Atlantis, Nassau Jelly Fish


Took two weeks off from Shot of the Day while on vacation. I did not get as many Shot of the Day candidates as I would have liked. Most of my pictures were standard vacation shots. I liked this one, however, of a jellyfish in the exhibit at the fantastic Atlantis Resort. We didn't stay there (just walked through) but what a fantastic place.

Sometimes you feel like an...Elephant Seal


I have definitely felt like this after a nice dinner. Coming down California Route 1 you come alongside a favorite beach of the Elephant Seal, especially after the spring birthing season. Very cool to get up close on a walking bridge overlooking the beach.

Water Theme Continues....California Coast


Back on the California coast from last year's road trip. Lots of great spots to stop and work your way down to as close as you dare to the shoreline. Love the ocean, especially when you can stay on the shore looking at it.

Hermosa Beach Pier


Like the colors of the sky reflected in the water below the pier at Hermosa Beach.

Hermosa Beach Surfer

This statue is down the block from one of my favorite hotels in the country, the Beach House in Hermosa Beach, California. What a fun place to collapse after a long day of meetings. The rooms are large and clean and the location can't be beat. Plus, there are about a dozen restraurants right around the corner.

Old San Juan Sidewalk Showdown


It was going to be him or me. One of us was going to take the sidewalk. The other left crying in the street. You decide how it will end.....

Capture My Chicago Photo Contest


The voters on the Capture My Chicago photo contest, a project to capture the best shots of Chicago, voted this picture one of my three best shots of the city of Chicago. Sometimes you have to go far to get color, sometimes just to the near northside over by Elston and Divison. I doubt if my shots will qualify for the book, but it was nice getting some votes for this shot.
