Underwater Adventures

During our time in the Dominican Republic we had the opportunity to do some snorkeling. 

We used my Pentax waterproof camera.  It takes pretty good pictures.  

Can you see the fish in this picture?

 Matthew found this conch shell.  He thought he found a treasure to take home, but somebody was living inside!

Sting Ray

Can you see the fish in this picture?

Caribbean Flounder 

Octopus?

We took at least a hundred pictures of all the fish.  

It was great that we could swim a short distance 

and see such a nice variety. 

Thanks for stopping by.
Have a blessed day!

Outer Banks, NC

 Today I am bringing you a few more of my favorite lighthouse photos that I took 
on our trip to the Outer Banks, in North Carolina.

 Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is a very famous light.  It was moved back in 1999, saving it from falling into the ocean.

Ocracoke Lighthouse was our last lighthouse on the Outer Banks.  It wasn't open to the public, so there weren't any good angles to get creative in my picture.

The Ronanoke River Lighthouse was In Edenton,NC.  It had a lovely park/dock area to get great views of the light.

Outer Banks, NC

I thought I would share my favorite lighthouse pictures

 from our trip to the Outer Banks.

We added six more lighthouses 

to our list of visited lights.

I am sharing three of the lights today.

Below is Currituck lighthouse.  

You can read more about this light HERE 

 I added a vignette frame to these two photos. 

 On in the town of Manteo, on Roanoke Island, is the Roanoke Marshes lighthouse.  It is a replica of the light that was located at the at the entrance to Croatan Sound.  The town has a great waterfront area full of shops and eateries.  

Our next stop was at the Bodie Island Lighthouse.  It just opened up for tours this past April.  You can read more about Bodie island HERE.

Barn Quilts

I am back online and have a lot of pictures to share.  Autumn is our travel month and we spent some time in Illinois and Wisconsin.  Over the next few weeks I will be sharing some of my favorite pictures.

Down the winding roads of Door County Wisconsin,

 I found these barns scattered among the farms.  

The photos are bit blurry 

because some were taken as we drove by.  

I like the colors of the quilt squares on the barns.

 I love this old rickety barn. 

 It looks like it has been there for awhile.

Here is a crazy quilt square.

I Googled Barn Quilts and they have actual trails that you can follow and find all these colorful pieces of art.  

You may have some near you

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a blessed day!
