Some of my favorite photos
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
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!!!
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?

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

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:

Warm Days Where We Can Walk on the Beach
Cold and Beautiful
We are lucky to have had 2 opportunities to go to Rincon, Puerto Rico in 2013 and 2016. I say lucky because with all the damage from the hurricane and earthquake I don’t know if we will ever get to go back. It is a beautiful place that I would describe as “beauty in the midst of poverty”. Here are some photos from our 2016 trip.
This was the view from the home we rented. The ride down from this small mountain was very treacherous with it’s one lane road, roller coaster type ride and an abundance of curves in the road.
The stray dog population seemed to have gotten better between 2013 and 2016. These dogs clearly had owners taking care of them.
We went there because the surf is great in February/March and my husband, daughter and son-in-law are avid surfers
The beaches and surroundings are beautiful
Route 413 in Rincon is truly a road to happiness
Each year about this time we are blessed by these visitors. They are quite shy and do not come near the shore and are only around for a short while. I feel fortunate to get pictures of them.
