Our World , My World

Hello and happy Monday! Happy April to everyone too!

I am linking up with Lydia of Where the Wild Things Were and the Favorite Fotos linky. Thank you Lydia for hosting the party.

I am sharing more Florida images, these photos are from our 3rd visit on Jan 12th to the Blowing Rocks Preserve and Beach near Jupiter Florida. 

This day was more relaxed, we sat on the beach for a good part of the day. We watched the waves crashing on the rocks, I watched the Brown Pelicans flying along the beach. 

I sat for awhile on my beach chair and watch an artist paint this scene below. I was amazed at how fast she painted the scene. 

Not quite finished, but I think the artist did a beautiful painting. 

Waves crashing right in front of me, I was lucky I was not splashed. It might have felt good though, it was a hot sunny day.

I was enjoying the waves crashing on the rocks but I also enjoyed watching the groups of Brown Pelicans flying by. 

I tried practicing my flights shots, whenever the Pelicans came flying by me. 

We also  enjoyed the Blowing Rocks Preserve butterfly garden, we walked the boardwalk towards the Indian River Lagoon. 

I was surprised to see a shark swimming near the waves, I also saw a sea turtle. I could not catch them with my camera, they moved too quickly. 

Me and my shadow. 

Thanks for your visit today!  I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.

Hello and happy Thursday!

These are images from our 2nd visit to the Blowing Rocks Preserve. We went to this preserve (hubby's favorite) 3 times and each visit was great. On this visit I watched multiple groups of Brown Pelicans flying by and in the ocean I saw some dolphins swimming by. It was a beautiful day and a lovely skywatching day too. 

This visit hubby tried to make sure the tide and winds were just right for the crashing waves on the rocky shoreline.

Thankful and grateful, for today and every day!

I Love watching the Brown Pelicans. 💗💗💗

I tried my hardest to get some decent photos of the dolphins swimming by, this photo below is the closest I could get of one of the dolphins coming out of the water. 🌝

These are some cute Sanderlings.  I think the lighter colors mean these are juveniles? 

I am thankful for the simple things and pleasures. 

Enjoy every moment!

I am Thankful, Grateful and Blessed!
I am thankful for all your visits and comments.

Blowing Rocks Preserve, Jupiter Florida

Hello and Happy Monday!

Jan 5th,  we visited one of my hubby's favorite places in Florida which was the Blowing Rocks Preserve near Jupiter Florida. We read about this preserve in one of our AAA magazines and knew we had to visit. It is a Nature Conservancy preserve, a protected section of limestone coastline. During high tides the waves crash against the rocks and force the water at times as much as  50 ft skyward. 

This is the trail to the beach. The sea grape tree provide a shady walk to the beach.

A pretty day to be at the beach, calm ocean water.

The limestone rocky shore. 

The Sanderlings were seen on all the beaches in Florida.

A lovely sky day, I enjoy watching the clouds. 

These Ruddy Turnstones were begging for food from the fisherman on the beach. 

The ocean has carved some interesting shapes and holes into the limestone rocks.  

While hubby was enjoying watching the waves hitting the rocks, I was enjoying the pelicans flying by me.

We also took a walk to see the nearby Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, Jupiter Florida

Thanks for your visit today!  I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.
