Atlantic City, NJ

I am linking up with Oh, the places I've been @ Tablescaper and check out Linses Cotton's Scenic Weekend And Friday Postcards

These are some scenic shots from our trip to the New Jersey shore and Atlantic City. Atlantic City's boardwalk is famous from back to the days of the popular Steel Pier, a diving horse and concerts. When I was young traveling with my family we saw concerts featuring the Supremes, BJ Thomas and do you remember the group called 5th Dimension. Atlantic City now is mostly high rise casinos and hotels. There is a pier with a large mall.

The view of Atlantic City and a gorgeous sky from our hotel room. The next larger building is the Resorts Hotel and Casino.

The Trump Taj Mahal Casino and hotel on the Atlantic City boardwalk. We were out on the boardwalk hoping to see the full moon.

Next door to the Trump is the Showboat hotel and Casino..

A shot of the full moon from our hotel room at Trump's Taj Mahal .

A sunrise over the Atlantic ocean.

Since I live in Maryland I could not help but to take a shot of the sign showing Maryland Avenue and the sun rising. We use Atlantic City as a base to stay when we visit the Barnegat Wildlife Refuge and some times Cape May.

I hope you enjoyed my travel and scenic post. I wish everyone a safe and happy weekend.

SWF>>>>Bermuda sunrise

For my Skywatch Friday I have a few sunrise photos from our ship the Enchantment of the Seas docked in Bermuda. I also included some shots of Bermuda and the beautiful sky.

This moody looking sky greeted us as we made our way to the top deck to watch the sunrise.

This was the second day in Bermuda so we up early and were excited about seeing more of Bermuda. We only had till 1:30 in afternoon to see and do as much as we could fit in the small amount of time we had left in Bermuda.

We were happy to see the sun rising up over the other end of the island.

After watching the sunrise, we rushed off for breakfast. You can not go hungry while on a cruise ship. They have plenty of food.

If we can we usually try to arrange our own tour and excursions. We usually meet great local people and pay a lot less for the tour. By the way I have two unused two day bus tickets for Bermuda, anyone interested? My son and friend did not use their bus passes. Our plans were to take the bus to the beach to hang out for awhile and then go back to the dockyard for some shopping.

By the time we made our way off the ship, took the bus to Horseshoe Beach this is what the sky looked like.

Back on the ship, we looked back at the view of the Dockyard and the shopping mall.

Here is our view from the back our of ship as we were leaving the dock.

I hope you enjoyed my Bermuda skies, I sure did. To see more wonderful skies from around the world click : Skywatch Friday . Thanks to the host: Sylvia, Wren, Sandy and Klaus! Also, thanks for stopping by to see my skies and I hope everyone has beautiful skies to enjoy and a great weekend.

SWF.....Baltimore Harborplace

These are my skywatch shots from March 3rd. I took my camera to work with me and was happy to see some pretty skies. I am also trying to get in some exercise by taking brisk walks down to the harbor. So I feel good by walking and taking some pictures along the way.

I saw some pretty pinks along the walk to work.

The early morning pinks and blues are some of my favorites.

Hard to believe just a short distance away the sky turned more orangy.

The next couple are from my quick walk down to the harbor. I loved these contrails.

The sun was rising between these two buildings and by trying to take this shot I scared these ducks away before I could get a good look at them.

On the picture below, I believe it is a test area where grasses are growing to help keep the harbor water clean. I hope the test area works.

Thanks to the hosting group of Sylvia, Wren, Sandy, Klaus and Fishing Guy! They make Skywatch Friday happen every week.

Thanks also for stopping by to see my skywatch. Have a wonderful weekend.!

SWF>>>>Sunrise on the road

These are some shots I took of last Saturday's sunrise while my hubby was driving. We were on the way to Barnegat Lighthouse State Park in New Jersey. LOL, it is not very easy to take clear photos while the car is moving 65 miles an hour. Oh, and I almost forgot my left hand is still in a splint. So I was trying to take these shots one handed with the car moving. They might not be the sharpest shots but I just love the colors.

Click on the photos for a larger image

The photo below looks like a scene from Hitchcock's movie The Bird's. LOL, I know its awful but I think it is funny.

There was no way this one would come out clear, between the car moving and the birds moving it just wasn't possible.
