Christmas Dragonfly
by terranovabay
The late night visit of the Christmas Dragonfly usually goes unnoticed. Probably because it does not bring gifts for anyone nor have any other particular agenda, which makes it not as popular as Santa Claus.

Neon Pie

The interior’s fiery, apocalyptic-red glow entices passersby into a world of deliciousness and, possibly, eventual guilt.

Eau Gallie Boulevard
by terranovabay
One of my favorite pictures from recent photo shoots with the car headlights streaking by past the picturesque faux classical architecture of the center building, actually an Italian restaurant, the palms, the intersection, and all the other lights and buildings. This was taken in Eau Gallie, once an independent Florida town along the Indian River Lagoon but now the arts district for the City of Melbourne, Florida, which annexed the town years ago. Happily, the area has retained its historic […]

Green Gables
by terranovabay
The Green Gables house built by William Twining Wells in 1896, remodeled in 1901 to its current configuration, is located along the Indian River Lagoon in Melbourne, Florida.

Always interesting is what little touches have been added to create additional ambiance under the palms. A weathered ram amongst the leaf litter. Palm trees and cats at one home, with seemingly home-made picturesque cloth garden flags dotting the landscape. Cuban Anole perched atop a giraffe’s nose. […]

Always revolutionary, never dead, never useless

“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m […]
