Blue Sky, White Clouds

July in Miami is hot and humid and afternoon thunder storms... But blue sky and white clouds are always nice to look at. Beyond this beautiful flowering tree is Dadeland Mall, anchored in the East end by Macy's and JC Penney.

Santa's Lair

Santa is doing a brisk business today even when it's a Monday in Dadeland Mall. I procrastinated but had to bite the bullet to face the crowd today in the malls, quickly running out of time before Xmas. I hate this. But the kids line up with their parents to take a photo with Santa in his lair. Frankly, it's getting harder for me to take photos in public places nowadays and I can tell that my photos do suffer. I just cannot take time to compose my shots. Instead, I just sneak and shoot before I get caught by some low IQ guards and get yelled at. But Santa's in this photo, if you care to look for him. Of course, you can't see the kids! I hate this!
