There’s always a silver lining when it rains — in this case, it’s how the street turns into a mirror. The soft light, wet bricks, and gentle ripples create their own kind of beauty. Sometimes you just have to look down to see the beauty shining back at you. 🌧️💫

The sky did not disappoint tonight!

Beautiful sky to the West tonight while the storm is brewing in the East.

I planted Muhly Grass this spring because I love their pink feathers in the fall. Can’t believe my little 4” plants have already grown up and bloomed! I’ve been trying to get a good shot of their new color, and tonight the sunset showed up right behind them. As always, zoom in to see the details 💫

Went scouting with my camera today to see what I could find. Lily pad beds were what caught my attention! I really love how the light reflecting off of the unopened flower makes it look like jewelry! You might have to zoom in on the image to see all of the details.

Grace is not perfection. It is the gentle current that moves beneath all our flaws, carrying us back toward one another. Where morality sets the path, grace softens our steps.

Beautiful afternoon for a ride around the marshes 🌿🚲

Absolutely gorgeous night last night. 78 with a breeze and a beautiful sky to close out the day.

So ready for this cooler weather and the skies that come with it 🌟

The peaceful beauty of this spring-fed creek calls me back. These are the moments that feed my soul. Loving these images in black & white. 🌟

More from my river trip 🌟 I started out shooting black & white film, and I can’t help but keep coming back to it. I just love the intricate simplicity.

When the beach has fancy decor 🌟

Early morning serenity on the river 🌟

Gorgeous paddle on the river this morning 🌟

Had a great day paddling and exploring. The spring-fed creek was absolutely beautiful and serene 🌟

Pulled over last night and caught the San Sebastian River under a sky that didn’t hold back the beauty the comes with storms.

Our iconic Magic Beach Motel will be torn down, and my heart is heavy. This colorful, quirky gem has been more than just a place to stay—it’s been part of our community’s character, charm, and story for decades. So many memories tied to that retro neon sign. Sad to see it go. 💔 📷: Photos are mine.

Beautiful rainbow early this morning.

Rainy days naps with the sweet starlet Norma Jean.

New rain gauge for the flower bed says we had a 4” downpour in my neighborhood 👀

The wonderment of kitties is endless 🌟

I could do with some more of these moments 🌟

Saying goodbye to Winter and very much looking forward to Spring ☀️ I was very pleased with how ICM smoothed the water in this image. #photography #staceysatherphotography #fineartphotography

Good morning wishes from Norma Jean. So grateful she rescued me 🥰

Fog can provide such beautiful atmosphere during sunrise on a river. I was so fortunate to enjoy these views on the San Sebastian River in St. Augustine.

The magic of sunrise—where the sky promises new beginnings, and the water reflects dreams yet to be chased.

“Liquid Gold” Some mornings on the beach bring all the colors and light. Combined with some beautiful wave action, the results can be magical. #photography #staugustinebeach #sunrise

Looking forward to getting back to warm weather, early morning rides.

There’s nothing like catching the sunrise over the ocean—it’s one of my favorite things to do!

I couldn’t help but call this one “Stairway to Heaven”—the colors, the glow, the way the light drew me in. Another inspiring sunset on St. Augustine Beach. ✨

Ready for another visit to Sunset Rock—one of my absolute favorite spots in Chattanooga! Always feels like a little escape with one of the best views.

The morning light and breathtaking beauty of my “sunrise rides” through my old neighborhood felt like pure magic and quiet inspiration.

Time to revisit to the Canadian Rockies, where the ever-resilient Mt. Rundle rises boldly, defying the elements with timeless strength. #CanadianRockies #Photography #StaceySatherPhotography #FineArtPhotography

Billowing clouds stretch like cotton balls, mirrored in the still waters of the river and marsh, where Florida’s endless afternoons provide beautiful serenity. #Clouds #NaturalFlorida #BlackAndWhitePhotography #FloridaPhotography #StaceySatherPhotography

I just loved how the sunlight filtered through the sprawling branches of old oaks, casting dappled shadows over the sloping grounds of Middleton Place Plantation, SC. #MiddletonPlace #BlackAndWhitePhotography #LandscapePhotography #StaceySatherPhotography

Princess Place Preserve: a serene escape into Florida’s natural beauty. #NaturalFlorida #PrincessPlacePreserve #LandscapePhotography #StaceySatherPhotography

Throwback one of my images of a peaceful early morning at Anastasia State Park—one of those moments that feels like pure magic. Hope this warms up your day as much as it did mine! #Sunrise #Beach #StAugustine #Photography #StaceySatherPhotography #FineArtPhotography

Homemade immunity tea anyone? 🌟 #immunitytea #tea #honey #homemade #healthy

Merry Christmas everyone. May your day be filled with peace and joy 🌟

Exploring the Ancient City in the quiet stillness of late night or early morning often reveals the perfect moments for my favorite shots. Bridge of Lions’ NE tower, St. Augustine, illuminated in vibrant beauty. #NightPhotography #StAugustine #Photography #StaceySatherPhotography #FineArtPhotography

Aviles Street in St. Augustine, decorated for the Nights of Lights season. It holds the title of the oldest platted street in the Nation. Under the street archaeologists unearthed pottery shards dating back to the early 1600s, offering insight into centuries of history hidden. #Photography

One of my favorite photography experiences is the Horses on the Beach workshop at Florida’s Birding & Photo Fest in St. Augustine, where the Baker Barn crew always delivers unforgettable moments to capture. #StAugustine #Sunrise #Horses #Photography #StaceySatherPhotography #FineArtPhotography

Sharing a sunrise this morning because it’s the start of something new—literally! Just had a total hip replacement, and I’m ready to get back to all the things I love, especially photography. Here’s to fresh starts and a lens full of new adventures! #StAugustine #Sunrise #StaceySatherPhotography

I’ve been having such a great time revisiting some of my favorite images from over the years. Absolutely enjoying the journey! Early morning light & fog, Yellowstone NP. #Yellowstone #Journey #LandscapePhotography #Photography #StaceySatherPhotography #FineArtPhotography

Always grateful for my photographer friends who catch me in my zone, capturing moments. #StAugustine #Sunrise #Beach #Photography #StaceySatherPhotography #FineArtPhotography

I absolutely love photographing the Nights of Lights season in St. Augustine, FL—there’s nothing like capturing the magic of millions of twinkling lights against the beauty of the European architecture. #NightsOfLights #StAugustine #Florida #NightPhotography #Photography #StaceySatherPhotography
