I’m very active with the Jax Field Trip group on Flickr. We go out on monthly photo adventures and side trips.

On Sunday, we boarded a ferry at 9AM in Saint Mary’s Georgia (about an hour north of Jacksonville) to head to Cumberland Island. It was a long day but we had a fun time photographing the land and two models.

My two favorite things about the island were the ruins and the wild horses.

Irma asked for a picture of her tattoo… I was happy to oblige

The Five Points area of Jacksonville is full of graffiti.  It’s this photographer’s dream!  It’s such an interesting back drop!

I’m fascinated by surfers! Here’s a young guy heading out to catch some waves.

In the heart of Five Points, is a great little hippie or “import” shop called Midnight Sun Imports.  I love the rich and vibrant colors of these dresses (pictured, right) that were outside on the sidewalk.  I love the smell of incense that resonates in the front of the store. Mmm Nap Champa…. take a moment.  Can you smell it too?

I knew it was *love* when I entered for the first time and they were playing acoustic rockstar god/musical looping genius Keller Williams on the store’s speakers.   I was a freaker right by the speaker yearning for double decker double-wides.

From their site,

Midnight Sun is a retail store that specializes in unique handmade gift items from around the world. We have been in business for over 11 years, and are located in a historical district known as Five Points – Jacksonville, Florida.

In our shop we sell a wide variety of Sterling silver and gemstone jewelry; clothing – skirts, dresses, shoes, sarongs, yoga ware, furniture, wall and floor coverings, picture frames, photo albums, lanterns, natural body care, music, and incense. We hand select our products which are handmade and imported from a variety of countries. Our silver – gemstone and deity jewelry, clothing, and accessories come from Nepal, India, and Thailand. Most of our home furnishings we import from Bali, Indonesia.

Okay, enough gushing.
