Our front yard azalea has “popped”! Big time!
There’s still plenty of unopened buds – looks like it will be a banner year for our azaleas.
Thanks for stopping by!

Our Airport Terminal – Fernandina Beach
The completion of our new airport terminal is scheduled for June and construction continues at a feverish pace. The terminal is designed to look similar to the WWII US Navy F4U Corsair fighter.
For more about the Corsair check out this site.

Beach Renourishment on Amelia Island
A never-ending process of replenishing lost sand along our barrier island. The sand is dredged from the St. Marys channel and then pumped on to the beach where heavy duty bulldozers then spread the sand. These operations will go on 24/7 for the next 2 to 3 weeks.
Looks like fun!
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy SUNday!
Our local municipal airport is getting a new terminal building – evoking the feeling that it’s a WWII U.S. Navy F4U Corsair (which during the war these airplanes were used to train Naval aviators at this airfield).
It’s taking wing!
U.S. Navy F4U Corsair
Have a great day!

Whatever happened to E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial?
In the 1982 movie, we see E.T. board his spaceship and presumedly return to his planet. But, since E.T. was said to be hundreds of years old you can’t expect a galactic traveler like him to stay put.
Here’s evidence that he returned to Earth and opened up a chain of supermarkets!
Thanks for stopping by! be sure to visit our supermarket at https://www.ccstudio2380.com

Small Town America – Fernandina Beach
Classic small-town image – Peck High School completed in 1927. It was the only school on Amelia Island, Florida that taught grades 1-12 to African-American students. The good city of Fernandina Beach still uses this building and it is kept in excellent condition. It made for a beautiful picture today on this lovely warm Winter’s day.
Celebrating Black History Month here on Amelia Island.

Various ways to enjoy instax wide prints
A sample gallery –
The camera and the Instax film really shine when used outdoors under full sunlight. Focus on infinity and hold the camera very still. I believe the ISO of the film is 800.
Also available is Instax Wide Monochrome film at the same ISO.
