I started a new blog this weekend.  Nothing fancy, no words, just pictures.  Check it out...  Just photos No words

on my Nikon D5000 without always using Auto mode.   What a great thought and lucky for my one of the blogs that I follow; Simplicity   does just that.  Offers eclasses for a small fee.  So I signed up....waited for the first assignment and well...so much to learn just about my camera; and that will be another class.  Maybe some one on one instruction.  Plus after I signed up for the class I started a job working full-time, something I have not done in about 12 plus years.  OMG....  It will be challenging for me to get down for the class that I need to and I'm already behind.... So I think I linked my Flickr page to my Facebook page and my blog page but who really knows.  I will have to have someone check my Facebook and blog to see if I'm really linked to Flickr.  Hope you can follow that. Here is my photo buddy, his name if Ali E. Gator. You will see him throughout my class.  I will need to get a can of Scotchguard for when h...

So much for the groundhogs prediction.  So much for the Steeler's winning....a fan I am not.  So to all of you in the northeast tundra....an early Spring?  Flip a coin....

Spring....can you see it....it's out there....so close....yet so far.... Although I am not enjoying this latest storm with the rest of the you I did hear that Punxsutawney Phil did predict that the Steelers will win the Superbowl and that spring will be here before you know it.  Now I don't know if I would go betting the farm on this prediction.  So stay safe today and after you are done shoveling and cleaning off your vehicles sit back, close you eyes and just feel the warm sand between you toes....Happy Wednesday....

I had the opportunity to spend a night at "the happiest place on earth"....Disneyworld in Orlando.  I traveled to Orlando with my neighbor for some shopping, dinner and more shopping. We stayed at the Hilton Bonnet Creek Hotel.  Great place especially for families.  They have a heated outdoor pool with a lazy river that you can hop on an inter-tube and just float around. Then at night they have movie night, outside although I did not smell any popcorn.  Last night's feature was Toy Story 3. For you foodies.....yummy dinner at Emeril's Tchoup Chop Restaurant at Universal.  Excellent atmosphere and food. Sunday was brunch at the hotel and shopping at the Disney Store and stopping by the Lego store for pictures of their creations. Aren't these just amazing.  They are all made of Lego's.....wow.  Looking forward to returning and hoping to get to one of the many parks next time.  Have a great day.

The sunset tonight was awesome.  After a day of much needed rain we had a fabulous sunset.  The only thing I wish was that I would have been at the beach to experience this amazing sunset.  I know I will have that opportunity. Hope you enjoy the shots as much as I did taking it in......Have a great day..... I've linked up to  Scenic Sunday so enjoy......
