Quietly Soaring
How often can you walk out the door, look up and see a blimp? I know…not so much right? I walked out the door at my mom’s house and heard a slight roaring noise, looked up and bolted right back inside to grab my camera. ‘Cause like I said, how often does that happen?

And then the sky boiled…
The storms across the country have been horrific lately. I got some shots of one storm that rolled through our area a couple of nights ago. I noticed the sky had the eerie yellow hue it sometimes gets when large storms are coming. When I stepped outside to check out the sky, I thought the formations were interesting. As soon as the lightening got interesting, I decided it was time to go in. Sometimes it is amazing to witness the power of a storm.

Gone Fishing
I’m surprised at the different birds I have seen this spring. There were the kind of creepy birds at the boat dock. I also published a series of photos a short time ago of what I thought was a White Heron when actually it is a Great Egret. I realized my mistake when I was looking up information on this bird. I shot this Green Heron around sunset a week or so ago…he was fishing for creatures in the water. At first I didn’t notice him on the bank because he was very still. He stood for a bit then continued on his quest for water creatures. He would walk along the bank…

The End
I captured this image at sunset…looking south. I believe this was the back end of the cold front that set off all of the horrible thunderstorms that produced so many tornadoes in the south. There were still some dark clouds around here and there but for the most part, the storms have moved off the coast. The line of storms still looks quite strong off the coast….this was one for the history books. Oddly enough, you couldn’t see the setting sun, it was blocked by cloud cover. These clouds must have been high enough to catch the last gasp of golden color.

I surrendered…I caved…or the post otherwise known as look what I got…
You may remember my quest to obtain a decent looking camera bag….one that I could use in place of my humongous, ugly camera bag. I had lusted after other camera handbags I had seen online, but their prices were more than I wanted to pay for something I wouldn’t use all the time. True, I do generally carry my camera with me where ever I go, but I didn’t want my everyday handbag to be a camera handbag quite honestly. I just wanted sometime a little more attractive that I could carry when I went to a family function or a restaurant with family and friends that would also protect my camera. While I have no doubt the vendors…

12/52
The theme for week 12….From the Jewelry Box. I wanted to feature the box instead. My father was in the Navy when I was growing up and was deployed more than once. He brought back some beautiful Japanese dolls in glass cases when he came home….. …I don’t know what ever became of those dolls. One time, he came home with my very first “big girl” jewelry box. With the ballerina that stood up and twirled when you opened the lid, twirling to the sweet Japanese melody that plays from the music box within. The jewelry box is old ~ maybe very close to 50 years old…. the ballerina no longer twirls…. but the…
