Stop…

Walking around the neighborhood, I always see this sign. Just an average stop sign. Someone decided to use it to spread a message. While I agree with their idea, I’m not thrilled with their methods… The other excitement in this photo is the sky. The clouds were moving so fast with beautiful blue sky in between them. By the time I walked around this block, the clouds had changed to a sea of grey, no more blue..Always amazed at how quick the clouds change….

Always look behind you…

When photographing sunsets, I always make sure to turn around. The sky is usually just as interesting behind you. This is the sky over Long Boat Key, Fl. If anyone knows who lives in that house, please introduce us… would love to borrow it for a week or more! 🙂

Bright Idea….

A random bright cloud opposite the sunset at Long Boat Key… so many amazing colors in every direction! I always thought this made Dave look like he had the brightest idea ever!

I just may have to become a morning person….

This is sunrise at the “real” Jersey shore, (Wild Wood, NJ). The beach here is one of the biggest beaches I have seen. Love the waves, the rides, and of course the sea gulls! This year we’ll be introducing the shore to our little Lucy… I hope she loves the beach as much as her mommy does!

 

One Year ago this week….

Last year at this time, we were in Long Boat Key, Florida. One of our favorite spots. During that trip we drove up to Ozello for a guided kayak tour, on the search for manatees! Kayaking was a great “hands off” approach to view these beautiful creatures. We saw quite a few all at once… it was all so quick and sudden when they would come to the surface, that I never got my camera out in time to snap a photo of them. While I was disappointed about not getting a picture, I will NEVER forget when one manatee came right up to the side of our kayak and looked me right in the eyes! He was just looking up saying hello thanks for caring 🙂
