Winning Photo!

I'm very proud of my husband Mike! His first ever photo contest, the Power of Photography show, and he wins two awards; the "New Member Award" and he placed 1st in the "Animal" category. The show is hosted by the Wide Angle Photo Club in Pensacola that we recently joined.

The Power of Photography show is an annual juried photo show open to members and the general public while being a fundraiser for ARC Gateway.

The Blues (Blue Angels): Pensacola Beach

Red, White and Blues Week is not complete unless you see the Blues at least once! We saw the Blues practic twice; once by the Pensacola Beach Ball water tower, and further down the beach towards Ft. Pickens. Special thanks to my friend Pam to join her and to her sister Sharon's for inviting me to her beach condo to view the airshow.

See how close they fly by Sharon's condo. So close you can smell the jet fuel!

Ft. Pickens: Pensacola Beach

The road for vehicles to get to Ft. Pickens had recently opened after having been closed a few years from hurricane storm damage. We ventured out to the fort and a few trails. Another traveler pointed us to a nest that had three Ospreys in it. Sarah Beth captured a nice photo of the birds.

Blue Angels

Our family loves the Blue Angels! My husband and I grew up in Pensacola and when we're there, we try not to miss a chance to see them practice. It's an exciting way to see them perform without a 100,000+ people trying to at the same time.
