TRAVEL REPORTAGE FROM GRAYTON BEACH FLORIDA

Every year my family and I find our way South to the Redneck Riviera. The beaches along Florida's panhandle have beautiful white sandy beaches and clear blue water. It's a beautiful place and some of the images I've brought back over the years have been stunning! Last year, I spent most morning on the beach for the sunrise and was often joined by fishermen and waterfowl. I was especially intrigued (and followed) by the herons along the shore. The following are some of the images I brought back with me from my latest trip.
