I could not be more proud of Jake. He's kind, compassionate, smart, thoughtful, generous, and considerate. And, at 18, he's got big dreams...and the skills and plans to make them happen. Keep moving it forward, Jake.

We caught an absolutely beautiful sunset this evening after a brief storm rolled over the beach and out to the Gulf.

A few more clouds would have made for more interesting skies after the sun sank below the horizon, but this sunset was damn near perfect.

I love this photo of Jake and Renee. Casual, unposed, and perfect light. We've walked this beach so many times, watched so many sunsets here, but, still, it never gets old.

Well, this is probably the strangest sunset photo I've ever taken. We had a traffic incident happen on the street outside our balcony tonight. It seemed like a bit of road rage when it happened, but I actually think it was an accident. Coincidentally, we got our patio cam back online this afternoon and caught the entire thing on video.

The guy on the right in the orange ball cap ran over the island in the middle and hit the white car. His tire had ran up on the island as he approached the end of the street; he overcorrected in response and then shot over the island to avoid a car in front of him, hitting the parked white car. Crazy sequence of events. Luckily no one was hurt (including a pedestrian who was walking right for the white car and, had it happened 10 seconds later, might have been directly in the path of the oncoming car).

Meanwhile, the sun did its thing, in somewhat spectacular fashion.

Great sunset on St. Pete Beach tonight, but the sky reminds me of Missile Command a bit. Looking at this photo I feel like the hotel on the right is my last base and it's about to go under!

The sky even had just enough cloud cover to provide beautiful colors after the sun had set...and the river was calm enough to give a killer reflection.

It was crazy windy tonight but I decided to take a quick trip over to the river for the sunset. It was really cloudy, but the sun managed to poke through for a bit.

I watched these two fishermen cast their lines into the Gulf of Mexico several times while catching the sunset one evening. After the sun had slipped beyond the watery horizon, I heard one say to the other "this is our last chance."

Then I took this silhouette shot.
