My Florida landscape photography trip fall apart every step of the way. I Missed Sunset. Missed sunrise. So what did I do?



This week's photography adventure was a non-stop challenge every step of the way. Our second trip to the Space Coast had great intentions, but was derailed at almost every turn. We camped at Buck Lake Conservation Area in Mims, Florida and that was the highlight of the trip for sure. Join me on this adventure and watch as I try to navigate the minefield of problems trying to access the beaches on the Space Coast.


Is this still considered a total failure? I did gain valuable information and did come away with a few unintended photos that I really loved. Im not totally sure. How do you deal when things seem to be stacked against you? I hope you enjoy this much more than I did haha! But honestly I still had a good time and one failure out of 8 trips ain't too bad! Sit back, grab a beverage and enjoy the show! This Is Florida!




Photos from Buck Lake - At least we got some nice photos from Buck Lake Conservation Area! This was a great place to visit and camp and I will definitely stay here again once I get my seashore pass for the week!
