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.

These are some of the pretty scenes from our Florida vacation. This post is mostly showing our time in Key West.

Scene from the Fort Zachary park, it was close to sunset.

SWF.....Sunset while cruising

For my Skywatch Friday I am showing some of the sunset photos from our cruise ship. Also, a shot of the moon. We had gorgeous skies while cruising and I enjoy skywatching. This is most likely the last cruise we will take. We have enjoyed cruising Alaska , Western Caribbean , Eastern Caribbean and this last one to Bermuda. You can click on my link to see pic's from my previous cruises. But, we really enjoy the fly-drive type vacations. Stopping where we want and as long as we want.

These are in the same sequence as I took them but a few of them are zoomed in closer to the sun.

I like the long line of clouds just hanging over the ocean in this shot below.

I hope you enjoyed my skies and sunset. Take some time and enjoy the beautiful skies from around the world please visit Skywatch Friday. Thanks to the hosting group: Sylvia, Wren, Sandy and Klaus.

Also, thanks for stopping by to see my post. I wish everyone a great weekend and beautiful skies.

SWF>>>>Sunset on the bay

The Cheseapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the England and approximately 200 miles long. It lies off the Atlantic Ocean surrounded by Maryland and Virginia. Noted for its beauty it does have environmental issues like over fishing and crabbing.

I hope you enjoyed my sunset on the Chesapeake Bay and

SWF..Sunset

These are shots of the sunset on the last night we were in the Outer Banks. We were at the Pea Island NWR. The sunset was amazing. The Pea Island Wildlife refuge is one of my favorite places in the Outer Banks and I am sure I will be visiting there again.

These closeups are my favorites I love the birds flying across the sky and the tree.

Today 12/2 is my birthday and now I feel one day older than yesterday.

Sunset Skywatch Friday

One of the best sunsets I have seen was during our Costa Rica vacation in Guanacaste. Our hotel was ocean front so we didn't have to go far to see the sunset.

This is also my Weekend Reflections entry. And to see more wonderful shots visit here on Friday:James Weekend Reflections. Thanks to James for hosting this fun meme.

The color seem to change when I zoomed in closer with my camera.

Tortuguero, Costa Rica sunset

On the third day of our Costa Rica vacation we were driven to the boat dock where we then taken by boat to our Tortuguero Laguna Lodge. We spent two nights at Tortuguero. Our lodge in a National park that is located between the canal and the Caribbean Sea. It was also a great location for the sunrises on the Caribbean, the wildlife and birds were amazing. But, the first evening we sat and watched the sunset near the canal and listened to the howler monkeys. These are a couple of my sunset shots that first evening of our stay.

Costa Rica

On the first day of our Costa Rica tour we were met at the airport for our transfer to the San Jose hotel. Our home for the first two nights of our tour was the San Jose Barcelo. At the welcome dinner and briefing, we met the rest our group of 42 nature lovers and our tour director. By this time, I was anxious to start the tour and to enjoy the wildlife and the beautiful Costa Rica paradise. Our nine night, ten day vacation included breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our tour director made sure everyone was happy and had a great time.
