Still Here

Hello,

We're still here. We've just been busy with work and new projects.  I'm hoping we'll make more time to go to the beach this Summer and also get back into blogging.  

Here's a shot from last week. We were getting some big waves from a front out of the north and Tropical Storm Andrea stirring up the gulf waters.

One Love, One Ocean

Wishing everyone a happy and peaceful Summer.

Day Dreaming

I'm trying to be productive.....really I am.

But I'm dreaming of a warm, pretty day at the beach instead.


Happy Monday Everyone!

Mosaic Monday ~ Margaritaville

I thought I'd share some photos from the gulf coast taken over the years since I’ve got Margaritaville on my mind. Jimmy Buffett was in Gulf Shores Sunday doing a concert for the coast. It was to promote tourism and give everyone a little break from the oil spill. We didn't attend it, didn't get tickets, plus I don't think I could have handled the crowd or the heat. We watched it live on CMT and loved it. The first 10 minutes I couldn’t stop saying “OMG, look at the crowd!” Great turn out - 35,000. CMT plans to air it again a few more times so maybe you can catch it if you missed it.

He even reworked his song “When the Coast is Clear”. Here is a video clip from the show.

Where is Margaritaville? I think it's wherever you want it to be, wherever you make it. It’s been several places for me…. From a Midwestern river, a northern lake full of fish, a quick trip to the east coast, a vacation condo at the beach, to boating the intercoastal or fishing the gulf, to a kiddy pool in the suburbs, to a screened-in porch with cheap chaise lounge chair. And no I’m not a drinker but I’m really good at being a beach bum. :-)

So where is your Margaritaville?

For the Birds ~ Mosaic Monday

Photographed over the last few years on Gulf of Mexico beaches, Perdido Pass, and Mobile Bay area. Hoping they all survive the oil spill.
