Love on the rocks...

 

Love on the rocks
Ain't no surprise
Pour me a drink
And I'll tell you some lies
Yesterday's gone
And now all I want is a smile

Lyrics out of the song "Love on the rocks" - by Neil Diamond

Hi my friends,

I'm a big fan of Neil Diamond's songs and his voice and I always loved this song and that's the reason I dedicated today my picture of the rocks to this song.

I hope you're enjoying this song too!

Happy Wednesday :)

Never, never rest contented with any circle of ideas, but always be certain that a wider one is still possible.

Hi my friends,

I can hardly believe that's Friday again - this week was flying by so fast - for me!

I wish you all a happy Friday and enjoy your coming weekend.

It's getting pretty warm down here - it's spring time already in Florida.

Thanks for all your kind comments and compliments to my last post!

Hi my friends,

Thank you for all your visits and kind comments to my recent post on this blog.

I have not to much to say today, nothing to much happens around me just now. I think, I'll get out a little bit to enjoy the warm sunshine today - 78F right now. 

That's lovely and inviting for a walk on the beach :)

Happy Wednesday!

A wonderful bird is the Pelican...

 

Pelican - captured in Jetty Park, Cape Canaveral, FL

A wonderful bird is the pelican,

His bill will hold more than his belican,

He can take in his beak

Enough food for a week

But I'm damned if I see how the helican

Hi my friends,
Thank you all for your kind comments and compliments to my last post....if they were made here or on facebook, I appreciate them all!

You would not believe it, but it was so hard to find a poem about pelicans! But I got one - the one above, and I like it, it's short and humorous. I hope you'll enjoy too.

These coming next days I will try to capture the closest full moon we have now since long time in history. I hope the "Weather Gods" will be good to us and will not cover up the whole night sky with clouds :))

Wishing you a happy Friday - weekend is just around the corner!

Come Dance with the West Winds...

 

Fly away with me

Come dance with the west wind,
And touch all the mountain tops,
Sail o'er the canyons, and up to the stars,
And reach for the heavens, and hope for the future,
And all that we can be, not what we are.

~John Denver~ 

 Hi my friends,

it seems that the problems in Japan are not ending at all - our prayers are with all the Japanese people!

I want to say thank you to all of you for your kind comments to my last posts where I tried to explain my sadness and feelings to this unbelievable painful nature disaster - it's still a shock for the whole world!

My today's post is about the humans dream to fly and John Denver wrote it down with wonderful words!

Come and fly with me!

If there really exist a loving God....

Hi my friends,
in these sad days of being eye witness of all the terrible disaster that happened to Japan - and still happen - it's hard to blog about anything. No words can describe the pain and sadness the Japanese people are going trough right now!!!!

If there really exist a "loving God"... where is he now? If you see him, ask him just one word: WHY???

~Susanne

Weeping for Japan!

Weeping for all the people in Japan - our thoughts are with you!

And the river runs....

 

Banana River at sunset

The Banana River

is a lagoon that lies between Cape Canaveral and Merritt Island in Brevard County, Florida in the United States. It is part of the Indian River Lagoon system, and connects at its south end to the Indian River; it is the only part of the lagoon system not in the Intracoastal Waterway. It also has an outlet to the Atlantic Ocean via a lock into Port Canaveral. The lagoon includes salt marshes, mangrove swamps, seagrass beds, drift algae, oyster bars, tidal flats, and spoil islands, providing habitats for many marine species.These are brackish waters mixed of salt and fresh water;waist deep with a soft bottom sand/grass. Commercial and recreational activities in the lagoon generate more than US$ 800 million annually for the local economy.

Hi my friends,

many thanks for all the kind comments to my last post here on my blog or over there at Facebook. 

Love to see you enjoying my humbled blog :)

Today's picture is a detail shot of the Banana River in sunset light. 

I was longtime waiting for some Dolphins to appear at the surface or a Manatee, but nothing happend! 

I guess they just were not in a mood to smile into my camera. 

Well, maybe another day, who knows....*smile*.....

Have a wonderful Friday - it's weekend again! 

Is time flying by faster than ever???

Easy Rider - the tropical version

Tropical Easy Rider - Captured at Port Canaveral, FL

Easy Rider
is a 1969 American road movie written by Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Terry Southern, produced by Fonda and directed by Hopper. It tells the story of two bikers (played by Fonda and Hopper) who travel through the American Southwest and South with the aim of achieving freedom. The success of Easy Rider helped spark the New Hollywood phase of filmmaking during the late sixties. The film was added to the Library of Congress National Registry in 1998.
A landmark counterculture film,^[2] and a "touchstone for a generation" that "captured the national imagination",^[3] Easy Rider explores the societal landscape, issues, and tensions in the United States during the 1960s, such as the rise and fall of the hippie movement, drug use, and communal lifestyle. Easy Rider is famous for its use of real drugs in its portrayal of marijuana and other substances. Read more here...

Hi my friends,

I hope you'll enjoy this new post about my tropical Easy Rider and his Harley as much as you did my last post from Monday. Thank you for all the kind comments and compliments, I do appreciate them very much!

btw, Happy Wednesday everybody!

Not for car lovers only....

Drive-in banks were established so most of the cars today could see their real owners.

Hi my friends,

 

Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments to my "Wordless Sunday" post yesterday. I'm happy you liked the picture - thanks also to all my facebook friends and fans for commenting over there!

 

I have photographed this car (picture above) on an auction in Branson, Missouri. I don't know what kind of model it was, I just loved the detail and the elegance. And I love the quote! :)

Wishing you a wonderful start in this new week - hopefully filled with only good surprises!

The Norwegian Sun - Take a Cruise!

"The Norwegian Sun" is gliding out to deep waters

Close up of the bow and the colorful deco of "The Norwegian Sun"

The first of 'The Norwegian" fleet 

designed to completely embody Norwegian's "Freestyle" cruising concept, the Sun is defined by fabulous choice after choice. 

With nine restaurants -- including those offering Pacific Rim, Italian and other specialties -- you can have a different type of meal each day of your cruise, with seating at whichever hour of the evening you please. 

There's also an Internet cafe with 20 computers as well as wine tastings and art auctions. 

An outdoor basketball court, jogging track, batting cages, golf simulators and a fitness center that never closes will keep more active types busy. Nightlife is first rate, with dancing, Broadway shows, a cigar bar and other lounges, variety shows and the Monte Carlo Casino. 

Don't worry about the kids -- they're making their own splashes with the Kid's Crew.

Hi my friends,

Have you ever been traveling the seas on a cruise ship? Not me... I just love to watch those majestic "big boats" leaving out of Port Canaveral!

Thank you so much for all the nice comments to my recent cat photo. Tomorrow will be my "Wordless Sunday" again - come back and have a look. I do appreciate every single comment from you.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend day!

Cats to be spirits come to earth...

I believe cats to be spirits come to earth.  

A cat, I am sure, could walk on a cloud without coming through.  

~Jules Verne~

 

 

 

Hi my friends,

I'm a BIG cat lover. This little furry fellow I have photographed out in Jetty Park's wilderness. He was a real wild cat - hungry and fully concentrated and just ready for something good to catch.... don't disturb me!

 

I could not get his attention at all, his future food was more important for him than giving me that irresistible sweet cat look in to my camera.

Thanks for all the comments to my last post!

Have a wonderful day, y'all!

See you soon...

Susanne

It's spring fever....

It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is.  

And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, 

but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!  

~Mark Twain~

 

 

 

 

Hi my friends,

 

Today is the first day in March - spring is getting ready for you!

 

I hope it's getting warmer up North a little bit - we arrived in the month of spring, he will be here soon. Let's celebrate! The dark days are over, the days of sun shine are getting longer with every day  -  and they will brighten up your soul!

Thank you all so much for the kind comments and compliments to my post yesterday, I do appreciate every single one.

 

Have a wonderful first day of March!

Susanne
