Atlantic City, New Jersey

 Hello, wishing everyone a great day. 

I am sharing our trip to Atlantic City, New Jersey on Oct 30-31st. We stayed one night at the new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for a total of $88. The Hard Rock Hotel took over what was the previous Trump's Taj Mahal, since it went bankrupt in 2009 and 2015. The rooms are beautifully done after being gutted, we loved the newly renovated room. We had a partial view of the ocean and to the right we could see the bay. 

"It is a wonderful day, I have not seen this one before."


The moon seen from our driveway before leaving on our NJ trip. 



The newly renovated Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. 





Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is right on the Atlantic City boardwalk. 




Me and my shadow's view of dunes and Atlantic Ocean.





I am guessing these are the Laughing Gulls, I could be wrong.  





We were up and outside for the sunrise, the neighboring Ocean Casino has this ball on top of the building. It changes colors and messages. Below is the pumpkin ball. 






The message changed to the USA flag ball. 






"Slow down and enjoy life."

The ferris wheel on the pier changed colors, it looked pretty. 




"Happiness can not be far behind a grateful heart and a peaceful mind."


While watching the sunrise I saw rows of Cormorants or Black Ducks flying south. 





It was a beautiful sunrise.  

"When you start each day with a grateful heart, light illuminates from within." unknown





Thanks for visiting, have a great day!

Calvert Cliffs State Park, Maryland

 I am sharing some images from our visit to Calvert Cliffs State Park, located on Maryland's Western Shore. The park has 13 miles of trails, a sandy beach where you can search for fossils, fresh water and tidal marsh lands. The cliffs and shoreline are on the Chesapeake Bay, I enjoyed the views of the bay, a nearby lighthouse, hundreds of dragonflies and turtles. We saw a Belted Kingfisher, frogs, lizards  and the Red-headed Woodpecker.

There were hundreds of waterlilies on the marshes.

Me and my shadow hubby!






I was asked a lot on my previous post about beaver and being warned to look for the beaver. The beaver den is right next to the trail. Beavers have been known to attack people if they feel threatened.






I believe this is the Eastern Amberwing dragonfly.
