Yes, I have been away from blogland since last year. But I haven't been focused (ouch) on just relaxin'. I've also been doing lots of R&R, as in research and reviewing. And I'm happy to announce that as a result, I'm expecting a new arrival shortly. And you'll have to bear with me, 'cause I expect I'll be doing lots more learnin' as I get better acquainted with her once she's here.
Now with all the traveling and visiting over the Christmas/New Year season there wasn't much opportunity to share some of the (photographic) fun I had prior. Let me share a few shots I made at the local Coconut Festival a month ago.
And whether you're Irish or not, here's a blessing for you for the new year just begun:
May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow.
May the soft winds freshen your spirit.
May the sunshine brighten your heart.
May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you.
And may God enfold you in the mantle of His love.

The colours of the ferris wheel are great!
Are you getting new gear? :)
Happy 2013 for you and yours Rick!
Incredible photos. My Gramma was Irish and I love that little poem. Congratulations. B
Nice colourful shots!
Hi Rick, how you doin'? Gorgeous click, your photography skill is excellent.
Are you getting a new "toys"? Can't wait to see your new arrival. :)
Have a great week ahead, regards.
Een heel gelukkig nieuwe jaar voor jullie allemaal daarzo. Dikke kus en knuffel van mij.
And wowzers love these shots. Did you use a tripod? Must have. Amazing I wanna learn more about your settings in the last two ones.
So we'll catch up soon about learning more skills it seems.
What new arrival are you talking about...a 'her' ... a new camera perhaps? Do fill us in.
for now happy days my friend.
Hugs Dag
Great shots! Don't feel guilty about R and R - it's called refuelling! New arrival? can't wait!
Ooo my dear friend Rick
Your photos are FANTASTIC!!!!!!
Many greetings
Its about time we see some of those fantastic photos again!!! Your fireworks photos are absolutely stunning.
Wow those are great fireworks shots Rick. Glad to see you back. Blessings, Pamela
Wow Rick, fantastic work my friend.
2nd thoughts, you're too good for a Headbanger lol, not really, any time my friend.
Great fireworks, captured beautifully in your photos.

Interesting.I was just thinking about how I had not seen a post from you in a long time.Love the photos and is that perhaps a new camera in the wings?
Wow! Awesome pictures, makes me want to celebrate something :)
Love the fireworks! Happy New Year Rick :)
Yup, you've been missed Rick, it's awesome seeing you back again and your shots are out of this world. I see you've got a new header, I have to go back and read more of it next time I'm in the neighbourhood, it's interesting! ;-)
Now I'm curious who she is and will be watching for her. I can't even take a guess, you have me stumped on this one but I'm sure it's all good... oh wait a second, you said she! Could this be a clue or a hint...possibly a boat? Just a wild guess.
Have a wonderful weekend Rick and don't keep me guessing for too long k?
I didn't know the first one was a ferris wheel till I got the end....and those fireworks....so sharp!! Amazing! And, it will take quite a few visits to read all the little signs on your header...looks like fun!
Such great colorful shots.
I wonder if it's easy de passer de la neige au soleil si vite !
ça vaut bien un feu d'artifice !
your shots sont très réussies !
yes ! I love fireworks !
wish you a weekend de feu !
bisous frais de France
Very cool shots! It is good to relax and take a break from the routine! Holidays usually force that upon us but I have had a slow start to the new year. I would like a little more relaxin' time :)
fantastic work, rick!
i haven't tried to photograph fireworks so far. i still need to know how!
