Note: Originally published February 11, 2014. Several recent threads in a foodie group inspired me to re-post this. Seriously, a group made up of foodies. Clearly 80-90% of all comments indicated that most of the people had no clue what is chili. Most were describing a stew because they put beans and other junk in it. A few really clueless individuals called real chili sloppy Joes. Clearly, they have never either. There were the hopeless northerners who called it Coney sauce. Then there was the post where someone was supposedly competing in a Terlingua qualifying event. I seriously doubt they will be successful. The person was shocked by rule #3 prohibiting beans, pasta or other junk. Who attempts to go to Terlingua and not understand chili NEVER contains beans. However, the most amusing comment was the dude, who, from his comment, must be an awful cook. His comment was that beans are what gives it flavor. The name of the dish is chili, meaning peppers. If your chili has no flavor, you failed. Oh, I forgot the chic who thought Wendy's invited chili. I know, hilarious.

This is one of my all time favorite photos I have taken. When we lived in Florida one of our adventures was a trip to Flagler Beach and a drive down A-1A.

Throwback Thursday: Cedar Key at Sunset
I took this in 2014 on one of our trips to Cedar Key, Fl. Cedar Key is a quaint fishing village in North Central Florida on the Gulf Coast side. This shot was taken as our boat approached the deck.
Throwback Thursday: Sunset in World Golf Village
Originally posted, July 24, 2009. When we lived in Florida, St. Augustine was one of our favorite get-a-way spots. St. Augustine is a beautiful old city full of history, funky cool shops and of course the beach. I really love the contrast between the colors of the sky and the silhouette of the trees.
Throwback Thursday: Wakulla River
In the fall of 2013 we took a weekend trip to Wakulla State Park, in North West Florida. We stayed in the historic Lodge at Wakulla Springs. The Wakulla river is well preserved and the fall colors made it even more spectacular.
Throwback Thursday: Drifting
Taken using a black & white filter on may camera. This may be one of my favorite shots. I just get lost in the bigness of the Gulf and the Sky.
