4th Annual Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk TWO!

This will be a bit different we had a “FASHION PHOTO WALK” with a group of models to work with us to be featured in these photographs posing in various outfits around all the historic buildings. With all the “Model Photographer Photo Groups” in the area I think it will be fun to have both the photographer and model featured in the photographs from this walk. You can either participate in this “FASHION PHOTO WALK” or go off and shoot just the historic architecture and other various sites in the vicinity. We started at the gallery in the Downtown Historic District. The address is “Gallery of Hope.org” 2036 14th Ave. STE 101 Vero Beach, FL 32960.

Classic Car Cruise In At Sonic Drive In

Approximately 50-80 classic cars will park on the south side of the facility and the newer cars on the north side along with regular customers. Sonic servers were dressed in period poodle skirt clothing with their roller skates which made for great photo ops. To avoid bystanders in our photos, we zoomed in on the details that made these cars classics!

FOUNTAIN - Copperleaf Development Palm City

Copperleaf is a prestigious private community in Palm City. As you approach this gated community, down its long private drive, you are greeted by a magnificent entry fountain. Designed for those who appreciate the tranquil comforts of natural surroundings, 43% of Copperleaf’s acreage is devoted to wetlands, pristine nature preserves and glistening lakes. We concentrated our shoot to photographing the fountain at twilight.

"Fountain was very nice, want to do more shots I may go back to get the logo lol." -Eileen Taylor

"Beautiful twilight sky made a nice backdrop for the fountain." -Janice Reynolds

"Nice dinner and chat with everyone. We welcomed a couple of new members, I hope they enjoyed the outing! Pretty cool fountain, if we would of gotten our dinner a little faster we might have had more twilight but the weather held us back a bit too. All in all a great shoot!" -J. Scott Kelly

Arnolds Butterfly Haven

Arnold’s Butterfly Haven is an extension of the animal conservation and rehabilitation efforts of Arnold’s Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, located just north of Okeechobee, FL. Arnold’s Butterfly Haven is a half-acre, free-ranging butterfly garden in the shape of the Zebra Longwing, Florida’s State Butterfly. It contains over 2000 native larval and nectar plants, specific to indigenous butterfly species.

Unlike typical “staged and caged” gardens, in which butterflies are not only artificially introduced and contained, Arnold’s Butterfly Haven is an open-range, naturally occurring garden in motion, to which nearly 60 species of area butterflies are naturally attracted. There are also other exhibits of our wildlife center, including Florida panthers.
