Exploration Photography Daily View - September 14, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Continuing with our Florida trip I would like to share a photo from our "trip within a trip". As you know from one of my posts last week Kim and I drove from Orlando out to the coast to Cocoa Beach. It was our first time there and I loved it! Perfect weather and a simply beautiful beach with pristine aqua colored ocean water. And the water was so warm. Of course the sun was very strong and oh so hot but we were prepared and had our beach umbrella and chairs with us. And as I rested in my chair I naturally had my camera with me. Well, three cameras actually. I had my DSLR, one of my film cameras and as always my phone. Today's photo was taken with my DSLR and long lens. When I am at one of our local Jersey Shore beaches I see lots of seagulls. And I saw a lot in Florida too. But up here I never see any of these.

Now I am not sure if pelicans are native to anywhere in the northeast but I do know that I have never seen them. And once again I don't think this is my best attempt but it was the best shot I had. And birds in flight can be tough. At least for me.

And now...

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Yesterday I told you that I had a lot to share with you from our trip to Orlando. And boy do I?! And to start off I thought I would show you this view from in front of the building in which our suite was located.

This small man made lake was on the other side of our parking area. You can't see from this shot but there was loads of turtles and frogs. And there was usually a few Herons hanging around too. This is just a sampling of the beautiful landscaping that the resort offered. In case you are interested we were staying at Mystic Dunes Resort. It is located just outside of Orlando in neighboring Celebration Florida. A rather young community at just 22 years old. Celebration is basically a resort town. I am not even sure if there are any permanent residences there. But hey, it has a Wawa! It made us feel right at home.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Last week was a good one my friends. Kim and I had a relaxing trip to Florida and made the most of every minute. And I'll be sharing a lot of it with you in the coming days. But as much fun as our vacation was the drive to and from was also quite enjoyable. Especially the trip home. So for today's photo I would like share a piece of it with you. This is what I call our North Carolina Welcoming Committee.

And let me tell you, for my money North Carolina had the nicest Welcome Center. That is where I shot this.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Well folks,  Kim and I are still on the road so this is coming to you mobile. Well sort of. Actually I am between plates at a Golden Corral in Virginia.

Anyway, this is a view of I-95 from high above South of the Border in South Carolina.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Today is a travel day for Kim and me so this is going to be very brief.

This is my attempt of capturing the early morning Sun with my phone.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

The photo I posted yesterday of the rocket launch at Cape Canaveral was shot from the beach. After arriving and setting up my equipment I had time to look around a bit and of course I saw lots of seagulls. And what trip to the beach would be complete without a seagull photo?

I have a feeling there is more where this one came from. Stay tuned.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

While vacationing here in Orlando Kim and I thought it would be nice to take an hour drive to see sunny Cocoa Beach Florida. Naturally I got lots of great shots of the beach but I am not sharing one of those with you today. Unknown to either of us when we set out for the day was the fact that there was going to be a rocket launch at Cape Canaveral, which is right next door to Cocoa Beach. You can read about the launch here. Now you know I had to try to shoot it. And while I didn't get the best shots in the world I think this one came out okay.
