A Scenic World

My parents and I traversed north-central Florida today, traveling from Cedar Key on the Gulf Coast to High Springs in the north. Unfortunately for them, I really, really wanted to take photos today. My fingers were practically itching to press the shutter release. I was quite pleased with what I got:

Even though I’ve been to both places more times than I can count, today I went into far more shops than I normally do – we even ventured through the Cedar Key Museum! I didn’t even know they HAD a museum.

This photo is dedicated to all my friends. I wish you knew my friends – they are generous, thoughtful, beautiful people.

They have encouraged me to pursue all of my various interests, from photography to piano. They have gotten up at 4am to shoot the sunrise with me. They have listened with sympathy as I recounted the Year of My Great Tragedy. They have fed me and brought me coffee when they knew I was tired. They have chosen the gifts they give me wisely. They have introduced me to haunting songs and funny stories. They have filled my life with laughter. They have done all of this and much, much more.

Thank you, Mike, Jhimli, Sergio, Barry, and Courtney for the past few days. I must remember that I would be foolish to take our time for granted because, really, it doesn’t get better than this.

Happy Christmas :)
