In the scenic harbor of Mississippi, one early morning at sunrise, I captured this stunning photo, showcasing seven shrimp boats, with three proudly bearing the names Sophie Anne, Brandi Ranae, and Boories Pride. Imagine standing there in the early morning chill, the air crisp and filled with the faint scent of saltwater. The sky begins to lighten, painted with hues of orange and yellow, before the sky transitions to the soft blue of the morning. As the first rays of sunlight break over the horizon, they cast a warm, golden light that reflects off the calm waters, creating a serene and almost magical atmosphere.

As a photographer, there’s nothing quite like the magic of a sunset on the beach. Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing one such moment in Florida, where the sky transformed into a canvas of vibrant colors. This stunning scene, featuring swaying palm trees silhouetted against a breathtaking sunset, has now become a cherished 500-piece puzzle.

Picture this: a sunny day in Stuart, Florida, and I’m on a mission to find the perfect cup of coffee. My parents, Phil and Cindy Stagg, and I were shopping downtown when we decided to take a break, get some coffee, and explore some other parts of Stuart. Little did I know, our caffeine quest would lead us to the majestic Roosevelt Bridge. Yes, folks, we were just a few hundred feet away from a photo-worthy spot, but our radar was set to Gilbert’s Coffee Bar. As I sipped my latte, and walked along the pier, I had no idea that a short stroll farther would reveal one of the most stunning views in Florida. Sometimes, the best discoveries happen when you’re just trying to get your caffeine fix!
