Daytona Beach, FL - This year we visited Bruce Rossmeyer’s Destination Daytona during Biketoberfest and it was one of the best events of the year.

I’m happy to unveil my new blog, the Florida PhotoBlog with many unpublished photos I’ve taken over the years. Many of these photos either don’t fit into the travel category or were too similar to something I’ve already published on PlacesAroundFlorida.com.
Almost all of the photos at Florida PhotoBlog are available for use on your website or blog under the Creative Commons License with Attribution and are hosted on flickr. The photos range from beach scenes to wildlife and are high resolution with sizes up to 1000 X 750. For more view the Licensing Guidelines.
