Valentine’s Day fell during this week, so there are a couple of pix devoted to that pseudo-holiday. The whole week was one big jumble of nothing. It was a bit rainy, and early in the week, it was cold! Cold for Florida at least, falling into the low 20s. Hoping for more interesting shots next [...]
