A perfect getaway….

| Kelly

For me it is perfect. Yes, there are crowds. Yes, it is pricey. Yes, it can have super hot weather. It is also a chance to go back to a place that doesn’t change, but always has new things to see and do. You get to wear funny hats, and no one thinks you’re weird. Run around like a big little kid! It is the craziest stress free place for me! Have to start the count down soon…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Summer

| Kelly

Here’s another shot from this past weekend in Wildwood Crest, NJ. I love seeing all the color at the beach. The toys from the previous post and the umbrellas in this one! What are the most interesting things in this shot though, are the clouds. This pattern of clouds lasted only a few minutes, as we walked down the beach they faded away. Clouds continue to fascinate me…

A day at the beach….

Wow, 5 days away from my computer, email, Facebook, and blog! I think it’s good to get away from technology every now and then, keep yourself from becoming too dependent on it… so I spent my time away at the Jersey Shore (the real one, not the one most of you are familiar with!). These are not my beach toys, but their colorful layout caught my eye. They are a perfect example of fun at the beach! (I’m also thinking this is what it will look like when Lucy hits the beach next year, we’ll all get a workout digging for her 🙂 )

Last week’s weekly challenge: Hands

| Kelly

I’m a bit behind in these weekly challenges, but I assume no one will hold it against me 🙂 The “hands” challenge was a tough one. What I learned from this challenge is that I don’t like the look of hands in photos. I guess I’m not a hands photographer. So, I took it another route… Let me know what you think!

Up a tree….

| Kelly

While at the zoo on the weekend, we were followed by birds of all kinds after our popcorn. The peacocks were traveling in pairs around the whole park and zoo area. This one decided just to camp out up in a tree, calling out to his friends. Making a most interesting noise that I can’t even describe. What I found fascinating about this bird in a tree was how his long tail feathers blended it with the pine needles and branches! I had never noticed how well they can camouflage those beautiful colorful feathers..
