weekly winners: more water views


May 17-23, 2009

We ran through my favorite neighborhood again yesterday. I couldn't resist bringing my camera again. In last week's photos, it was a bit cloudy, and I also was running later in the morning. However, it was warmer and a little hazy this time around. It's only going to get worse as the heat and humidity rises -- sometimes you can't even see the bridge!

(Someone asked last week -- yes, that is the Bay Bridge. And no, I don't live here, but I like to visit!)

I can't help it. I love the beach chairs. Helps me imagine I could be sitting there!

I've been trying to get a picture of the momma feeding her babies.
I keep seeing her fly off, before I can get a good shot!

Fun set for this week. I love the Rainbow Chairs, wonderful colors, and the baby birds! Great capture on that one.

Your first shot is lovely. So peaceful and inviting.

Beautiful photo's! I love the horizon's with the bridge. And, the last one look's like the nest is sort of melting. It's cool. Around here people have the bright colored adirondack chairs on their ocean view yards also. It looks so cheery...I want to walk in and order a gin and tonic.

I've seen a very similar mailbox to the marlin one before, when I lived in Florida. I thought it was hilarious!

Great photos!!

You've got a good eye for photography. My favourite is the flower shots under the caption "wild blackberries" and "purple flowers".

I LOVE the multicolored chairs photo. This set makes me want a vacation (ok, I already wanted one, but this only added to my desire.)

Thanks for the clarification of the Bay Bridge question from last week :) I'm usually the one driving across it, but you definitely have the better view. Incredible pictures!!!!

Those are all such great pictures...I'd love to lounge in one of those colorful chairs. :)

that bridge was crazyyyy this weekend! I headed that direction on Thursday night and whoa, lots of traffic. Looks much more calm where you went! ;)

Really super shots! Love the way the light bounces off of the water. And the osprey nest is extra special...

Those beach pictures are fabulous. They make me want to grab my book and sit in one of those chairs.
