St Pete at sunset

Back from a week in the sun. Our time share was totally shut down for about 4 months to update it. It really looks good now, and we had a wonderful time in the sun, just relaxing.

It seems all my sunset photographs were stars this year.

The last one is my favorite.

The rest was great, now I see why we needed the rest....to prepare for the yard work waiting for Jimmy and me.

Crosses for Good Friday

I, like lots of other people photograph crosses.

It is one of the many things I seem to collect.

My daughter and daughter-in-law have cross collections in their homes.

I collect the photographs.

This first photo was taken in Cartagena, Columbia, February 2009,

it is high on the hill overlooking the city.Next is at a little church in Rhea County.

I never thought about the significance of this cross being in the foundation of the church until I was preparing this post. It just hit me, they were sending the message that their church's foundation was the cross. Nice message. The lawn of McCampbell United Methodist Church, close to Dandridge, Tennessee.

The next 3 photos were all taken at Lake Junaluska Conference and Retreat Center, May 2008. The first photo is a natural grown cross, donated to Lake Junaluska.

While there I knew I had to capture the famous Lake Junaluska cross at sunrise. Inside one of the lobbies at Lake Junaluska.

Laurel Valley Community Church in Virginia.

The August post on this church can be view here.

(Darla, it is 'your' church.)

Don't know the name of this church,

it was in the area of Marion, Viriginia.

Hope you have enjoyed a small collection of my

photographs of crosses on this Good Friday.

Lighthouse in the middle of the ocean

While we were on the cruise Jimmy stood on our balcony

with the binoculars to see what was out there.

I also took this photo with a flash, but I like this one better.

One day while we were out at sea all day he said to grab the camera and come quick. There was a lighthouse out in the middle of the ocean. I don't have a clue where we were, except it was the day before we got back to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Click to enlarge, but I can't tell that it is anything but a lighthouse.

Another beautiful sight from the balcony, on a different day.

St Pete at sunset

These sunset photographs were taken October 25, 2008 on St Pete Beach, Florida.

These gulls were just asking for their photograph to be taken. Aren't they great love birds?

St Pete at Sunset from October 2008

Today we should be arriving back at Fort Lauderdale,

and leaving the ship. We will be traveling to

St Pete Beach for a week at our time share.

Hope to be seeing 7 nice sunsets while we are there.
