Sand Dollars Galore!

We had company visiting us all last week from California~ One of the places I took them was Dash Point to see the sand dollars on the beach. There were thousands of sand dollars there (Seriously there were.) ~ Here are a few pics I took:

I love the detail on this one.

Here is a live furry one digging deep into the sand to protect itself from the hot sun.

Upside down in the water.

Hanging out at the watering hole.

Many different colors.

Gorillapod Flexible Tripod...

Last Christmas my brother Ron bought me the most thoughtful gift...

The Gorillapod Flexible Tripod.

Now everyone can be in the shot even the photographer!

Holds your iPhone or iPod too~

I LOOOOOVE it!

Now I the photographer can be in some pictures too!

~♥~

I took these pictures yesterday with my Gorillapod Tripod at Oceanside beach... Tim and I took a day off and hung out just the two of us...It was bliss!

You can google "Gorillapod" to find the store that sells them that is nearest to you! 

Have a great week everyone!

HOPE YOU ALL...

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Little hummingbird in my backyard-I place twigs by their feeders, they love to perch!

Funny Thing...

I think I got called a COFFEE SNOB on Facebook the other day!

 I didn't know if it was a compliment or an insult~ So I Googled it...

 Here is the definition:

It is simply being a person that is passionate about coffee. It is being able to appreciate and identify quality. It is taking time out of this fast paced, stressful world, to stop and savor coffee and enhance your quality of life.

They'd be more accurate if they called me a Starbucks Snob though~You know I have never bought a iced coffee from any place else? (Ever)

Well, at least no one called me a diet Coke snob~ It's been almost a month since I've had one and I am not going back! :)

What kind of SNOB are you?

C'mon you can tell me, I won't post it all over Facebook -I promise ;)

One Day Of Wonders...

This last week my husband has been on vacation. We got a chance to take off with the grand-baby for one day.  Here are some pictures of what we saw at Hurricane Ridge right above Port Angeles Washington.

Noelle waving "Hi" to a little girl~We can't go anywhere without Miss friendly saying "Hi" to the children who pass by. (Olympic Mts)

Behind the scenes view~She loves her purses!

The Hills Are Alive With the Sound of Music~LA LA LA LAAAA!

Taking a little sunshine break

While at Hurricane Ridge there would be sun breaks then all of a sudden we would be dancing in clouds...Here is a picture of how Noelle looked whenever in a cloud~She liked the way they tasted! (By the way, we didn't show her how to do this-It's just an automatic kid thing!)

Noelle talking to a deer-It looks like it's interested in what she has to say. I think she was telling it that the colors red and blue make purple because Noelle tells everybody that...I'm sure we have another artist in the making here.

Up close and personal.

~Nubby tree~

I set the timer on my camera and ran like the dickens to get a shot with all three of us in it! Of course Noelle is looking away-You can't win them all!

On the way home we went the Ocean route... Here are a few pictures taken right before dusk...

Noelle and Grandpa love the ocean-Look what popped up right in front of them!

This little Seal! Tim said it was like he was out there surfing the waves.

Noelle loves playing in the water~

The path home...

This is just one day of what the beautiful State of Washington has to offer ♥
