Tripod Thursday- Scenery; Water and Sky

I hope you enjoy these photographs from Ohio, Florida, and Indiana.

Tripod Thursdays- Spring and Summer are Coming

Since it is snowing here again......supposed to get 6-7 inches, I am dreaming of warm weather, yet again. So for todays tripod shots, I  pulled photos of spring and summer flowers, beaches, and other scenery.
I took all of these shots. Most are from my home and the homes of some of my friends, but some are from our vacation in Florida, and some  are "just around" pictures. I generally carry my camera with me, and am known to pull over on the side of the road to snap away. I hope that you can embrace the warmth of the seasons to come, please relax and enjoy!

Tripod Thursdays

A few days ago I was notified that someone was following my Twitter posts (actually this always surprises me because I haven't really ever gotten the hang of Tweeting, but I do try once in a while). Anyway, I went to see who this person was and it turns out that she lives in Destin, Florida, which is where my Son got married last Valentine's day. I dropped her a quick personal note to tell her how much I liked her city and wished I was there since we were in the middle of a snowstorm. She, in turn, wrote me and said that she was actually from a town nearby my current home, and that she actually missed the snow. Of course I told her that I was open to trading homes for the winter. Sadly, she declined, stating that it wouldn't work well for her family. Actually, she was probably just thinking that I was crazed enough to do it! Lol., but I told her that in lieu of the house exchange, I'd be happy to send her dreams of cold and snow. She immediately responded that she would be happy to send me dreams of beaches and palm trees.

Well, here are some pictures of cold and snow, especially for my new, displaced Buck

eye friend, and I have also included some pictures of beaches and palm trees for other cold-a-phobes, like me. In other words, I am hoping that these pictures contain something for everyone....and just to make sure, I included all Ohio seasons. Enjoy! Of course, I had to also include my own personal ray of sunshine, my first Grandchild, Braidon!

More wedding pics

OH IO This is done wherever and whenever a Buckeye visits another state, well these guys keep this tradition anyway, so the wedding was no different!

This is where they were collecting sand in a heat shaped bottle to save as a remembrance.

During the ceremony

It isn't hot, but it's not a foot of snow either!

This is the newly married couple on Fragnista Beach in Destin, Florida, on Valentines day. It ended up being about 55, but it was windy and felt pretty cool....still, we found out that Ohio was sitting in about 13" of accumulated snow. I'll take cool on the beach ANYDAY!

This is my Son and his soon to be wife, the day before the wedding, on Crystal Beach. Today was in the mid to high 40's, but Ohio was hit with a bad storm and is expecting almost a foot of snow before the night is over! Oh so glad to be here! This is Crystal Beach in Destin, Florida, our first day here. A bit cold (40 and windy), a bit overcast, but still very beautiful, and MUCH, MUCH better than the 4"-6" of snow that we left at home, in Ohio.

The happy couple is now on a cruise in the Bahamas and we are waiting for the warmer weather we are promised later this week! Meanwhile, Ohio is due some more snow tomorrow and again this coming weekend. I certainly will HATE the drive home to all that snow!!
