Taken at Island Beach State Park.
Only first 3 miles of the park is open, rest still closed due to Hurricane Sandy..
Special thanks go out to Jessica Kirste, and Christine Fusco, for their help........It was really really appreciated. Be sure to check out their amazing Fox photos
My sister (also into Photography), took me for a drive down to see if we could find and photograph the fox that hang down there. Didn't know what do expect or if we'd see any. We saw one on the way in. On way out we spotted 5. Was so cool. Wish I had gone a month earlier, they were starting to lose their winter coats, and their colors were fading. There was 1 little further in the distance that still had that amazing color, but was a bit shyer than the rest. All the photos of the fox were taken from within my sisters truck (except for the one i previously posted, the one where its walking down the road).

Yes, we're in the middle of the Atlantic ocean and yes, there's water pouring out of the ceiling but there's no reason to worry!
This is down at the Guest Services desk on deck 1. Evidently there was a leaky pipe and these fine gentlemen were assigned to get it fixed. They must have done a good job since they weren't there on a subsequent visit!
When you take a cruise holiday your every need is catered to and you've got nothing to worry about.
Sometimes it's easy to forget that there are a LOT of of people both in the front and back of the house that make things happen for your dream vacation. Folks that aren't on holiday, they're working at their jobs to provide for their families back home.
If you should ever go on a cruise I hope that you won't forget these folks and will let them know that you appreciate the hard work they put in to make things easy for you. They bust their butts so that you don't have to.
One of those times when I wish I'd had my Nifty Fifty on. Sure, I could have put it on since it's always in my bag but then it wouldn't have been this shot!
Those dark grey clouds are just that. We're expecting rain and maybe snow. Those clouds were coming from the South and East, on the leading edge of a front. Of course, the sun was still hitting me and the eagle.

Thanks in advance to those of you who take a moment to leave a comment and/or fave my photo. I appreciate it tremendously.
Discovered in a barn in France during the early 1990s, this Delage received a meticulous restoration and is painted its original colors.
1937 Delage D8-120 Coupe Aerosport by Letourneur et Marchand
The Aerosport was designed by Letourneur et Marchand of Paris and featured pillarless "hardtop" styling and a fin on the trunk. The styling was so highly regarded that an Aerosport was one of a pair of Delages chosen to represent the French government at the automotive display at the 1939
New York World's Fair.
The Petersen Automotive Museum:
Founded on June 11, 1994 by magazine publisher Robert E. Petersen, and his wife Margie, the Petersen Automotive Museum is owned and operated by the Petersen Automotive Museum Foundation. Previously located within the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, the museum is permanently housed in a historic department store originally designed by Welton Becket.
Robert Petersen selected the largely windowless site as an ideal space for a museum, where artifacts could be displayed without harmful exposure to the ultraviolet radiation of direct sunlight.
In 2015, the museum underwent an extensive $90 million renovation.

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. ~St. Augustine
Time to close and begin another chapter;
And as most chapters do, not without tears or regrets.
I wanted it all to be over, and now it is.
Yet I'm the solitary shadow standing in the darkness as everyone silently packs up their things and leave. Right now time is ticking away calmly, day fading into night, date changing so absurdly fast I frown as I look at the calendar.
Plane, after plane, after plane.
Rows of seats, endless numb tuning out. Looking down as ground free falls from under my feet and vanishes. Meeting strangers, countless of them, most forgettable, some lingering.
That sensation of not belonging to anywhere.
The feeling of coming home, and wondering idly what changed - and realizing that I did.
The emptiness when I remember what I could have been. Where I could be. What I chose to do instead. And if I did pick right, in the end.
Our choices make us. They don't define us, but they lead us to our next destination.
We will all be under the same sky, no matter where we are.
That thought is the only thing that is comforting; that one thing, in all entirety, will not change.
Bathed in the early sunset light, reflecting in the Bay. Brighton Beach, Melbourne.
Today is world bathing day and yesterday was our shortest day when many people took to the frigid winter waters (some in the nude) throughout Australia. worldbathingday.org/
She was one of those kids who moved around a lot as a child, her father's job had them bopping from one city to another, until they finally settled down in Northern California. I remember that kind of kid, remember seeing how hard it was for someone to jump into a school where most of the kids had known each other for years, kid who had formed cast-iron cliques and who were suspicious of "new kids."
I remember being a sophomore and the new kid was a nice guy, tall, lanky, more facial hair than anyone else, handlebar-style mustache if I remember correctly. I was hanging with the burnouts back then, and it was only a week or two before they'd kicked this guy as far out of the group as possible, calling him Narc at every opportunity. Of course I joined in. Hell, truth be told, I was the one started calling him a Narc. HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS FORTY!!!!
I remember the redheaded girl who showed up, junior year? Sweet girl, nice to everyone she met, attractive in a way that was too threatening to the "elite" girls, and so was immediately ostracized.
From what I gathered, Jenn had an easier time of it, ended up both a cheerleader and on yearbook, where she actually met my other friend Jen.
Jen doesn't remember her too well, says she was nice enough.
Jenn says that Jen and her friends gave her hell, thought she didn't belong "on yearbook." Cheerleaders can't read, let alone write.
Always sucks to be the new kid.
Those moments when I left the camera at home, I am glad to have my phone.....
This picture is taken with: Samsung Galaxy S II LTE (GT-i9210).

This incredibly-hard-to-photograph (Very low to the ground) in the conservatory is, according to my identifier app, a Chinese ground Orchid or, if you prefer, a Hyacinth orchid.
I love those eyes, I really do.
I love that dog, though it still feels a little bit strange without Rocco, but I'm starting to enjoy him a little bit more again. He isn't himself lately, I guess it's pretty boring for him, but he's got to have a little bit more patience, Sunday we're going home.
An HDR shot of the Wynnum mangroves was sharp enough to pick out all those air-roots.
Pneumatophores are specialized root structures that grow out from the water surface and facilitate the aeration necessary for root respiration in hydrophytic trees such as many mangrove species. This will be in the test!
Those eyes can't get any greener. I think I may go play with this in PicMonkey and see how it would look with selective color.
For those of you who have asked, here is the view from my window! It's a bit over-processed, but the original phone shot was rather boring! As the day went on there were more people around, but it was damp and drizzly at this time. I would like to have taken this on a sunny day (which are rare at the moment!), but we usually have the vertical blinds across, as this faces the sun, and we'd all be blinded!
Opposite is the main city library and to the right is the Guildhall. The statue is Queen Victoria. The building we're in belongs to Portsmouth City Council, although we're not part of them - we just rent the office space.
Hope you all have a great weekend! ^_^
