I've been playing in the sun, beneath the water and on the land for about 2 weeks. It's been a great break from the world of being on the road. We're packing up now for adventures farther west - coming right up. We're going about as far west as you can without beginning to come back the other way. They don't call it 'Down Under' for nothing.

I also get to spend some time back in Mokuleia, and Haleiwa Town on the north shore of Oahu. In fact, we're even playing in Honolulu on the return trip. I haven't had a chance to do that for years. Should be a good time!

Anyway, there's still a couple/few days here on the Indian River on the east coast of Florida. And I'm heading outside to grab another few moments of sun before it starts sinking over the horizon. This morning was a beautiful start to the day. Pix to follow...

I love those times when the moon or sun appear to be abnormally huge in the sky.

I posted this on the other thread some while back. It struck me as somewhat comical.

That would be pretty freaking awesome to see... Just great Hahahaha. I used to wonder why when I looked at the moon or sun rising, it appears big. Then you take a picture of it, and it's just this tiny dot. To get them to look in a photo as they appear to the naked eye, you gotta use a really long lens. That's what I do these days for pix of those things (as above). Still, it amazes me that we can't shake the illusions, and see them as they are, and how the camera sees them. Being human can be exasperating. But, it's still fun!

Another illusion is when the moon appears to stop for a red light.

Yup big long lens for these. Too big to haul around as we travel, but for here it's great.

Here’s another from this morning. Last few days all similar. This one shows the lens somewhat pulled back. Not as close as it could be.

I love the paths the currents make in the water. They can take you somewhere magical if you let them. The flowing colors of the sky are simply beautiful. Serenity is what I seek at this time.
