We live as much of our life as possible on the water -- this look-back to 2011 is shared with water lovers everywhere and linked with NATURE FOOTSTEPS-WATER and OUR WORLD. Happy watery New Year!
WINTER: in Florida Winter means car trips to water places and boat trips on the water, with friends and visiting family.
LATE WINTER/EARLY SPRING: Boat club trips including one across Lake Okechobee to the other side of the state. We successfully navigated many locks.
SPRING: We stayed near the water as often as we could when we traveled acros the country East to West. We even saw pelicans -- and kayaks -- in Colorado.
SUMMER: Oregon. Sweet Creek Falls and Fern Ridge Lake.
FALL and EARLY WINTER: More watery places on our road trip west to East -- and back in Florida looking forward to another year on the water!
I am fond of water parks and I am sure these cool places would be worth visit.

Wonderful water shots. Winter in Colorado means no water, at least none of the liquid kind!

Great series of mosaics! You know I live by the ocean and actually I couldn't live anywhere else. Of course I love visiting other places like deserts and so, BUT I know I'll be back to the seaside. :-)

Great to be near or on the water if you can. I love the many egrets!

Fabulous look-back at your year, Sallie. I love bodies of water, from birdbaths to oceans and everything in between! Thanks!
Looking forward to more in 2012.
