You’d think I’d never seen a palm tree before the way I stopped to take pictures of each one I saw on this trip. I took pictures of them at the toll booth.

  1. You have an excellent eye for photography!  Keep up the good work. You failed to mention where you took these?
     Do you do all your own FOOD photography too?  If so, very good!  I also love to cook and try several new recipes each week.  Are your recipes original or are you trying recipes you've found and then try and pass on to all your readers?

  2. Thanks. The beach shots were taken at Pompano Beach FL and the sunsets right outside Incredible Ice. Yeah, I know it now has a new name, but I like the old names. If they ever rename Joe Louis Arena to  some sponsor's name I'll still call it The Joe.
      Yes, I take all my food photos too. Other people's Food photography is what inspired me to start a blog in the first place.
     
    What's your latest favorite recipe? I love finding out what other people are making for dinner, lunch, snack whatever.
