Ormond Beach Memorial Gardens

The Ormond Memorial Gardens are located at the SE corner of Granada Blvd and Halifax Drive on the peninsula.  They are an excellent place to take a little walk and check out some Florida foliage.  My daughter enjoyed tracking down the turtles in the various little ponds and water features on the property.  Here are a few pictures from the gardens:

Art of the Automobile

The Art of the Automobile is located on Beach Street in downtown Daytona Beach.  Its a great way to see all types of cars from new to old, exotic, muscle, race cars and old vintage.  It was beautiful 80 degree weather this year.  Here are a few pictures from the event:

Beautiful Sunrise in Daytona Beach

I got up early and went down to the board walk in Daytona Beach to shoot the sunrise this past weekend and really lucked out.  I was able to shoot for about an hour from all different spots around the board walk and Ocean Walk shops.  It was really more like controlled chaos -- at least I hope that's how it looked. The good thing about getting up early is that there was hardly anyone around so I didn't have to worry about people walking into my pictures. Here are 3 of the pictures I have processed so far:

Under the bridge

I have had a vision of this shot in my head for a while now but wasn't sure if it would ever pan out.  Now that the seasons are changing and the sun is setting in a different place in the sky I finally got the opportunity to capture it from under the bridge.  The trick is getting the foreground, the water and the sunset in focus and exposed right.  I think this one turned out pretty well.

Art in the Park

One of my favorite events in Ormond Beach every year is the Art in the Park.  It almost didn't happen this year with all the rain we have had recently.  The event runs Saturday/Sunday and it rained all day on Saturday but the sun came out and it was beautiful on Sunday.  They set up all the artists in front of Rockefellers house in the Casements and they set up food on the side lawn.  Here are a few pictures from the event:

Sunsets

It was just one of those nights where it was tough to take a bad picture of the sunset.  Here are a few of my favorite from last week in April.  These were all taken at the park on the East end of the Granada Blvd bridge.
