The Design of a Palm Tree - 1

So it's no surprise to anyone who has viewed my blog before that I enjoy photography.  What you may not know is that I also do graphic design.

I took this photograph of a palm tree, September 20, 2011, in Melbourne, Florida.

I then digitally manipulated the image to come up with some cool alternative images....check them out!

Leave a comment and let me know which image is your favorite!  :) Rachael

Around Town - The Tiki Bar on Lake Minneola

On July 30, 2011, I visited the Tiki Bar on Lake Minneola in Clermont, Florida, with a friend of mine.  Good food, good company and gorgeous views!

Tiki torches line the path.

A popular gathering spot for locals.

No tiki bar would be complete without island decor.

The view from my barstool.

We had a fantastic time and if you are ever in the area on a bright, sunny day, I suggest you stop by!

Around Town - The Resort & Club at Little Harbor

Recently I had the pleasure of staying at the Resort & Club at Little Harbor on business.  Imagine my delight as I pushed open the door of my "hotel room" to find this...

...A lovely sitting/living area...

...The sun washing the room in beams of light...

...Pale shades of blue creating a relaxing sleeping area...

...A fully equipped workspace with free high-speed internet and plush seating...

...A kitchen featuring all the utensils needed to enjoy a bottle of wine for two or cook a full meal for ten...

...A spacious bathroom with charming brick-like tiles...

...Great artwork and accessories...

...And an ABSOLUTELY STUNNING view! Sunset or Sunrise...take your pick...

...As if that weren't enough, The Resort and Club at Little Harbor features loads of amenities, including grills, bon-fire pits, on-site restaurant & tiki bar, multiple pools and hot tubs, marina, athletic and workout facilities, and last but certainly not least...a private beach, private fishing pier & paddle board rentals...

...I CAN'T WAIT until my next visit!

The Resort and Club at Little Harbor is located at 611 Destiny Drive, Ruskin, Florida 33570
