A lazy afternoon at the beach

A lazy afternoon at the beach

Sailing away to further horizons

Listen to the song of the ocean

Fun in the sun

I do like the ocean wave, actually. I'm born under the sign of Cancer - the sign of the crab - so I like coastal areas and sunny beaches and such - although not the wide-open and deep seas.

Hi my friends,

I'm a "cancer" sign zodiac too... and the words of this quote are made for me exactly! ...*smile*...

We've spent an afternoon at the beach yesterday, had a long walk together and have enjoyed the hot sun on our shoulders and the warm wind in our faces. Looking out to the horizon and listening to the loud splashing waves to the shores are the most relaxing feelings you can experience. 

They are inspiring and opening up your mind.

I just LOVE to be by the ocean.

A crowded beach

Cocoa Beach was crowded yesterday

Hi my friends,

Thanks for all your kind comments yesterday!

We went down to the beach in the afternoon. All the parking lots were more than full with cars and families were gathering under umbrellas. Daddies were fishing or tried to do so, kids were screaming, kites were flying and birds tried to catch some extra food.

The real life on a crowded beach! :)

See you tomorrow again? 

I know, it's Easter weekend coming up. A lot of you are for sure not sitting on the computers, like me ;)

Wish you all wonderful Easter days, enjoy life together with your families.

Susanne

Remember the warmer days in Florida

The picture shows pelicans flying over the waves at Cocoa Beach.



Hi my friends,

The best thing on the cold days we have just now in Florida is: the sun is back again!
It's still not warm enough as it should be, but it's getting better. There are still some cold days ahead.

I worry much more for our animals and plants. I heard stories about the manatees, sea turtles and iguanas who are suffering and dieing from these freezing cold temperatures. People are helping to rescue them all over Florida and they even open up again old electric plants, so the animals can come to warm up in the warm waters there. Sea turtles get washed to the shores, they cannot swim anymore in this cold temperatures. People help to collect them, bring them to shelters where they get good care and warm water to warm up again.

CALENDARS 2010 anyone...????
There are still some left, pep up those gray walls in your office with one!

Mr Sandman, bring me a dream....

Sand sculpture at Cocoa Beach, FL

Mr. Sandman, 

bring me a dream (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Give him two lips like roses and clover (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.

(scat “bung, bung, bung, bung.….)

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.

(scat “bung, bung, bung, bung)

Mr. Sandman (male voice: “Yesss?) bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a “come-hither” gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
Mr Sandman, someone to hold (someone to hold)
Would be so peachy before we're too old
So please turn on your magic beam
Mr Sandman, bring us, please, please, please
Mr Sandman, bring us a dream.

(scat “bung, bung, bung, bung….)

Hi my friends,

I bet, you all know the song about the Sandman, right? :)

I saw this cute sand sculpture of "Sandman" at Cocoa Beach, the same spot where I have photographed two days ago the launch of the Space Shuttle.

This is the Florida version of a Snowman from the North. His smiling face and the eyes are made with shells instead of coals and the good thing is, he don't melt in the sun :)

Thank you all for all the kind comments and compliments to my first Shuttle shots.
See'ya tomorrow!

Susanne


Buy my NEW CALENDARS 2010 - They make a nice gift for Christmas!

2 Minutes of Excitement!

Dave and I went down to the beach to see the Launch of the Shuttle at Cape Canaveral and we were not the only one waiting for that spectacular event.

And then... wow, there was the Shuttle already, high up in the sky
before I even could point and focus my camera to the right spot.
I was almost to late with clicking the shutter :)

O.M.G., that was quiet the most exciting 2 minutes in my life - and I almost missed it...LOL...

And a full view of the whole scenery
btw, all the pics are click able to see it a little bit bigger, so you get the idea what I try to show you here :)

Can you see that big white puffy cloud on the horizon? It looks almost like an atomic blast, but that was THE spot where the Shuttle started

And there were also kids, I guess, they don't cared to much about the Shuttle, about space and flying high up to the stars :)



Hi my friends,

It was an experience, it was a very short and intense experience with this space-stuff!
I admit, I was to slow and I have pointed my camera first in the wrong direction.

I'm a newbie...hey.. what's up...? Coming from the "good old country", how the heck should I have photographic experience with catching Shuttles on a digital media? ...LOL...
Anyway, however....there will be more launches coming up next year
and I will be there again and I'll be better, I promise!...LOL...

P.S. if you want to see the REAL pictures, click here

Thanks for all your comments, love you all! :)
Susanne


And now, back to Earth:
Buy my NEW CALENDARS 2010 - make someone happy for Christmas!

Hi my friends,

I like this quote coming from Sophia Loren, an Italian actress, and still today she is a beautiful woman. She obviously knows the key to getting old and to stay beautiful :)

Tomorrow I'll have my "Wordless Sunday" photo up - come back and see it. Thank you for the kind comments to my yesterday's post.

Happy Weekend everyone!
Susanne

Let's go to the beach...

Cocoa Beach, Florida


Someday they
let's go to the beach
the sun is my way
going to the sea by the sunset highway
driving my car
going to the sea by the sunset highway
driving my car

See you at the night awake
in downtown making some friends
good to see you so alive
good to see you so alive
smoke some junks
drink some beers
and make love under the sun

Let's go to the beach
and swim away
let's go to the beach
and swim away
