Biked over to Lansbrook Park after dinner (yes sounds like a routine sometimes! if I end up working all day and sundown is approaching, I hop on my bike and take the 2 mile journey over there)

On the drive to John Chestnut Park and from the car while listening to an audio program by Gregg Braden

A few time-lapses from the Dunedin Causeway..

This is the first take of the little planet time-lapse shot at Sunset Park in Tarpon Springs..

in / near the Holey Land Wildlife Management Area and Stormwater Treatment Areas (a few miles west of U.S. Hwy 27, between Lake Okeechobee and Alligator Alley)  

Along the causeway in Howard Park as I work on re-coding a new WordPress template for this web site. The sky and feeling in the air after sundown was absolutely amazing and perfectly calm..

Here’s a snapshot with the phone camera while scouting out a location for the shot..

Forgot to consider if the tide would rise when setting this up.. I’m glad I set the camera low enough for an interesting shot yet still a couple/few inches higher than where the tide did rise to!

Next shot will be from a higher angle.. much higher than this when I get a very tall tall tripod in the future..

Yes, this one is very exciting! The lamp and the window, yup, you got it! The ones below are a little more interesting, from Lansbrook Park later in the day..

Biked back to John Chestnut Park again today.. Here are a couple shots from ‘my office’ (Shelter 10) where I worked by Lake Tarpon..

Sitting around the campfire at the Betsie River Campsite in Frankfort, Michigan after returning from the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore..

[this one's at a different spot as the night before i tried to help pull a guy's truck out of the sand/water - his back end was in the bay! i got to try 4 low on my truck, though the rope we found wasn't strong enough so he had a tow truck pull him out with a cable]

shortly after breakfast, getting ready to leave North Peninsula State Park and head toward Atlanta..

Went on a bike ride earlier today.. here are some shots from the Illinois Prairie Path.. what a beautiful day today was in Chicagoland! As soon as I woke up, I could feel a great warm energy all around.. what a turn around from the past couple days that were cold and gray! Everything looked and felt so alive today!

here’s a reverse little planet, a stereographic tunnel.. some stitching errors are visible in this one (the wind was blowing constantly and was pretty strong so the clouds in the last shot were in a different position in the sky than in the first shot and couldn’t align properly) here’s the first take on the top shot (before I decided to slow the frame rate down to compensate for the wind)..

and another shot as the little planet fades out..

From the house..

A couple shots at the house while I worked on finishing adding features to a web application. It’s beautiful to be able to work from wherever I desire, whenever I desire (within limits of deadlines!). I urge you all to do what you love to do! Don’t work just for the money or survival! Go out, explore, do what you love – there are plenty of opportunities to make a living doing what you desire. If you feel you can’t [...]

A time-lapse from the boat dock at Lansbrook Park.. I didn’t bring the whole 360×180 rig with me this time so took a different approach in the editing..
