Sunset on the Gulf of Mexico

This was taken the weekend of Hurricane Isaac.  The gulf was so calm you never knew there was a storm out there!  On of my favorites!

    That's a great photo, especially the way you caught those birds flying past the sun. Lovely photo. (Save me some of those sunsets!)

Where has the time gone.....

How is it that the end of the year is so close?  I wish I knew what the heck happened to this year but I will not waste any time thinking back as to where did the time go.

So, what have I been up to. Well, I have been playing around with my DSLR camera more than before, although I have not posted a lot of pictures, that will happen next year.  I have been watching, probably way too many, YouTube videos on sailing and boy are they great and amazing people.  I started to teach myself how to edit videos, which can be challenging. 

It is amazing how many people have said enough of living a life dictated by others just to make the all mighty dollar for stuff they thought they needed but really didn't.   They sell all their stuff, buy a sailboat and head out for the adventure of a lifetime!!

At peace...

It is amazing what a calming feeling being near or on the water has, at least for me.  It is peaceful, it removes whatever I had on my mind and gives me rest.

This picture was one of my earlier sails this year.  Every time I see this picture it takes me to that moment in time where I was at peace. 

I hope you are having a great day and that you find something that gives you as much peace as this moment did/does for me.
