Shadow Shot Sunday-Fence

Time for Shadow Shot Sunday again! 
Been busy with my family visiting for Thanksgiving.
The kids are out with friends and the grandchildren are sleeping
giving me a chance to do a post.
If you look through the fence, you will see shadows of the patio chairs.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Thank you to Harriet at Hey Harriet for hosting!

Alphabe-Thursday, C is for--

I know...today is Friday, but I do have an
Alphabe-Thursday post for you.
This week it is C.
I still have some pictures from our trip to Asilomar and Monterey Bay to show you.

Here we have a Crepe. A tasty C word.
Mine was a turkey, Cream Cheese and Cranberry sauce Crepe.
And it was tasty indeed!

While in Monterey, we came across this Candy store.
And it is a very Colorful one at that!
I did resist the temptation to buy Candy.
Did not want to sabotage my diet by buying Candy!
The name of the store is Candy Land. Cute huh?
The store was part of a mall type thingie.
Here it is from inside. Charming!
Hmm...more C words!
Cannery Row Company!
It was a fun trip!

Oh, and I must not forget!
I live in a C state--California!

Thank you to Jenny at Jenny Matlock for hosting our lessons.
Have a great weekend!

Alphabe-Thursday, B is for---

Time for Alphabe-Thursday again!
I am participating in Jenny Matlock's Thursday meme.
Click on her name to see more!

This time it is the letter B.
B is for Boardwalk. This is still at Asilomar where I shared 
"A" pictures.
And B is for Beach. The Boardwalk leads us to the beach.
B is also for birds on the beach!
That Boardwalk just Beckons you to explore on a Beautiful day.

More Birds at the Monterey BAY Aquarium!
Seems it was nap time when I took this picture.

And we also have going home on a Bridge at sunset!
I think that is enough "B" words for today!
End of lesson until next time!
Have a great day/week!

Shadow Shot Sunday -Palm Tree Fronds


I missed posting last Sunday because I was at a convention which is where I took this week's Shadow Shot
I thought the palm fronds made some interesting shadows. 


Thank you to Harriet over at Hey Harriet who is our host for this fun meme each week.
Hope everyone has a great week!

I am looking forward to my kids and grandchildren visiting
for Thanksgiving!

Alphabe-Thursday---A is for....

This is new thing for me to participate in!
Jenny is our host!

Found out about it on Ellen's blog,
so I decided I could join in this time.

Just got back from short vacation and we went to a couple of
"A" places.
 It was lovely staying at Asilomar. 
Found out  Asilomar means  "a refuge by the sea".
That is a very good description of the place.

With our stay there, we also got passes to an Aquarium.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium to be exact.
 I was happy to be able to get a picture of the underside of  what we think is a skate.
Doesn't it look cool?!?
A is also for anchovies. 
There are a bunch of them in this tank along with a bunch of sardines. 
They are in constant motion.
This is a circular tank and around and around they go
constantly chasing each other.

Have a happy week going into the weekend!
