A new year is knocking on the door

2010-12-31T08:53:00.000-08:00

A Collage of "My Best of 2010" - these are photographs I like the most, photographs that others liked very much too, photographs that were favorites for so many of you and last but not least: photographs I have sold in 2010. It was a good year in photography for me and I'm very thankful for that!

It's time to say THANK YOU to all of you for all your visits and your wonderful comments and compliments in 2010. I would love to see you coming back next year to my humbled blog again.

I will reduce my posting to maybe max. 3 times a week, because I want to learn something new in IM and I have a very good teacher at my side, an known old Guru and Master in IM business :)) I just hope he will have enough patience with his sometimes inpatient student....*smile*....

Well, then.....HAPPY NEW YEAR my friends!!!

May all your personal wishes come true and may the people finally learn to keep PEACE on this Earth.

See you next year!

~Susanne

Sanibel and Captiva Island Photos

High palm tree and Florida clouds

Beaches with white sand they look almost like snow :-)

Entrance to the beach

Some wildflowers are still growing in the hot sand

Lined up and waiting...

...and fighting too...

One has always his mouth loud and open

Red wildflowers on the way to the beach

Yellow wildflower - it looks almost like a wild "Black eyed Susan"

A pretty butterfly enjoys the nectar of that blue flower

This were the last pictures I made of Sanibal and Captiva Island. There will more photographs come from other places like the Panhandle of Florida and it's coast. Stay tuned... :-)

Storm over the Everglades

2008-04-24T13:02:00.000-07:00

The old Alligator Alley Road - or Highway 41

These beautiful sun ray came up after the sun disappeared

Have you ever seen a cloud like this? It looks more like a U.F.O. for me

It was of course NOT a U.F.O. even I would love to see one, though

It was dark already like in the night - but it was only around 3 p.m.

Can you imagine how high this wall of clouds were and to see this strange formation of that little cloud coming up - it was just a overwhelming feeling and very exciting

A tropical storm silhouette

The last time we drove trough the Everglades to Naples, FL a BIG storm came up. Immediately, the sky got dark, scary lightning flashed and then, the rain poured. In seconds the road was flooded and we had to stop and wait until the worst was over.

Then it was a magic game of mother nature, fantastic to watch, something I will never forget!

There is only one Everglades in the World.

Everglades National Park is the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States. The area boasts rare and endangered species, such as the American crocodile, Florida panther, and West Indian manatee. It has been designated an International Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site, and a Wetland of International Importance, in recognition of its significance to all the people of the world.

A Visit to Tarpon Springs - A Greek Sponge Diver Village

Sponge diver boats in the harbor

Boat Detail and reflections

Typical Greek shops and great restaurants with identical Greek food in the main street

A small taste of Santorini?

Memorial in Tarpon Spring in honor to all the sponge divers who lost their lives in this dangerous profession.

The early sponge industry created a need for eating places at the Docks for the boat crews. Soon, as news of this unusual industry spread, people began to come to the Docks to see the sponges. Shops opened so that the tourists could purchase sponges and other souvenirs. The tourism industry blossomed in Tarpon Springs. Some of the original shops remain at the Docks today, owned by the same families that started them. Through the years more shops have opened, putting the number at well over 100 today. There are approximately fifteen restaurants in the Sponge Docks area, several of them internationally known.

Visitors to the Sponge Docks can shop, eat, take cruises down the Anclote River to the Gulf of Mexico, go deep-sea fishing, visit a saltwater aquarium, see a movie depicting the sponge industry.

Other places to visit in Tarpon Springs include Tarpon Avenue, part of the National Main Street program, with its antique shops and artists' galleries.

The Cultural Center on South Pinellas Avenue provides art exhibits in its museum and walking/bus tours of the city.

At the Universalist Church on Grand Boulevard the paintings of George Inness, Jr., a world-renowned artist who made his home here, can be seen from October to May.

St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral, a replica of St. Sophia Cathedral in Constantinople, is open daily to visitors and worshippers. The Shrine of St. Michael, a small chapel built by a Greek family in thanks for the miraculous cure of their young son, is open daily.

The City Library, on Lemon St., with its collection of 85,000 print and nonprint materials for adults and children, is a member of the Pinellas Public Library Cooperative, allowing access to holdings of its fourteen member libraries. Access to libraries outside the Cooperative is available through interlibrary loan. The Tarpon Springs Library is completely automated and has special collections of maritime, business, and genealogical resources.

Thunderstorm over Tarpon Spring

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

2008-02-14T06:43:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentine's Day

If I could be the postman
For just one single time,
I'd choose to carry Valentines
So lovely and so fine.
I would not mind the heavy load,
Or mind my tired feet.
If I could scatter happiness
All up and down the street.

Shrimp Boats and a Rainbow

2008-02-07T09:39:00.001-08:00

Shrimp boats in the harbor, waiting for the next day work

Last sunbeams over the harbor region in Apalachicola

The sun is gone and there is only tranquility left over the water

The evening comes slow over the bay area

This picture was made two hours ago the others above - after a big short rain was a wonderful, huge rainbow to see in the sky

These are my last pictures from Apalachicola. Soon I will post more from another destination from my travels in Florida. Stay tuned - and enjoy!

Shrimp Boat and Elvis Presley

2008-02-06T15:25:00.000-08:00

Song of the Shrimp Lyrics
Artist(Band):Elvis Presley

(Words & music by Bennett - Tepper)

I saw three shrimp in the water,
two were old and gray
I swam a little bit closer and ..
I heard the third one say

Goodbye mama shrimp,
papa shake my hand
Here come the shrimp boat for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimp boat for to take me to Louisian'

He showed his mama and papa, the shrimp newspaper he read
An invitation to all the shrimp and this is what it said

Free ride, New Orleans, stay in grand hotel
Meet Creole gal who help you come out of your shell
Meet Creole gal who help you come out of your shell

If I should live to be ninety, I will never forget
The little shrimp and the song he sang as he jumped into the net

Goodbye mama shrimp,papa shake my hand
Here come the shrimp boat for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimp boatfor to take me to Louisian'

Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian'

Apalachicola - Evenings lights in the harbor

2008-02-04T07:34:00.001-08:00

Evening lights in the harbor in a little rain in Apalachicola in north Florida's Panhandle. The birds were fighting for their food by the old shrimp boats.
