Sunrise and Sunset from Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina

As you probably know,  George and I love to go to Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina twice a year.  We go in May and then again in late November/early December.  If I had to choose only one time a year to go,  I'd choose the NOV/DEC time since that is when we can see both sunrises and sunsets from our balcony at the Islander Inn.   It's also less crowded that time of year --so we have the beach to ourselves.  We do love to walk on the beach --and can do that both  in May and Nov/Dec.

WELL---we do enjoy going both times and both of us LOVE the wonderful fresh seafood we can get in nearby Calabash.

The header picture at the top shows a picture taken at sunrise from the beach.  And the picture at the top of this post shows the sunset  from the same location....  Hope you enjoy them!!!

Have an awesome January---2017!!!!  WOW.

GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK

I have been thinking about our wonderful trip last year (August, 2015) to the Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park.  One of the highlights of that trip was seeing the SUNSET each evening from various locations..

The header photo was taken from the Oxbow Bend area of the Grand Tetons.   Don't you love the reflections in the water along the Snake River?

This picture (above) was taken on August 24, 2015  but was from the Lake Jackson area.

Hope you enjoyed seeing my memories from the Grand Tetons.

An Arkansas Visit -February, 2016

Welcome to March!!!!!  George and I spent several fantastic days in Arkansas this past month.   While there,  we enjoyed just relaxing in our little cabin on the mountain.  We had great views from our back patio of the valley below and also of the gorgeous skies we saw that week.  We saw some of the most beautiful sunsets that we have ever seen. And it was fantastic seeing those views while enjoying a cup of coffee in front of a roaring fire in the fireplace in our cabin... Life was AWESOME (as it always is for us).

But--being at the cabin wasn't all that we did.... We did some hiking,  saw some waterfalls,  ate some great food,  AND even saw SNOW on Mt. Magazine (LOTS of snow)... For those of you who know me,  you must realize that I was in 7th heaven just seeing that gorgeous snow...

It was a great month for us---and a wonderful Arkansas trip!  The header at the top shows you a view from our backyard at the cabin---and this picture I feature today was one showing a beautiful late-afternoon sky with the sun beaming its sunbeams down on the valley and mountains.  Hope you enjoy both pictures today.

West Virginia Mountains in Autumn

We enjoyed seeing the gorgeous Fall Colors and the Views when we were in West Virginia riding up-up-up the mountain to Bald Knob on the Cass Scenic Railroad in Cass, WV.   We enjoyed several days with our good friends,  Neal and Patti,  the week of October 19, 2015.

My header photo this month is from our trip in August, 2015,  to the Grand Tetons National Park.  This sunset picture was taken at Lake Jackson at an overlook.

Have a blessed and thankful November.

Sunset at Mt. Nebo, Arkansas

George and I love to visit 'our' little cabin on top of the mountain in Arkansas every winter.  It's one of our all-time favorite vacation places!  Every year,  we enjoy watching the sunrises and sunsets from that beautiful place.  We have to drive to Sunrise Point to see the sunrise --but can see the sunset from our cabin.  Here's one of the beautiful sunsets we enjoyed this year.

Grand Canyon at SUNSET

We visited the Grand Canyon in June of 2011.   We visited the canyon two different nights in order to see the sunset... Today I'll share one of my photos of the sunset that evening.   Hope you enjoy it!
