And in our family of surfers, plenty of beach time.

Lens Artists Challenge #80 – Leading Lines

For this challenge, it was difficult to not choose all beach pictures but I restrained myself and only used one 🙂 Here are my choices:

A tale of 2 bridges one old and being replaced by the new one the left.

My dad’s acoustic guitar purchased in the 1940’s/50’s

And of course – the beach

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Spring

We have beautiful springs in our area – sometimes cold but signs are all about. Here are 2 pictures from last spring

Although robins are around all year – they seem to be associated with spring

Also the trees start showing signs of new growth

Cee’s Hunt for Joy – Say Cheese

This is a rare moment of a photo of me. I belong to another group that has an assignment of a selfie for the first week of the year. Say cheese!!!

Lens Artist Challenge #79 – Window with a View

Amy has encouraged us to post photos of windows with a view – https://shareandconnect.wordpress.com/2020/01/11/a-window-with-a-view/

Here are a few that I chose for this challenge.

We have sliding doors in our great room so we are able to watch in full view what a storm is doing. This is one from a hurricane a few years ago

Here’s a better view from one of our other windows

Hope this one brings a smile – this was taken through a store window

Although I hate to fly – I have to admit that it is beautiful up there

The last one is of an expectant bride – I wonder what she is thinking?

Cee’s On the Hunt for Joy Challenge – Get Outside

This is a new challenge hosted by Cee Neuner https://ceenphotography.com/on-the-hunt-for-joy-challenge/

The theme is Get Outside. Last Friday we decided to go for a hike at one of our local parks – Seashore State Park. We have been going to this park since our dating years. There are lots of beautiful trails for hiking and biking with some near the water. Here are a few photos from our excursion.

The first thing we saw when starting the hike is a decorated tree

Here is a view of the water

These buffleheads were quite cute

I don’t know what this plant is called but it is often seen near water and marsh

Sunshine’s Macro Monday #24

Rain and more rain

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Winter

The only thing that is consistent in our area with regards to winter weather is that it is inconsistent. We can get some pretty good snow storms that paralyze the traffic and empty our grocery stores, spring like weather (we are having that right now), plenty of rain and sometimes just plain bone chilling cold. Here are a few examples:
