I loved waking up in the mornings on the beach. I just felt so refreshed and ready to start the day. It was really surprising to see how many other people were awake. There were a lot of cars on the road and even more people jogging on the sidewalk.

More Ft. Lauderdale pics coming! Have a great weekend 🙂

Of course, you can’t forget the cypress trees in First Landing State Park. I’ve never seen anything like them before and take my breath away when I see them. When the right lighting hits them, they are AMAZING!

Although Hurricane Isaac won’t really affect us here in DC, I was wondering what the sky was going to look like in the morning because I know we’ll at least be getting rain. I decided to go to the Lincoln Memorial because I wanted to check out the reflecting pool. Looks like its all done except for the fencing that goes around it. Can’t wait til its completely open 🙂

I was focusing on photographing the flower and all of the sudden the bee flew right in front of me. He knew I was taking pics and wanted in on the fun!

It’s pretty rare to see the WWII without any people in it. Here’s the secret: get your butt out of bed really early in the morning.

As I was driving in, I thought it was going to be a really nice sunrise because of how cloudy it was. And it was in a few areas of the sky. Hoping for more days like this one so I can get different perspectives 🙂
