Paragliding, Dolphin, Friends

   September 13, 2013-Well our little friend in the sky, the paraglider, was flying high in the sky this blustery afternoon.

    However, his flight took a turn for the worse when he crashed on the beach right in front of us.

[Video coming soon]

We also saw some dolphins just off the shore.  Most of the times you can only see the top of their fin, but occasionally they’ll jump completely out of the water.

I was able to get a quick picture of this pretty retro form of advertisement.  The prop plane flew around in the skies above Pier Park with a banner ad. 

(Wow, rotating banner ads certainly have changed)

Crabs, Paragliding, Sun Rays, Bourne

  September 9, 2013-This morning started out with some crabs.  No, I don't mean the kind that are the result of a bad night's sleep.

   This picture makes me picture the crab as a baseball catcher intentionally walking a left handed batter.  Might have been watching a little too much baseball.  (Cardinals have now secured a berth in postseason.)

   This afternoon we heard a sound of an engineering and looked up to find this little guy buzing around.

   He is paragliding.  He has a large gas-powered pan strapped to his back and is able to "take off" from the ground.  He exhibited the good amount of control he had over the chute by his very close passes near high rises, and dips that brought him within twenty feet of the water.

   I have more footage of this guy that I can't wait to share, so watch for a video in the following posts.

   So far, everyone who commented on a previous post would go parasailing, but how about paragliding?  You may want to wait for the video to answer that question.

All three could be good photos in and of themselves

Tropical flare

  The ocean is so still it almost looks like a large lake

Instead of another sunset, why not mix it up with a shot of the moon?

Benjamin and Noah have gone swimming at night with the GoPro and waterproof flashlights. These videos of the ocean at night from underwater remind me of this song: (Plays with Spotify)
