Photographic Indulgence

After spending the morning studying my trading, we all decided to spend Sunday afternoon being tourists. Bob picked Biscayne National Park as our destination for the afternoon, and when we got there I got to indulge myself!

I developed a love for photography in my mid-late 20s, and put it to one side for most of the last 15 years. One of the many highlights of my time in the US now though is the ample opportunities to get back into it. And today was a wonderful opportunity.

People enjoy photography for a number of different reasons - for me, I love the interplay of light and textures, and the subjects for me aren't so much objects that I photograph as wonders of natures' many forms which play games with light.

Anyway, today Biscayne National Park gave me plenty of light to play with!!



The park is due east from Homestead, on the Atlantic coast. It seems a popular destination for fishermen to head out for their weekend fun.



I'm guessing my friend Alan would have a lot of fun here!! We chatted to some fisherman for a while who were filleting their catch - they also had a few lobster crawling around on the filleting table. No doubt they were destined for dinner.



The marina hosted some lovely boats, and also some other locals enjoying the facilities!!



And as I said, I also indulged my love of light and colours...



Well, back to work next week, then hopefully we can persuade Bob to go down to Florida Keys next weekend!!

Bye for now...
