I’m not exaggerating as I write this by stating this is the third time I’ve attempted reviewing Sweet!. It’s not because I dread writing reviews, or because I had better things to do.

Look at that slice of pizza. That isn’t camera tomfoolery trying to trick you into thinking that it looks like a huge slice of pizza. It is a huge slice of pizza. This is what the people at Lazy Moon Pizza do every day. When you live in Florida, a state that prides itself in…
I really need a new camera, or a photographer, but I managed to get a few shots of last night’s Art and Romance in the Park. It was a great night, perfect weather, fun music, delightful art to take in and tasty food & drink to cap it all off. Many people set up picnics,…
