Fun, and serene

Okay so the trio are from left, my son, Chris, my daughter, Alexandra, and my BIL, Scott. All making me happy and jumping for an action shot. I love it! This was on Myrtle Beach in December. The palm above captured my eye and the gate below was so serene against the sea.

I wanted a family shot sitting near it, but no. It was like pulling teeth. They all think I'm looney (sp?) because wherever I go, I like to take my camera. My son said he'd rather live in the moment than to capture them. Hmmm... he is 23 and thinks he knows it all. :-) mmm...mmm...mmm... So no family photo here but thought I'd share the peaceful moment with you. Enjoy!

Come join me...as I daydream

Well, today it was so hard to stay focused at work. I came across a couple of post cards from our trip to Aruba 2 summers ago that I had sent to my coworkers and it made me wish I was there all over again. Their motto is "One happy island". I just love that. It is on their license plates. The people were so friendly and the food, entertainment and beaches were fabulous! We had the best time. Anyway, the trade winds were always blowing making the heat bearable. Snorkeling allowed for face to face contact with Parrot fish, colorful sea urchins, starfish and beautiful coral reefs. The fish were so colorful and so many varieties. The sea was a vivid turqouise and so clear. The sand was white and the weather was divine.

Anyway, thought you might want to daydream with me... so these are a few photos I took while there. Laying beneath a palm sipping your favorite drink and enjoying a juicy novel, all with the sounds of laughter and the waves rolling in, the smell of cocoa butter and pineapple in the air. aahhh...enjoy!
