    The golden sundown was last week.

    Our little village sits on a wide spot of the bay of Green Bay. (The actual bay and not the city by the same name an hour south of here.)

    Here are a few more from the same evening.

    The boat just kept tacking back & forth, back & forth.

    I sitll don't know enough about photography to 'manipulate' what is there.

    I can't quite figure out why sometimes the photo comes out with blue water. Another night it can be orange. Here we have gold.

    I knew that it was gorgous at the time -- and seeing it here I can relive that beauty that I experienced....... I just long to know how to capture what I'm seeing to it's best advantage.

    Well. I'm probably not explaining myself very well. I just point and click and hope for the best.

    I'm a slow learner..... thankfully I have a 'patient' subject.

    Carollyn it's fun to see what you've been up to. Thanks for sharing.

    Faith, you know I"m your biggest fan. Keep on doing just what you're doing. Like me, as a fellow artist, we try not to analyze "how" we get what we get, we just take joy in that we "got" it!

    Carollyn, I have to ask what is in the water in the last pic??? The area looks very much like where I live in Ontario. Had to be Michigan!

    Barb it is an "island" in the Ausble river in Michigan.  There used to be trees here and a few years ago they blew down in a storm and this is what remains.  They put a flag there and the birds like it.

    Mumayan what a great picture I agree with Barb the resolution is fantastic, can't wait for more views!!

    Well beachie babes. I've made it thru security and am about to board..... First solo flight since all the recent madness. Feeling a bit extra loonie. Attempting to calm myself about all that is ahead this week. Those of you who are prayin' folk -- I'd appreciate yours. The rest of you can think a good thought on my behalf...or send happy vibes. My hubby keeps me sane... I'm one cracked pot on my own.

    Awwhhh Faithie---we sure will be sending up those prayers. I bet you've been able to wave at quite a few angels up there this trip, huh? I'm praying for your strength, stamina, peace of mind and heart for the week. I know it's harder when DH isn't with you. You should have pinned me down to fly out and help.

    Big hugs to all you beachies!!

    Wow that is a work of art.  I only know how to make the bucket of sand kind.  Can I watch in awe?  Good thoughts going to Faith for this week.

    Hey Faith ... while in Vegas, here's a shot of 28 ladies who met up in 2008 in Vegas for the time of their lives - this was our PJ party night - the hotel gave us a suite for the event, no charge.  Pulling that C card has its advantages ladies ... use it when needed!!!

    I MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Safe & sound in Vegas, in a suite that is outta this world! Can't even begin to sort out how "fortunate" I feel tonight.

    Much love.

    Glad to 'see' everyone having such fun as I check in tonight.

    If I start getting reflective, I'll start a new Vegas fountain-of-tears and that might not make me look all rested and charming for tomorrow's festivities.

    So I'll just 'w-a-v-e' at everyone and send out a heart-felt hug to each & all!!!!!

    xx00xx00xx00xx

    Strength and courage.

    Strength and courage.

    Strength and courage.

    [that's mainly for my own benefit, the strength & courage, but anybody reading along that needs some, there's enough to go around when we all stick together!!]

    Can't believe I'm the only one in this suite. There's enough room for at least 15 to be seated at the same time in my living area -- I kid you not. This traveling on 'corporate account' is something all together new to me. LOLOLOL I hope that I never get used to this kind of treatment. It's just so much fun to feel like royalty for the week!
