This is a picture I took when I was sent out to take some stock photos at the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge a
couple of days ago. Other than the bright sunny days in Florida, these rain clouds are what I will remember. Tomorrow
is my last day at work, and living here in southern Florida. It has all been a great experience and I have met some great
people. Within 6 months I have lived on opposite coasts, life is such a tie dye whirlwind, and I love it.

Spent Christmas day at the bowling alley with the Jewish community, there was dreidel competitions, latkes, and Menorah
lighting. It was my first warm Christmas ever, as I spent Christmas Eve swimming in the ocean.

I got this roll of film developed today and it surprised me with what was on it. I was happy to see familiar faces that I will
be seeing soon. Maddie & Cayce, I will be seeing you shortly.

Early day of work covering a marathon, downfall. But, there was a beautiful sunrise.

Aristotle the great.

I wanted to take all these dogs home with me.

Florida cows are no friend of mine.

Sorry for the rather large post, but I combined some behind the scenes pictures, before the pre-judging with some portraits.
If you couldn't figure it out, yes, a body building competition. Although it was a long day, I had a lot of fun with everyone.
If you want to check out a video of the competition my friend, Thomas Cordy, made one, here.

Cuidado.

A couple more assignments for the Times, things have slowed down for now, so I can take a breath. If you want to
check out the articles, here and here.

Happy Veterans Day. To my both grandpas, and everyone, thank you for your service and everything you've done. These
are just various assignments from, a memorial, swearing in of new U.S. citizens, and vet's day service.

My Florida home is special, but nothing like Athens.

It has been raining here lately, a lot.

Happy Halloween everyone! In Florida this is what you do to celebrate Halloween, other than going to get candy, you
dive into a pool and swim to get get a pumpkin that you can carve. Yes, it is still warm enough to go swimming.

Had a New York Times assignment for a Mayoral candidate, Steve Berke. Wish I had more time to hang out with him, he
seemed like a funny guy. Story here.

Fannie is 100 years old and she made my day.

I love plants and detail pictures.

One of my first pictures in the paper here. I covered the feature aspect of the first game played in FAU's new
stadium. Ironically enough they played Western Kentucky. Although the weather was cloudy, I enjoyed not
having to cover the action.
