Nature, Structure

A typical weekend in Downtown St. Petersburg. The structure looming over the scene is the right wing of the Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club close to The Pier, both of which are historical landmarks of the city.

My first thought was, "I'd love to be up there, too." My thought now: "The world is awesome." :)

Of Dichotomy and Co-Existence

I couldn't help noticing this pair of trees on the side of the trail. I immediately thought of life and death, of yin and yang, of their perfect co-existence. Would you say there's something wrong with this picture?

B for Blue/Bird/Beach... :)

Is this the place to do schoolwork, or what? I spent the day here doing schoolwork with breaks here and there *clears throat* for picture-taking and daydreaming. Hey, can you blame me? It was a great spot, except for the crows, who eventually drove me away with their LOUD and incessant crowing from the tree branches above--not to mention several attempts at stealing my food every time I walked away! And then, of course, there were the seagulls, too. Sheesh... The good news was, I did find another great spot (hard not to do in this place); although, I was pretty distracted to do schoolwork by then. Heheh.
