Manzanilla beach west of Cartagena  Columbia

I'm lucky that my next door neighbor is also one of my best friends. We finally got her down the shore with us last year to our little piece of heaven at Hideaway. When we were down the bay for sunset one night, she and I were standing there saying to each other "It just doesn't get better than this...who could want more than this?". Unbeknownst to me, my hub snapped a pic at that particular moment! On a day like today when it was snowing (wound up with about 8 inches) and bitter cold (16 for a high with -9 wind chill) it helps to remember days like that one last year!

public beach right beside Old Cartagena

More barren than I would have expected, mum!

As for you, marlegal, I see the "tipping horizon" is a family defect! hehehehehhehehe Seriously, though, what a GREAT moment for him to have caught. I LOVE candid pictures so much better than posed. They really tell it like it is!

Mum, nice beach pics. Wish I was with you the cold here is getting to me and it is only the beginning of January!

Mar, what a great picture and memory for you to have.

Hugs

Barbe - lol!! Didn't even notice that until you pointed it out I'll try to avoid that this summer!

Hey there beach babes, just checking in to see what is going on.  Love all the pics.  Can't sleep and this is a good time to check in with friends.

Barbe, this one is for you!!! Our campground has a FB page and one of the "security team" who stay there all year posted this a few days ago. Those things you see are pieces of ice on the bay. Nice and straight

heymoose

Soooo beautiful.  Miss you Mary. 

Hugs to all, Cheryl

marlegal

miss you too Cheryl only 9 months though! Tee hee

hehehehehe, nope, it's still a slanted horizon!!! The horizon may be straight, but it has to be parallel to the bottom/top of the picture! If you slowly scroll down that picture to the horizon (the bottom of your screen is straight), you'll see the horizon is slanted up to the left. I see that when I just look at a picture, but I think maybe it's because I get sea sick. Any "off angles" are super exagerated to me!

Barbe, I thought it was slanted too. Watercolor teachers tell you to measure the horizon line to make sure it's straight. If you completed an entire painting with a slanted horizon, you'd be sick when you realized what you'd done. Much easier to hide in landscapes. Ever wonder why there are so many hills in the background?

I use Picasa to straighten pix. It has horizontal lines running through them for that. 

marlegal

ok..I can see it now too! My first glance must have been after that5th glass of wine the other night

I still like the shot, so there! lol

SoCalLisa

A lot more fun to drink the wine!!!!
