"Tuesday: High 82, Low 62. Wednesday: High 82, Low 63. Thursday: High 82, Low 62. We're in a pretty consistent weather pattern here."
Yes indeed, we are heading into the summer season here in Southern Florida. It was a shock later in the day when I looked at my watch and realized it was still January.
I recently became a Florida resident when I realized that I technically was not a clear resident of any state. My driver's license was from Washington, but I my car insurance was based out of Oregon, I was renting a home in Florida, it was all very disjointed. Last week I made it official.
And after some wonderful quality time at home with my wonderful roommates, I was on the road again for Sunset Island to do some support work.
I feel pretty lucky to go from one home near the beach to another just close enough to the Everglades that I could spit into it. It's quiet here since all 8 crews went in the field yesterday, and I'm sleeping better than I have in weeks. Today we had a beautiful afternoon rainshower that distracted me from my evening run to take some shots.

Life's pretty great on the island. For the first time in my career, I'm doing support work, which means I work hard all day and get to call it quits at 5:00 p.m. It's amazing. I had forgotten what it felt like to have free evenings. I head into the field next week and then up to Boston, so the adventures, as always, continue...
Love it!
