Settling down for the night...

Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 7 October 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

... over the Gulf of Mexico, at 7:03 pm.

Thanks for your comments on yesterday's image. I had no early computer access at home because my secondary hard drive, or the power supply to it, burned and was smoking. The putrid electrical fire smell was terrible. Our computer techs had never seen anything like it. All my graphics were on that drive, but thankfully were backed up on an external drive.

We're packing and getting the van ready for our departure Friday, and very much looking forward to our 2-week trip. ♥

Picture perfect postcard! A really beautiful scene.

Barbara from Florida, United States

The scene is spectacular and wonderfully framed through the palms. It could be a postcard of a trip already taken. Enjoy your time away, hopefully there will be some photo opportunities during that time.
Frying computer drives not something one wants to see on the menu. It sounded like a close call.
