A part of the past...

Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.

Hi my friends,

This is now another picture out of my archives - it was raining to much over here to get out with the camera.

And we had also a leak on the top of our RV it had to be fixed quick, before the next storm and heavy rain will set in!

I want to say: THANK YOU for all those nice comments and compliments to my yesterdays post, you make me happy every day - Love you all!

Have a wonderful weekend coming up and see you tomorrow here on this spot again :)

Tropical Beach Scenes

I'm back to my "good old" Palm pictures again.... The pictures are new, but the subject is "old". And I have to tell you again: I love palm trees!

Single palm at Smather's Beach on a cloudy day

That looks like rain out there on the horizon!

Smather's beach is normally empty on a day like this....

...except a sleeping beach bum who is dreaming there on the bench, probably about some better days he had in the past.

After the rain - and Anniversary is on the way!

This was the sky from yesterday evening after the rain. Isn't it beautiful?

Tomorrow will be my first ANNIVERSARY with this blog,
it is already one year old!!
O.M.G. and I thought I will not survive the first two 
months....!!! :-) I was really close to giving up this
whole blogging, because I had no visitors, or almost
no one... and then after a while I got recognized more
and more by other bloggers and they even were thinking
my blog is good, nice, interesting, funny..
(read all the comments... :)

And today, this is a big satisfaction for me and a big
challenge too, to do my blogging for another coming year
to bring every day a little piece of my little paradise
closer to you - with my photography!

Come over tomorrow to my blog, make a comment
and CELEBRATE with me!

Never ever give up your dreams  - in your real life too!!

After Rain

I'm back to my palm pictures again... :-)

Yesterday late afternoon we had a tremendous rainfall for maybe a half hour or more. After that, the sun came back and I have captured these palm fronds with my camera, while they were still covered with rain drops.

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head....

It's a rainy day today in paradise....

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'


So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'


But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me


Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me


It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me


Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

Official Start of Hurrican Season was 1. of June

That was yesterday! We had a dark, windy and rainy start of Hurrican Season 2007. Later in the day the weather man was announcing this all as tropical storm "Barry". Today the sun is back again in paradise - and every one is happy - of course.

And this is a old picture I made a half hour befor Hurrican Dennies came over Key West, in 2005. You can see how some people really enjoyed the waves at Whitehead Pier - it's like getting a free shower.

At the end of the afternoon storm the sun came back out and painted the sky in a brilliant, burning red before she melted into the ocean.

Nach einem starken Nachmittagssturm kam die Sonne wieder zurueck aus ihrem Versteck und verfaerbte den ganzen Himmel ueber uns tiefrot, bevor sie dann im Meer versank.

There were very dark clouds looming in the sky on this particular afternoon because of an upcoming storm in the Everglades. Behind the wall of clouds formed a round white one that really looked like a UFO, doesn't it?.....maybe it was.....!

Es waren bereits schwarze Wolken am Horizont, als wir an jenem Nachmittag durch die Everglades fuhren, wo sich ein grosser Sturm zusammenbraute. Dann ploetzlich kam hinter dieser Wolkenwand jene kleine weisse Wolke auf, in den schillerndsten Regenbogenfarben. Das sieht doch aus, wie wenn ein UFO nahen wuerde, nicht wahr? ....wer weiss, vielleicht war es auch eines...!

No, no.... don't worry! There is no storm or Hurrican coming just now over Key West - so far we were really very lucky untill today. This is a older picture of the arriving waves of Hurrican Dennis (in 2005) and it show you how storm surges can be a big fun for some people out there at Whitehead Pier.

Keine Bange, das ist kein aktuelles Hurrican Foto! Wir sind bis heute verschont geblieben von den vielen vorausgesagten Stuermen, gottseidank! Das Bild entstand eine halbe Stunde bevor Hurrican Dennis ueber die Insel fegte, im letzten Jahr. Viele Schaulustige genossen sichtlich die herniederprasselnden hohen Wellen und benutzten die Gelegenheit fuer eine Gratis-Dusche.

This picture was made on the West Coast of Florida. After a big rain the sun came back with it's golden glow and this wonderful rainbow colored the whole area in a soft multicolored light.

Ich schenk dir einen Regenbogen... Nach einem starken Regen kam die Sonne zurueck, zog diesen herrlichen Regenbogen ueber die Landschaft und tuenchte damit die ganze Gegend in ein warmes goldenes Licht.
