happy.
happier.
happiest.
I did a lot of floating in that place they call florida. this is because I love secret time spent underwater.
also, I will admit to resisting the magic but the castle, it sort of did me in. and then there was this moment. which made all the rest of it worthwhile. all the rest of it= oppressive heat and humidity, throngs of mostly (sometimes marginally) happy people.
one look at this sweet, wonky braid and I'm reminded that there really aren't enough vacation days in the world to make up for lost time. it's official: I miss my family.
(sweet wonky braid model= my niece, whom I affectionately refer to as z-girl).
makes me want to be on vacation again

ReplyDeleteLove all those photos, here and on Flickr! Looks like a great vaca!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! What a fun post.
ReplyDeleteI am from Florida and we went there often as kids. Going so often made it seem less magical at times. That one stunning photo of your children's heads brought back the magic. Enjoy that family of yours!
ReplyDeleteohhh I love time underwater too.

I love these pictures-they totally remind me of my childhood. Especially that braid, my mom use to give me those almost everyday.

ReplyDeleteHOW do you get such beautiful colours in all your photos. Absolutely wonderful! Is it just a normal polaroid camera?
ReplyDeleteI spent my whole childhood in Florida and that picture of you in the shallow calm green water brought back so many memories. When the gulf of Mexico was too choppy, we would go across the highway to the bay, which had water like that. No waves, warm, shallow, green, full of minnows, soft sandy bottom. I would lie in it, just like that, for hours.
ReplyDeleteoh visty, that floating. oh, I could have stayed there for days and days on end. I think this is the picture I will be looking at all through the cold rainy season. :)
ReplyDeletelara, thank you! I shot these with an sx-70 which is known for the beautiful way it serves up light and color. I mainly shoot with an sx-70, am totally addicted.
thank you, everyone! thanks for the kind words! more polas on the way!
I live in Florida and I do love it! And I love these photos! :)
ReplyDeleteYep. There's something about the sound of secret time spent under water.
