I had very little time to process some negatives from last week until this evening.  The subject here is the county dock and the arboreal thicket that lives on shore. 

Yesterday, July 21st, I went to Cedar Point to capture what I could see at very low tide. But, I had forgotten my light meter and had to guess at the exposure using the sunny f16 formula that I had to adjust as I was using a number 15 deep yellow filter. When I developed the negatives yesterday afternoon, they wee a disaster!!  I had to throw them away, and I have almost never done that!!  But, today, July 22nd, I went back to the same spot WITH my light meter and took very similar photographs which turned out very well when I developed them earlier today.  Here are three, but there will be more from this roll soon.

The St. Johns River can be quite beautiful when the sky adds its drama to the cypress trees and structures that live there.  Here are two from yesterday....there will be more!

And here's one more from Pumpkin Point that I took on June 7th but just got around to scanning today. 

I finally took my camera away from home for only the second time in a while.  Revisiting sites that have been interesting before, I made these photographs yesterday, June 25th,  The happy news for me is that a number of them were handheld.  I was not too confidant they would be clear as my Pentax 67 is a big-ass and somewhat heavy machine, but, at 1/60th and 1/125th of a second it was fine.  All were from Palmetto Road which goes to the Kingsley Plantation except one from Cedar Point again. 

My photography expedition of two days ago included these additional images that I think are okay after two days of consideration.  Two are trees at the picnic place at Pumpkin Point, one is of the marsh I posted photographs of already, and one is a shrimp boat dock area that I've photographed quite a few times. 

It has been a wonderful sky day with blue skies and puffy clouds. I went a road I've not stopped on for some years, but I did today.  Here's what the sky had to say:

It felt really nice to visit a place I've not been to in at least a year.  It's the Pumpkin Hill canoe and kayak launch area with some very nice views of trees, marsh and a waterway.  Here are several from today.

 

I'm really enjoying deeply seeing what's here at home.  The tree in this photo captivates me every day, and seems to lure me to make frequent portraits.  Some of it is dead, but its bones are a visual treat at least to me!  The dangling branch got me right away, but its shadow made it impossible to ignore. 

I'm still finding subjects worth photographing in the large yard behind our house.  Here are two more:

Gardenias flourish in our backyard just now.  Here are three in good health, and one with the droops...:(

Little Talbot Island SP is a camera magnet, so back I went yet again. The path to the beach (about a half mile) is interesting in itself;  here are three photographs of just a little bit of it. The beach is littered with fallen trees often referred to as driftwood which is isn't. This particular tree intrigued me enough to photograph it even after I had taken the camera off the tripod. The day was bright enough for me to use the camera (P67, 55mm lens) hand held...a shutter speed of 125th second. 

Little Talbot Island State Park is my favorite place to photograph fallen trees which are often described incorrectly as driftwood.  Here are three from a recent visit.  

Here's a series of three photographs taken at sunrise from a hotel room balcony at St. Augustine Beach. 

 

 

Today at Huguenot Park.  I could spend a lot of time photographing the extensive array of dunes, but here are five to begin.
