Gulf Shores, Alabama
One of my favorite things to do when there is get up early and walk the beach, looking for whatever might have washed up over night. Plus of course enjoy the sunrise.
I found this pole and enjoyed poking around and drawing, I was using the net to capture crabs, just to look at them:-)
They're really fast and I kept taking shot after shot seeing how close I could get before he ran into his hole.
The beach is long and private, we go after the summer rush is over but still lovely weather.
The two-tone building is where we stay, we're on the 4th floor toward the middle.
This place is neat, a friend told us we needed to go to Lambert's they throw rolls at you if you want one you catch it. They come around with huge pots of mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, cole slaw, they keep filling you up till you tell them to stop.

a view of the public dock, I could sit here all day on a hot day, the breeze is wicked!
One of my favorite things to do is walk the beach and find beach glass, shell, and stones for "skipping", that's what I'm doing.
They had these frogs all over the place one year, companies sponsored them and painted or jazzed 'em up, they were everywhere. Another year they did it with pigs!
CANADA/NEW YORK/NIAGARA FALLS
A view of the American Falls, click to enlarge, you can see the walkway and get kissed by the falls on your walk!
This is the magnificent view out our hotel window!!
Across the to the American side, shot from our room, on the Canadian side.
ERIE,PA (my home town)
A favorite to bring home from Erie, PA are Smith's hot dogs. They have natural casings, a light garlic flavor and a crunch to their bite, we always make sure to bring several back and freeze.
An amazing WOODEN roller coaster at Waldameer Amusement Park. The roller coaster was new Summer of '08. (You get an amazing view of Lake Erie, that is, only if you keep your eyes open). This place has been in business for decades! You can get a ride-a-ramma or purchase tickets per ride, great for a few rides or all day.
Here is my dad and I standing on the dock of Presque Isle.
FLORIDA (SIESTA KEY)
Here is our granddaughter getting a feel of the sand, she enjoyed it so much and we want to take them back this fall.
Sam and Blake feeding the seagulls. Totally kay-osk (sp)
Blake and Seth having a great time.
