Okay, I finally got some uploaded to photobucket and picked out some for posting here. As I took over 800 with my little Canon Powershot, some didn't come out too well (I still don't know many of the settings and should have taken more time learning them leading up to the trip) and the rest still need some manipulation, like minor horizon rotation and cropping.
So, here are a few and I'll add more later as I pick out the better ones of the crop :)
First off, here's me and my gf, Maryanne (she goes by "Maeryanne" here) deep in the greenery of the Palm Beach Bungalows.View from the bungalow drivewayAn aloe "bush" bloomI think it's called "flame brush" but I'm not entirely sure about thatSometimes, the Powershot amazed me with how detailed it could get, like with these hibiscus bloomsFir tree and distant island in Palm BeachJust liked the contrast of trunks and greenEast end of Palm BeachSunset at Palm BeachGreen gate. But where's the fence?! ;)
