Sombrero Beach Sunrise & Tiki Bar Sunset!!

Most mornings I sleep in because working night security at Knights Key RV Resort & Marina upsets my body clock. The other morning, January 11, I was awake around 5:30 AM, so Doodlebug and I made the five mile trip to Sombrero Beach. It was my son Chan's 44th birthday. He had really been on my mind. He had just gotten home from Afghanistan after flying his last combat mission, his squadron's 50,000th flying hour in one year. He retires in May.

The sunrise did not disappoint...

There were some flowers at Sombrero Beach and, Bill, you know me.



Couldn't pass up some pelicans & a sailboat.


















Sunset was not too shabby on January 11 either. Happy Birthday Chan!!!!  !!!!

My Idea of How Jack Reacher Should Look!!!!

Lately I have been seeing the adds for the new movie, Jack Reacher. I like Tom Cruise; but, he is not my idea of Lee Child's (Jim Grant - true name) character in the very  successful and entertaining novel series...











My friend, kayaking mentor and author, Bill Burnham.

Mary and Bill's kayaking books, articles and guides are available on Facebook under Burnham Guides and their website @ www.burnamink.com. They guide kayaking trips in the Keys starting each December. They have a kayaking business in the Chesapeake Bay area. I had the priviledge to record their most recent kayaking trip which started at Knights Key RV Resort & Marina in Marathon, Florida.

A Corona Sunset!!

As on most evenings, I found myself at the Tiki Bar beach taking in the sunset. I notice a couple sitting on the dock and by chance spied his Corona; but, before I could move over to them a couple of pelicans flew by and I got distracted...




...quickly before the sun set I took a few quick shots of Bob & Sharron...








Thanks Bob & Sharron!!
May you a many more sunsets in Paradise!!

A New Year of Sunsets & Sunrises!!

The New Year 2013 did not not start out with any disappointments in the sunset category...
















HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
