Have the courage....

I'm wishing you ALL a peaceful Sunday!

The Colors of Life

Hold fast to your dreams....

Hold fast to your dreams, for without them life is a broken 

winged bird that cannot fly. 

Langston Hughes 

Hi my friends,

Here I am back again for a quick posting. 

I'm wishing you a wonderful weekend! 

Keep this quote above in mind, it's a perfect one - I love it! 

See you back next week again here on the same spot, o.k.?

*****Bring Colors into your life*****

I'm NOT ugly....

I'm not ugly, but my beauty is a total creation. 

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel 

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday, my friends!


Next Sunday will be a SPECIAL DAY for me and my blog. 
It's anniversary day - Yeah :-))))


After 6 years of blogging I'm not that sure if I will continue this blog... and it's hard for me to make this decision. 


"My baby" is now 6 years old and it is like in the real world, I don't want to let "my baby" go away, separated from me - and I'll be maybe forgotten too. 


But, I also would love to have time to do more creative work or even to learn something very different and new - away from photography, looking maybe for a new challenge in this world wide web of possibilities.


Well, as you can feel, I really don't have made up my mind right now.
Stay with me, first of all we will celebrate together next Sunday - the Champagne is ready - it's open house here...come in! :-))


Blogging almost every day for 6 years is quiet a long time, I have made some really nice friends from all over the world - I'm so thankful for that and I really don't want to loose YOU!

*** Bring Colors to your life ***

Caution Alligators!

Yep, we are here in Florida.....! 

But, I haven't seen one of them, they must have been hiding out in the shade somewhere....

A pretty park with a nice and long path around the lake, 

a good way to do our daily walk as a little workout.

 In the lake were not only alligators, there were hundreds of small and big fishes.... 

...and we saw a lot of "snake head" turtles in all sizes.....

...and hundred's (!) of Ibises were walking all over the place and they were even sitting up in the trees. I'll show you a picture of that another day - it looks really funny.... they are very busy birds, always picking in the ground for food and walking fast.... here I caught them picking those little fishes out of the water. 

Hi my friends,

we took a ride to the beach and to that nice park area where I shot all those pictures - and many more :-))

It was a beautiful, hot Florida afternoon, for once without that every day afternoon rain showers.

I hope you'll enjoy the pictures too - I had big fun to make them.

Have a great Tuesday afternoon!

Susanne

Bring colors to your life!

Never look back....

Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.

Henry David Thoreau

Hi my friends,

Never look back.... the quote is very true, but not for photographers. I get thought in art school always to take also a look back and the world presents itself to you in a maybe more interesting scenery! Try it....it's really fun to do.

Thank you all for your kind comments to my Sunday post and thanks for coming back today. I hope you'll enjoy my humbled blog.

In less than 90 days my blog will be 6 years old and I have decided to stop it. I have other plans in blogging. I'll let you know more about when time is come - it will be very different! But until then is still some time left to show you some of my photography.

Have a wonderful day!

The Pelicans are back!

The pelicans are migrating and took over "The rocks" in Jetty Park, at Cape Canaveral

Get out of my way, that was my spot last year and it's my spot this year also!

Hi my friends,

The white pelicans are migrating and back. Taking over "The Rocks" out in Jetty Park at the Cape Canaveral shores. I have captured some of them and it's fun to watch their cleaning rituals.

A large flock of White Pelicans winter also in the Indian River near Scottsmoor Landing. You might see them flying and feeding anywhere on Merritt Island.

Thank you very much for all your kind comments to my "Wordless Sunday" post. 

I'm gladly appreciate them.

Wishing you a good start in the new week.

Are you talking to me....???

 

Are you talking to me.......??????

Hi my friends,

thanks for all the nice and wonderful comments yesterday!

I promised you a little surprise some days ago, do you remember? 

I will have from now on every Thursday a GUEST BLOGGER. 

She's a wonderful blog friend of mine and we've decided to do this guest blogging together
and give it a try the first time on coming Thursday. 

So, then: DON'T miss out coming next Thursday!!!! 

She will write something and show you pictures about her adventurous outdoor activities and her travels allover in the U.S. and so much more. I'm sure, it will be interesting and big fun to read her posts!
And in reverse, I'll be a guest blogger on her site with my photography. 

Keep this in mind and come back every Thursday, and to visit BOTH blogs, o.k.? 

If anyone of you is interested to do the same with me, I have one "seat" left for the right candidate. 

Just let me know, o.k.! :))

Have a wonderful week.

~Susanne

My Wordless Sunday #41

A new self portrait...

Hi, how do you feel today????

Hi my friends,

that's how I look and feel sometimes early in the morning, looking in the mirror....LOL.... :)

I was yesterday in the Zoo shooting some animals, with my camera of course!

I always loved these funny looking animal faces, like this one of the Emu above. He looks like he is smiling and for the most I like the hair style - or the no hair style at all. I'll show you more pictures in the next few days with other animals I have photographed - before I bore you to much with my ZEN photography.

Thanks for stopping by, thanks for liking them anyway and thanks for all the wonderful compliments!

See you again - on the same spot, at the same time, right? ;)

Birds have wings...

Birds have wings; they're free; they can fly where they want when they want. 

They have the kind of mobility many people envy.
Roger Tory Peterson  

Hi my friends,

It's me - thanks again for all the kind comments from yesterday.

I had this picture of the flying seagull - made at Cocoa Beach - in my archives since many days and I was always thinking what can I say to this picture? Nothing....I had no ideas - until today, I've found this quote above and I like it. It describes in simple words: The dream of men of being able to fly.

Did you ever have ideas like "just flying away" to places where you never have been before? And what kind of places - where will that be?

Oh, by the way......: Happy St. Patrick's Day to all the Irish out there :)

Come back visiting me anytime, I'm still here, also tomorrow....*smile*....

Looking out for the good catch

Captured on my travels in the swamps of South Carolina.


Hi my friends,

thanks for the comments to my orchid photo from yesterday,
I'm happy that you liked it a lot.

This pretty white Heron bird I've captured in one of the swamps in Cypress Garden in South Carolina. He was not distracted at all from the clicking sound of my camera on
his hunt for a good dinner. Isn't he beautiful?

And now I have to bring hubby again to the ER, he is still ill, it's getting not better at all!!

One Flap of a Seagull

“One meteorologist remarked that if the theory were correct, one flap of a seagull's wings would be enough to alter the course of the weather forever”

~ Konrad Lorenz ~

Hi my friends,

thanks for writing me such kind comments and compliments on my blog. You brighten up my day - because it's dark and rainy here in Florida where I'm sitting just now. And more rain is predicted for in the later afternoon. Anyway, one day... the sun will be back for sure, it's the Sunshine State and the name only is promise enough, right? :)

Let the sunshine in - and see you tomorrow again.
Susanne

They're too busy....

Animals arrived, liked the look of the place, took up their quarters, settled down, spread, and flourished.
They didn't bother themselves about the past - they never do; they're too busy.
Kenneth Grahame



Hi my friends,

thanks for all your kind comments to my post yesterday, I appreciate every single one.
Have a wonderful and a good "busy" day, see you tomorrow!
Susanne
