Gulf Islands National Seashore


, originally uploaded by Carina Potts.

I love the eerie feeling I get from this one.. Taken at Gulf Islands National Seashore, I think for locals it reminds us of how hurricanes have affected the area. What were once thriving trees have been choked by salt water.

Ahh good ol' downtown Pensacola. Quiet and relaxing mostly, except on the weekends.

Florida Swans?


, originally uploaded by Carina Potts.

We went out on the boat the other day and as we pulled up to the a restaurant at Pensacola Beach, we saw a flock of swans.. not something you normally see in this area! The rumor is they came from the zoo that just got closed down.

Pensacola Beach

Sometimes when I go out on one of my picture taking adventures, I'm reminded of why I love living near the beach, you just can't beat these sunsets! My therapy: Camera, beach, sunset.

Fort Pickens, FL


Fort Pickens, FL, originally uploaded by Carina Potts.

I had a great week. My cousin came to visit me all the way from England. It's amazing the things we have in common considering we have lived in different countries our whole lives. My parents took us on their boat and went over to Fort Pickens, you can read the history of this fort here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Pickens

I loved the old architecture and just the amount of work that had to go into these types of places. There's definitely a lot of areas of the buildings that are just plain spooky. You won't catch me going here at night!!
