Here are just a few of the many beautiful Tall Ships to take part in this years Tall Ship Parade in Norfolk, VA. I have posted other photos from the festival here.

Loving Summer

Just a few reasons to love Summertime!

 I can wear flip flops and no one thinks I am crazy like they do when I wear them and there is snow on the ground.

 Summer wardrobes are simple.

 Opportunities for fun in the fresh air are as endless as the sky.

Smile Your On Candid Camera

Here are a few candid street photography shots from last week.

This last shot is my favorite. It was one of three shots taken while we were driving down the street. I could hear the motorcycle but could not see it at first. I took the first shot with just the lens outside the car pointing backwards. Then as they pulled up I snapped this one just as the driver was raising his hand to give me a peace sign. Then as they sped away I snapped a third shot.

Macro Monday: Nature

The beauty of nature never ceases to amaze me.

Mine - Mine - Mine

How is it that something so aggravating can be so beautiful? Yes, I am talking about sea gulls!  I love watching and photographing them as they soar through the air and even dive and swop at unsuspecting goodies that are left unprotected. As long as those goodies don't belong to me. Or, as long as they aren't dropping bombs on me. Yes they bombed me this weekend while we were at the beach, fortunately the birds aim was off. This guy was intent on an open bag of chips.

View From My Back Yard

Once again the week has flown by at break neck speed, delivering us to Friday. 

 With the tropical storm just off the coast we have seen some pretty awesome cloud formations. I hope you enjoy these photos of the view from our back yard.

 Last but not least a turtle blew in.

Have a terrific weekend, and while your at it grab your camera and capture some great memories!
