Beach houses

I know, it's not even Spring right? But look where my day dreaming is taking me already... I love Summer!

Its my favorite season for so many reasons. I love the ocean and I do not mind the heat.

Spotted these little houses last spring from my hotel room in VA Beach and while there last week I went looking for them to snap some fun pictures. Something I love about the beaches in US. Houses and buildings are painted in such fun pastel colors.

Being brought up on an island, I miss the ocean so much. I am used to the raggedy and worn flip flops and worn, weathered painted fisherman boats tied at the wharf.

And walking down the boardwalks during beautiful sunsets!!

The island in the Mediterranean is different. Beautiful in different ways. I hope to be able to share that beauty with you sometime soon.

Our first snowfall...

It started snowing around lunch time on Sunday till late that night. The first snow fall this year and it may be our last.

I got up early on Monday, I put the fire on and made a cup of coffee. I bundled up really well, grabbed my camera and stepped out to capture the beauty of the snow until the predicted hot day melts it all away.

The sun was just about to peak from behind the line of trees far on the other end of the cemetery.

My house is located across the street from this old cemetery, some graves date back to 1830's.

This is my garden buried in snow. I love the blue paint on the apartments right behind my house. Especially against the white glow of snow.

I took this last shot and as you can see, sun was already nice and bright. The beauty of white only lasted till about lunch time. I am so glad to have captured it that morning.

Though I was also glad to head back inside to my nice cup of hot coffee and toasty fireplace. I enjoyed the rest of the snow from behind the windows instead.
