saints of old florida

some friends of ours down in port st.joe, florida recently released a book called saints of old florida. the book captures the spirit of this charming part of florida near the panhandle...through beautiful photographs and recipes and stories. anyone who has spent time in this area or who just loves the southern coast will enjoy this book!

edisto wild beauty

what i love so much about edisto is all the wild beauty that abounds there. where there's not a house or some kind of habitation, it looks as wild and primeval as if man had never set foot. these are the open marshes and sky on the half mile walk to botany bay, remnants of old plantations and unchanged for a hundred years or more. wild and free.

coastal bird beauty

Every time we go to the beach i love to spend time wandering the coast and taking in everything.  I am always marveled by the birds and all of the textures and patterns that they leave in the sand.

foggy beach

now that school is out everyone seems to be heading to the beach.  it reminded me of a series of photos  i took last year of a trip we took to the panhandle in florida.  we awoke to a heavy fog that lasted the entire day, it was magical!

starry sky

with the wet weather we've had, i have been reminiscing the warm nights of summer. i took these pictures on weekend trip to jekyll island last summer, and find them to be an artistic inspiration in any season.

the panhandle landscape

'tis the season to head to the beach and plant yourself next to some water.  it reminded me of our last beach trip to the panhandle of florida... to fort pickens, right off of pensacola.  the landscape there was minimal with white sand, blue water, and bare with the occasional live oak.  a lovely sight!
