Pre-Sunrise on the Beach

I was on the beach this morning to see the sunrise and to walk. I took this picture about a minute before sunrise. I like the picture because it gives me a feeling of serenity. Like many, I think there is something therapeutic about the ocean. When I took the picture, it was quiet except for the sound of the small ocean waves as they came on shore.

Surprisingly, I did not see anyone fishing until I was heading towards the steps to leave the beach. I would think these fishermen will catch fish today. Yesterday whiting and small sharks were being caught. I did not talk to anyone who had caught a keeper pompano.

If the day produces some more wave action, I think that today might be a good day for catching those delicious tasting pompanos.

Boats Off Indialantic Beach

I apologize to any regular readers of this blog for posting so little recently. Due to a family emergency, I have been unable to get to the beach much during the last week or more. This afternoon, however, I did get to stroll the beach for about half an hour. It was almost 4 PM and there were a lot of people on the beach. Some were just sun bathing or fishing or walking the beach or sitting in beach chairs reading or watching their children play in the sand. In other words, people were enjoying the beautiful beach day and that is what the beach is for.

Believe it or not, this is an unusual picture that I’ve posted. Off Indialantic’s beach you seldom see boats like the ones pictured here. You seldom see one boat let alone two. I’ve been told that this is because it is so far in each direction where such boats can be launched.

Dunes In Making

It has not been a pretty day on Indialantic's beach. The wind is strong from the east. I would estimate the wind at about 15 to 20 MPH. Needless to say, the ocean is on the rough side and not many people are walking the beach. I saw no one even attempting to fish.

I snapped this picture near the dunes. When the wind was more northerly, the sand was being blown down the beach. You can see a little from this picutre how the vegetation near the dunes captured some of this blowing sand and started building llittle dunes.

Sunday on the Beach

This morning I walked down to take a look at the ocean. I’m still waiting for surf fishing conditions to improve. From the looks of it, I’ll have to wait some more. The water is on the dirty side and the wave action isn’t good for catching pompano, but it should be decent for whiting and sharks.

Otherwise, it is a pretty nice day to be on the beach. I took this picture on Indialantic beach looking south. There is something for everyone. Of course there are people walking the beach. There are a number of people fishing. Conditions have been favorable for surfing in recent days and there are surfers. And, there are the birds. My picture doesn’t show him, but there was a man with a metal detector looking for buried valuables.

A front will pass through the area on Sunday afternoon. Perhaps it will bring better surf fishing conditions.

Problems of a Surf Fisherman

I had looked forward to fishing today. After more than a week, I was anxious to get my lines in the water. I was disappointed; however, when I walked down to check the conditions. The water is not clean; there is a strong south to north current; the waves are fairly high, and there is some annoying sea weed in the water.

It is not easy being a surf fisherman. Someone wrote that for anyone fishing in the surf, everything favors the fish! I believe it. Seldom is there a day when the conditions are ideal. They are far from ideal today. I talked to one fisherman who was throwing 6 ounces of lead. He said that he was only throwing out 100 feet because he could not hold bottom any further out because of the strong current.

Well, there is always tomorrow!

I Want to go Fishing!

I so much wanted to go fishing today. It has been over a week since the last time I fished in the surf. The conditions today, however, are not the greatest. The water is not clear and there is a moderate chop on the water. I suppose I might hold bottom with 6 ounces, but I’m going to wait for a better day. Another negative is that I noticed a little bit of sea weed along the shore.

I snapped this picture of a shark that someone had just caught. Not being an expert on sharks, I did not know what kind it was. It is not a bonnethead or a hammerhead shark. I didn't get a picture of the mouth, but the mouth had the classic shark look that we associate with Jaws.

There have been a lot of sharks being caught along the beach in Indialantic the last month. One man told me that he fished one day last week and caught 8 bonnetheads. Although sharks can be caught in any type of water, more are caught when the surf is on the dirty side like it has been the last couple of days

If anyone reading this blog can identify the shark in the picture, please comment and share the answer. To comment, you have to register or be registered with Google who hosts this blog.

Rough Surf & Surfers

After church I walked down to take a look at the ocean. It was not a pretty sight. There is a strong wind out of the east southeast that has made the ocean rough. Unless you are a fisherman who knows how to fish rough waters, there would be no fishing today even though the water is clean. Also, there continues to be some minor beach erosion.

I snapped this picture that shows the rough surf and two brave surfers. There's no way that I would venture out with a surf board given today's conditions. I hope the ocean calms down soon. I'm anxious to wet my lines again.

Some Beach Erosion

The last few days have not been kind to the beach in Indialantic. As you can see from the picture that I took about 7:30 this morning, the beach has suffered some beach erosion. Strong southeasterly winds pounded the shore line. Wednesday and Thursday The erosion is only minor, but it shows how easily the sand can be washed out into the ocean.

This isn't going to make surf fishermen happy, but I hear that there will once again be a renourment project in Indialantic. It will be the thrid renourishment project since Hurricanes Francis and Jean in 2004.

Windy But Nice on the Beach

If I were to include a picture of the ocean this morning, it would be similar to the one I posted yesterday, but only the water has somewhat of a light brownish tint. There is about a 12 MPH wind out of the south southeast.

I didn't see anyone fishing, but there were a number of people walking the beach. With the warm temperatures, today would be a nice day to feel the warm sand between your toes as you hiked up or down the beach.

One thing I've been on the lookout for are right whales. I read where this is the time of year that they migrate past our central Florida coast. On a couple of occasions in past years I have seen them. I'm hoping that this will be one of those years.

Rough Surf this Morning

I was thinking of going fishing this morning until I walked down and looked at the surf. As you can see from the picture I took this morning, the ocean is on the rough. side There is a strong southeast wind that has the ocean rolling. The water is still fairly clean, but usually southeast winds eventually cause dirty water conditions. Perhaps things will look better at high tide this afternoon.

One beach veteran was telling me that there is not a nice fishing trough this year along the beach in Indialantic. He blames it on the beach renourishing that was done earlier in the year in Satellite Beach. He said that some of the sand sand has washed down the beach and has filled the trough making the ocean shallower in this area.

Cool but Beautiful

Today is a great day to be on the beach regardless if you are walking, fishing, sun bathing or treasure hunting. It is slightly on the cool side, but the sun is warm and the temperature is rising. The wind is light out of the east south east. The water looks clean and inviting. I was surprised not to see fishermen in the usual spots, but maybe it was because the tide was on the low side.

Manatee in the Surf!

Usually I include a picture with each post, but I missed the picture that I wanted. Yesterday afternoon I was on the beach when I saw a manatee just off shore. I had my camera with me, but by the time I readied it to take a picture, the manatee disappeared in the water and I never saw it surface again.

A couple of years ago I was fishing alone along the Beach in Indialantic when I saw something huge in the surf. It scared me because I didn’t know what it was. At first I thought it was a big shark, but then it surfaced again and I recognized it as a manatee. It is rare to see a manatee in the surf here. I feel badly that I missed getting the picture to share with you.

Fishing Conditions: When I walked to the beach this morning, I did not see any fisherman. Although the ocean is fishable, there is a brisk northerly wind to contend with and probably a strong current. There is wave action and you can see some whitecaps in the distance. The water clarity is slightly on the murky side. There is still no seaweed in the water.

Decent Pompano Catch

-- Click picture to enlarge--
I took this picture of someone who had laid their pompano in the grass after washing the sand off of them. The fisherman caught them using frozen sand fleas earlier this week in the surf in Indialantic. They ranged in size from 11 to 13 inches.

This morning I didn't see anyone fishing, but conditions look favorable. The water is clean and there is some wave action. There is still no evidence of sea weed. The morning wind was light and the waves were coming straight in from the east.

It is really a beautiful morning on the beach. Walking the beach on such a morning should be a delightful experience.

Fishing Conditions

Fishing Conditions: I’m writing this on Wednesday morning. I’ve just came back from the ocean where I noted that the water has good clarity today. There is enough wave action to stir up the sand fleas for the pompano to devour. The wind is about 5 MPH out of the NW. One man had just started fishing and had caught a whiting and a blue within the first 15 minutes. He said that there is a strong current with which to contend, so you will need a heavy sinker. It is cool, but conditions seem to favor a good fishing day.

Sand Flea Colonies

I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago of sand flea pods or colonies. Sand fleas are crustaceans and they live together by the hundreds and probably thousands in tightly knit pods or colonies that are clearly visible to beach walkers. Although the pods are clearly visible, some beach walkers probably never realize what is beneath those wrinkles in the sand.

Sand fleas are prized bait for pompano fishermen and a source of food for various birds like ibis pictured here looking to pick a sand flea out of the sand. Unfortunately, colder weather has forced sand fleas deeper and/or further out in the water. As someone said, they are scarce as hen’s teeth right now. When January and February come, they will be even more difficult to find.

Fishing Conditions: The water clarity is not good this morning. Fortunately, there is not any sea weed visible which is a big help. There is a light wind from the northwest. There also is some wave action. The ocean is definitely fishable, but the lack of water clarity may make it not good for catching pompano.

Another Fishing Cart

I've included a couple pictures of another fishing cart that I've recently seen on the beach. Compared with the cart I pictured in an earlier post (see post for Oct. 31 ), this one is quite simple. It, however, meets the needs of the owner and helps make his fishing more enjoyable.

Did you notice the short rod with the big reel? The fisherman who owns this cart often fishes for sharks in the surf. On Thanksgiving afternoon he hooked and landed a 6 and a half foot spinner shark. Unfortunately, I wasn’t on the beach at the time to get a picture.

Fishing Conditions: This morning the ocean is fishable. There are long rolling waves and the water looks clean with no seaweed. The water clarity is medium. There is a light wind from the west. There were a number of people fishing and I saw some catches of whiting, sheepshead, black drum and a few pompano.

Calm Beach Day

I was surprised at how calm the ocean was this morning. You can see this from this picture I snapped this morning. It will be a great day for walking the beach in Indialantic. Why not plan to walk the beach either before or after dinner?

There were a number of anglers out trying the luck. They were catching a few blue fish, whiting and some undersized pompano. Overall, it was kind of a slow fishing morning. The water, however, is fairly clear and there is a very light northerly wind. Wave action to stir up the sand fleas is missing, so I doubt if it will be a good pompano fishing day.

Anyways, have a great Thanksgiving day and weekend!

Hungry Sandpiper!

---Click picture to enlarge it ---
It is a very nice day on the beach today. There is a light wind from the west and the water is clean. Unlike much of November, there is no evidence of seaweed. I saw a couple of people fishing. The one with whom I talked had caught one whiting and a nice blue fish. Overall, he said that fishing was slow. Although the ocean is very fishable today, I doubt if it will prompt much in the way of pompano activity because of the westerly wind.

I saw this sandpiper scouring the beach for his dinner. Often I see birds digging in sand flea pods for their meal. There was, however, no evidence of sand fleas today. Perhaps the warmer weather will prompt them to come out.

Beachside Flowers

---Click on pictures to enlarge them ---

This morning I walked along part of Indialantic's boardwalk. There are a number of interesting plants, flowers and trees that one can see on such a walk. I snapped these pictures of a pretty flower. I need to read IDENTIFYING FLOWERS FOR DUMMIES because I don't know the name of this flower.

Fishing Conditions: There is still a rather brisk northeast wind. It is producing waves and a rather strong current. You might hold bottom with 5 or 6 ounces. I saw one guy fishing. He said that the wind is supposed to subside. When it does, fishing should be good since the water looks very clean. I did not see any sand fleas along the beach.

A Good Day Fishing!

- Click Picture to Enlarge -

The fishing conditions on Indialantic's beach this mid morning and early afternoon were good. The water was clean and there was enough wind and waves to stir up the sand fleas on the first sand bar. Thankfully, the seaweed that had been plaguing fishermen was gone. I was surprised to see a lot of surfers, but only one other fisherman.

I snapped this picture of that fisherman's cooler after he had landed his 4th nice pompano. Before he was done, he caught 2 other nice sized pompano to make his limit. He also had whiting plus a rather nice black drum. He caught all his fish on sand fleas.

By early afternoon the wind had switched to the northeast and the temperature dropped some. The ocean became rougher, but it was still possible to hold bottom. The fisherman that I observed was throwing 6 ounces.

I think the weatherman is calling for windy conditions for the weekend. That might blow out the surf, but if not, the pompano are out there!

Beach Access

One of the nice things about the beach in Indialantic is that there is easy access to the beach for the general public. This wasn't the case from what I remember about the beach in the Fort Lauderdale area. Outside of the public beaches, it was difficult to find access there.

This morning I took pictures of one of the accesses in Indialantic. It is at the end of Watson Dr. where Watson Dr. intersects A1A. This is about a quarter mile north of the red light at A1A and 192. Sunrise Park is here as well as steps leading down to the beach. There is parking, but you will have to feed the meter!

Fishing Conditions: There is more wind and current than there was yesterday and the water is choppier. Yesterday the water clarity was great, but today is is of medium quality due to the wind and waves. Although it is not impossible to fish today, you would need a very heavy sinker to hold bottom. Yesterday, one fisherman was throwing 5 ounces and his sinker was skipping due to the current. I did not see anyone fishing when I was out on the beach in mid morning.

Sunrise on the Beach!

Since I don't live directly on the ocean, I can't just look out my patio door at the sunrise. I have to walk down to the ocean to have a look. It seems that every time I go down to see the sun rise, it is more or less a "dud"! Oh, the beach is still beautiful, but the sunrise is never spectacular.

A friend who reads this blog sent me this picture of a sunrise taken from the balcony on her condo along Indialantic's beach. The sunrises that I see are never as pretty as this one. One of these days, however, I'll be down on the beach with my camera when the sunrise will overwhelm me with its beauty.

FISHING CONDITIONS: The water has cleared today compared to Saturday, but it is still not crystal clear. The seaweed in the water is still a problem. There is a brisk wind from the northwest. It is causing a strong current that mixed with the seaweed is making holding bottom difficult. Yesterday (Sunday) I saw men fishing, but they were not having much luck.One fisherman today caught a whiting and nice sized black drum, but gave up fishing because of the seaweed.

Fog on Indialantic's Beach

It has been a long time since it has been so foggy on the beach at Indialantic. The picture was taken at approximately 7:40 pm Saturday morning.

As the morning progresses, the fog will burn off. The water, however, will continue to be dirty. The water should continue to show a slight brownish tint. Also, there is still seaweed, but not to the extent of a couple of days ago. The wind this morning was light out of the south south west.

The water should clear in the next couple of days as a front comes through and the winds take a north north easterly direction. When conditions do improve, pompano fishing should be very good.

Worse Yet!

If a picture is worth a thousand words, these pictures say it all about the present conditions on Indialantic's beach!

Fresh Crop of Seaweed!

Strong on shore winds are bringing more of something the beach doesn't need----sea weed! A fresh crop is now strewn across the beach of Indialantic. People are remarking that they've never seen the amount of seaweed that we've had this fall.

The wind is brisk. The weather man says that there is a high pressure system to the north and a low pressure system to the south. Between them is a pressure gradient that results in strong on shore winds.

Needless to say, fishing is out of the question. Surfers may like the big waves the pressure gradient is producing. Those who walk the beach will have to dodge the clumps of sea weed.

Blue Fish

This proud fisherman holds up a blue fish that he just hauled in early Monday afternoon. He caught the blue on cut whiting. It was one of several blues he had taken on the day. Earlier in the day he caught some small pompano, but no pomps big enough to keep. He said that he saw a 5 to 6 foot black tip shark jump out in front of him. He suspected the shark and blues have scared off the pompano and whiting.

Fishing conditions are not ideal. A fresh batch of sea weed is moving in with the incoming tide that is making fishing far from enjoyable. There is a strong north to northeast wind, but you could hold bottom with a heavy sinker. The water is very clean except for the sea weed.

Sea Pods Again

The picture today is of the sea pod from 2 days ago. I was surprised to see it germinate. Sort of reminds me of a green bean sead that is kept moist and germinates.

There were quite a few fishermen on the shores of Indialantic on Saturday. The several with whom I spoke were not catching much of anything. One told me, however, that a guy beside him caught 2 keeper pompano with one cast. I've never seen that before.

Seaweed continues to be somewhat of a problem. It seems bad on one part of the beach, but much better on other parts of the beach. Otherwise, the water was clean today. I wonderubg if Hurricane Paloma might cause some rough surf later.

Fishing Report

It looks like I was right yesterday when I wrote that conditions were improving and Friday might be a good fishing day. Well, from what I saw this morning, fishing is really good today.

I talked with a man fishing about half a mile south of the Indialantic boardwalk area. It was only after 7 AM and he had already caught 3 nice sized pompano and a black drum. When I walked past him on my way back up the beach, he was reeling in another keeper pompano. This fisherman had 3 lines out. He was using fresh clams for bait.

The water clarity is on the good side, but not perfectly clean. There was just a tad of seaweed in the water, but not enough to to cause problems. The wave action was good (not too many waves or too few). The wind was fairly light and was coming from the northeast. When I was on the beach, the tide was near low. When the tide is at high, the seaweed might become a problem since there still is a lot of dead seaweed on the upper part of the beach.

1:20 pm: The seaweed has become a problem. I talked to another fisherman who had caught 3 pompano in the late morning, but by early afternoon he quit because the seaweed had become such a problem.

Sea Pods

Conditions are improving along Indialantic's beach. The ocean is still on the choppy side, but the water is cleaner. There is some seaweed in the water, but it is not fresh. The high tide is washing the older sea weed back into the water.

I did not see anyone fishing along the beach, but there were some surfers. If conditions continue to improve, tomorrow the surf may be fishable.

Since I don't know the technical term, I'll call them sea pods. For almost a week there have been sea pods strewn among the sea weed on the beach. I can only guess where the pods have come from. The first picture shows the sea pods among the sea weed . The second picture is a close up of one of the pods.

Yucky Beach Day!

It is a yucky beach day today. Not only is the beach is strewn with sargassum (seaweed), but it is overcast, cool and windy. The ocean is not nice either. It is dirty and quite choppy. It is not a good day for either fishing in the surf or even walking the beach.

I encountered the fellow above in my walk. He didn’t seem to mind my taking his picture, although he kept his eye on me. You may know what kind crab this is, but my knowledge of crabs in limited.

Surf but not Fish!

Today is not the greatest of beach days. Not only has it rained much of the day, but the ocean is on the rough side. In walking the beach in the early afternoon, I saw no one fishing, but there were a few surfing. Even the waves for surfing are only fair. Can you spot the surfer in the picture above?

The conditions would make it tough to hold bottom if fishing in the surf. Plus, you would have to contend with a fresh crop of seaweed brought in over the night. Except for the seaweed, the water clarity was not too bad. Standing in the sand, you could almost feel that pompano were lurking not far off the beach.

Beach Cart

Today is not a good surf fishing day in Indialantic. The good conditions of the last couple of day are gone thanks to a strong northeast wind. I talked with a fisherman this morning on his way back from the beach who made the beach fishing cart pictured above. He told me that he was throwing 8 ounces of lead and he still could not effectively hold bottom. Needless to say, he caught nothing for the table.

He did, however, say that the cart works great. The over sized plastic wheels and the long handle bars make it easy to move the cart up or down the sandy beach. There are tubes to hold 4 surf rods in addition to a holder for a sand flea rake. Also, notice the ability to carry 4 big sand spikes plus space for a cooler in which to hold your day’s catch. The basket provides space for any extra clothing or gear that you might want to take. Finally, the weight is minimal because of the types of plastic used in the construction.

I have seen other beach fishing carts, but this one designed and built by the owner is the best one I have seen. It is definitely for the dedicated surf fisherman!

What a Catch!

Today was another absolutely beautiful day on Indialantic's beach. The water was clean, the beach wide and clean, the sun was shining, and the wind was light. It was not swimming weather, but it was great for beach walking and fishing.

There were quite a few fishermen trying their luck. Some were not catching anything, but one man I passed was having a spectacular time. He had in his bucket a 19 inch black drum, a sheepshead and a nice pompano in addition to what he caught next.

When I was approaching him, he was fighting an obviously big fish. In the course of the struggle, the surf rod snapped! That didn't deter him, however, and he finally landed the whopper of a black drum pictured above. Laying on the beach you can see the broken surf rod. I don't know the length and weight of the fish, but it was a catch I'm sure that he will always remember.

Fishable, but . . . !

It was a simply gorgeous afternoon on Indialantic's beach. After so many cruddy days in October, today was a beautiful exception. The wind was calm and the ocean clean as the picture hopefully shows. Unlike many days this month, you did not need to trudge through a lot of seaweed to walk. Those who ventured to the beach today certainly had something to enjoy.

There were several men fishing. Although the water was clean, there was a bit too much seaweed in the water to make conditions good. One man I talked to had hooked a lady fish and whiting on the same line, but the line became fouled in seaweed as he attempted to reel in the fish. He ended up quitting because it just wasn't worth it with seaweed in the water. Perhaps tomorrow will bring better conditions.

It's Calm Today

After a couple of wild and windy days, the ocean has calmed today. Gone are the raging waves and frothy surf. In their place are big rolling waves with fairly long intervals between them. The surfers like such waves and quite a few surfers today are riding the waves.

The picture above was taken yesterday afternoon during the strong winds. At the time, the wind was blowing sand and the sand was covering the seaweed. It reminded me of how snow up north starts to cover the leaves. Previous pictures I've included have shown the seaweed lining the beach. Now when your are on the beach, much of the seaweed is buried beneath sand.

Not Much Has Changed

Windy conditions continue on the beach. Although the water is fairly clean, there are traces of fresh seaweed.

In the early evening, few people were walking the beach and I didn't see any surfers or fishermen. I did see a couple of ladies picking through the seaweed looking for sea beans. I'll have to find a few sea beans and post a picture of them so you can see what sea beans look like if you don't already know.

Almost Deserted!

I snapped this picture about 6 PM this evening in front of the Indialantic boardwalk area. As you can see, the public beach area is virtually deserted. If you don’t like crowds, the late afternoon is a good time to come to the beach.

In walking approximately 2 miles this afternoon, I did not encounter any fishermen. Fishermen know that a strong northeasterly winds make for a wicked current. The water, however, looked clean. A northeast wind seems to clean up the water whereas a southeast wind usually makes the water dirty. I don’t know the reason for this. Perhaps someone reading this can shed some light on the subject.

Despite the wind, it was an enjoyable walk. If you haven't walked lately, you should come and enjoy the beach.

What a Difference a Day Makes!

Today is not a good beach day. The cold front brought pleasant temperatures and low humidity, but it also make the ocean rough and dirty. I snapped this picture at high tide this afternoon while looking north. Notice the high waves and the whitecaps out further. To use a fishing term, the surf is “blown out” today.

By contrast, yesterday evening the beach was beautiful at low tide. There was practically no wind and the water was clean. I do not remember a nicer evening at the beach all of October.

Beach Litter!

There is lots of litter on the beach these days. The accompanying picture is an example of what I am seeing. Probably the rough seas during recent weeks brought the trash to shore. Last night I even saw a tube of toothpaste manufactured in Havana, Cuba!

Conditions for fishing are much improved over Thursday. The ocean is cleaner and calmer. I saw several people fishing. One man with whom I talked had caught several whiting using fresh clams.

Tough Conditions Today

Conditions for fishing in the surf are very unfavorable today. The water is dirty and there is a lot of sargassum (seaweed) in the water and on the beach. Plus, the briskwinds have made the ocean rough.

Today I have been to the beach early in the morning and in the mid afternoon. On neither occasion did I see anyone surf fishing. If you have ever tried to fish in rough water and when seaweed abounded, you know it is difficult to say the least.

I have seen very few people fishing in the surf this whole month. I did hear, however, that someone caught 5 pompano a few days ago south of the boardwalk area.

The accompanying picture shows the seaweed that has washed ashore. It is also abounding in the water. I can only guess when conditions will improve.

My Indialantic Beach . . . first step

A friend suggested to me that I should start a blog about the Indialantic beach. That suggestion took root and it has now borne fruit. This is my first post in my blog about what I see happening along the Indialantic Beach.

Nearly every day my wife and I walk the beach in the Indialantic area. It is an enjoyable, healthy and interesting exercise. Sometimes we meet new people or talk to old friends. No two walks are ever the same. Perhaps there are those who would appreciate knowing what is happening, at least from someone’s perspective.

As I have mentioned, my objective is to put in writing and pictures what I see happening on the beach. It will attempt to answer the question, “What’s up on the Indialantic beach?” My goal in this blog is to post at least 3 times a week. Of course, as the weeks pass, I may find myself posting new reports more or less frequently.

Since I love to fish in the surf, many of my posts will contain remarks and observations about fishing. I will answer questions like the following: What are the conditions like? Is the water clean? What kinds of fish are being caught? What bait or lure is bringing the most hits? What methods are most productive? Are sand fleas present?

I see a lot of things on the beach that puzzle me. If I include pictures of such items, perhaps a reader can shed light on the matter. For this reason, I plan to carry a camera when I am walking.

It is my desire that there will be readers who will find this blog helpful and informational. I hope for me that it will be fun.
