ago, when I posted photos of us and friends.  This day I took a bike ride wondering if I could cross the PGA bridge and not be killed!  Turned out not only could I do it , but I could stop at the top and take a photo!  This is my little point and shoot.

Loki loves the pool

He sits out there along side the pool, and often gets a drink.
Here he had just had one, and is just hanging out on the edge!
