One of the most interesting parts of traveling in the Caribbean is how colorful it it.   Here, we try for the most neutral colors we can when painting our homes.  We let the landscape add the color.   In the Caribbean the buildings are every color of the rainbow. A true treasure! Each one has unique shadows that add to the glamour.   For more great shadow shots check out the link at the bottom of the page. Blue, yellow and red makes these buildings almost look like a flag It's more colorful here in Florida than in most of the states, but still I'm dazzled when I travel to the Caribbean.   Sharing with Treasure Hunt Thursday Pink Saturday Shadow Shot Sunday2 Simple & Sweet Friday's

 An Impromptu Stop  We had rented a taxi while in Cozumel last year to take us around just so we could stop when  we spotted a place we would like to explore The color of the water in the Caribbean is just exquisite    Standing at that beautiful cement wall we could see across the inlet  We then walked along the wall to see what lay beyond.  We spotted our ship!   Also we found iguanas the size of possums! The shadows in these pictures are perfect to send to Shadow Shot Sunday 2  Take a moment to click on the link and see featured photos from all over the world.

Taking a break from the hot weather in Florida, we traveled to North Carolina for a cooler holiday. In December/January bare trees and vines are the norm,  yet a flourishing Camellia hedge loaded with blooms and buds caught my eye. The contrast there gave me a start! It was full of waxy white, perfect blooms. Isn't it lovely?  The milder temps dropped into very chilly days and my granddaughter said she needed a hat.  So  I knitted her one. I love how the shadows have fallen over her face here. Then a surprise drop drop in temperature caused even the fountain to freeze.   We got much more than we bargained for, arriving here sans coats and warm clothing! Our first trip here in winter these same weeks, two years ago, didn't even require a sweater! Lesson learned.   It really was a  wonderful winter holiday!   Sharing with: Shadow Shot Sunday2
