SKYWATCH FRIDAY. Thanks as always to those who make this meme possible.
Forgot to send these postcards from last month's boat trip to Fort Myers Beach. There wasn't a cloud in the blue Florida sky. You should have been there!
Skyscraper condos, colorful beach houses, lots of different boats
and ... blue sky and beautiful water.
Quiet beaches hidden from the hustle and bustle -- but spotted from the boat.
Springtime at the beach! Life is good.
Wish I had been there too. Sorry I missed the boat, Sallie.

Hi Sallie, thanks for stopping by. I was out all day, went to Anacapa Island one of them in the Channel Islands. The boat ride took us one and a half hours, and I was thinking about you. Too bad, it was so foggy and the sun lifted a bit at about 1pm but we left the at 3pm. It was an experience, no blue skies.
Will be gone whole afternoon, for another photo shoot, and hopefully I can share them in the morning.
My archives is growing,LOL!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. Rodeo is part of our university culture as SD calls its self, "The Beef State." There averages about five cattle for every person in the state, so cowboy culture isn't that much of a surprise.
Your beach shots are great. Fun to explore these shores by boat.

Hi there - nice set of pictures - looks like it would be a good place to fish.
I struggle with the idea that knowledge reduces beauty. Why does knowing which minerals make up a rock reduce the beauty of a crystal?
When I first saw the "halo Moon" I did not know for sure how the ring formed - but I knew I liked what I saw. A quick Google search later and I knew, and I still like the halo! I had the best part of 20 years practice explaining stuff like this - and I'm probably well read rather than smart!

What a beautiful place to be! We still mostly have only 10C/50F days.
I've had a blog break of about two weeks; so no wonder you haven't seen me around. I've been on a fabulous one week arts & crafts tour of Morocco, lucky me! If you're on facebook, you can send me a friend's request and see pictures from the trip!

Terry keeps saying we need to retire from farming and just live the good life. Seeing this makes me know you are living the good life!

Life IS good. I like the way you and your husband are celebrating these reward years. I also like how you do your photos in postcard mode.

I do love my springtime surrounded by blossoming trees and flowers but yours boating on the water and feeling those breezes on your face is equally appealing!
Lovely shots!

It looks just fabulous, Sallie. It is a good life, and we are enjoying watching the bulbs arrive in this new garden of ours - lovely surprises every day.
