I don’t remember where I took this photo. I think…it was from our South Africa trip years ago, but I’m not sure. Regardless, I like the photo.
Aruba's Palm Beach
Love my drone…. video from my last visit to Aruba’s Palm Beach.
Up Palm
Here is a photo from a recent trip to Playa del Carmen….
Cape Town Botanical Garden
I don’t know why I didn’t post this photo already. I took this in 2018 during our trip to South Africa and I really like it.
Pittsburgh Spring
With 2020 lost to COVID, I didn’t get out and take as many photos as I normally would, and that has carried over into 2021. I’m just not motivated or energized like I was in the past….. Maybe work has taken a toll on me?? Regardless, I need to get out of this funk. So, I haven’t taken any spring photos this year. Therefore, here is one from 2019 down near the Clemente Bridge in downtown Pittsburgh.
Favorite Grand Cayman Pool Spot
MJ and I have used these two loungers more times than I want to admit….. They sit at a wonderful spot on the Kimpton Seafire Resort property.
Happy Holidays
My Christmas wish is for all of you to have a safe and happy holiday season, along with a wonderful 2021.
Tree In Motion
Another photo from PPG Place in downtown Pittsburgh…..
Looking Back
I learned long ago that regardless of what I’m aiming my camera at, I always need to look behind me. Sometimes the best shot is the opposite direction in spite of my pro-shoot plans. This perspective is looking back towards the rear of the First Presbyterian Church. I posted a photo of the front of this church back on November 29th.
Seafire Christmas
I took this photo last December while staying at the Seafire Resort in Grand Cayman. You can’t see it, but just to the right (off the photo), they had a life size gingerbread house setup that you could walk into to get holiday favored and themed cocktail.
Pittsburgh's Point State Park Holiday Tree
I took this photo last year from the North Shore looking back at downtown. They put this fake holiday tree up at the Point State Park every year.
1st Presbyterian Christmas Tree
This beautiful old church is in downtown Pittsburgh…. They do a great job of decorating for the holidays.

PPG Place Tree
Now that Thanksgiving holiday is complete, I feel safe sharing Christmas holiday photos. Here is one I took on a past excursion to PPG Place in downtown Pittsburgh. I took this late in the day on a weekday so that I could avoid having a bunch of ice skaters getting in my photo.
By the way, the ice rink is elevated above the sidewalk. So, I had to stand on top of a patio table to capture this perspective, which resulted in me getting yelled at by the PPG Security Officer. No wonder why I didn’t get a Christmas gift that year….I was naughty.

Cayman Pool
This photo and almost everyone I’ve posted in the last few months are from a better time…. We’ll get back to better times at some point. Until then, I’ll keep posting images that remind us of happier days and amazing places.

Gibson's Tree
During our trip to Burt Lake in northern Michigan, I took this photo of Gibson’s tree sitting right next to the lake…. There isn’t much more to say about it.

Post Cayman Sunset
This is the beautiful sky about 20 minutes after sunset in Grand Cayman. The amazing pool and resort are pretty good as well. Good times……right now I’d love to be back at this spot. But like everyone else I’m doing my part to limit the spread of COVID-19….so no travel for a while….

Baby American Robins
MJ, Blair and I were out in the yard this morning messing around. We found this American Robin nest in a small tree next to our house. Inside were three tiny little baby American Robin birds. I’m not a bird expert, so I’m guessing these little ones are only a few days old. Someone out there can probably help determine their real age. They were waiting for their mom to bring dinner. Every time I made some noise, they would lift their heads like this expecting it to be mom.

PPG Tree Again
Okay. Next year I either need to get out and take a ton of holiday photos from numerous spots or just post fewer holiday photos….. But this year I didn’t get out much, so you got stuck with numerous photos from PPG Plaza….
Merry Christmas.

Down View
Keeping with the Christmas theme, here is a unique perspective of the PPG Christmas Tree and Ice Rink. I’m sure this view has been captured before, but probably not by many. Happy holidays to you and your family.

Presby Again
Keeping with the season, here is another holiday photo from within First Presbyterian Church in downtown Pittsburgh. It’s a great facility and they do a nice job decorating it for the Christmas season. I took this one from the balcony.
