Skywatch Friday

July 15, 2010
I recently found another cool blog: Skywatch. It just so happens that Skywatch is celebrating their 3rd Birthday…HAPPY BIRTHDAY SKYWATCH! I thought for my first entry that I’d post a shot I spotted while walking along the beach last night. For those of you that don’t know me, we’re at the beach in North Carolina. What’s the sky look like where you are?   That’s all for tonight – I’ve got more vacation photos to post tomorrow while we’re driving back home. Have a great

Unfortunately, I didn’t always have my camera on me when we passed these neat vehicles. Instead, I’ll leave you with two images that represent two type of “vehicles.” This first shot is one of the wheels from a horse and buggy (well the buggy portion) at the Cotton Exchange. A little history: At the turn of the century, majestic sailing ships delivered...

July 15, 2010
I’m going to make this (and any other posts today) brief. This week’s POTW (Picture of the Week) theme is black and white. I decided that I wanted to experiment with silhouettes while at the beach. This is my husband, his brother and our brother-in-law playing in the ocean.I’ve got a few more things to share with you today…you’ll see them pop up throughout the day. Have a great
