    Hey there beach babes, just checking in to see what is going on.  Love all the pics.  Can't sleep and this is a good time to check in with friends.

    Barbe, this one is for you!!! Our campground has a FB page and one of the "security team" who stay there all year posted this a few days ago. Those things you see are pieces of ice on the bay. Nice and straight :)

    hehehehehe, nope, it's still a slanted horizon!!! The horizon may be straight, but it has to be parallel to the bottom/top of the picture! If you slowly scroll down that picture to the horizon (the bottom of your screen is straight), you'll see the horizon is slanted up to the left. I see that when I just look at a picture, but I think maybe it's because I get sea sick. Any "off angles" are super exagerated to me!

    Barbe, I thought it was slanted too. Watercolor teachers tell you to measure the horizon line to make sure it's straight. If you completed an entire painting with a slanted horizon, you'd be sick when you realized what you'd done. Much easier to hide in landscapes. Ever wonder why there are so many hills in the background?

    I use Picasa to straighten pix. It has horizontal lines running through them for that.

    I think it's a little blue heron. They're mostly in the gulf coast and south, but Wikipedia says they also breed in Baja. Really pretty bird.

    I feel like it's been way more than 3 months since we saw our bay beach. I don't lime to rush time, but I am realllly looking forward to sitting there! Haven't gone more than 5 days without a snow 'event' for several weeks now. And we're not even in the hardest hit areas.

    Keep those heron pics coming Lisa, they are among my favorites, as you know :)

    Such wonderful pics Lisa, thank you.

    Wish the snow would go away here in Buffalo.  Just soooooo sick of it.

    Hugs all.

    Not a beach pic, but a good one nonetheless! I came out of a local store Fri night, on my way to a haircut, and caught this when I looked up. Juggled pocketbook, store bags, water bottle etc. to get phone out to grab this before it disappeared!

    Barbe, I was thinking of you...the first shot I took, the light pole was leaning horribly and I could hear your voice in my head about the angle so I took another, focusing carefully!

    Marle, you done good! A tiny, tiny bit slanted still, but I wasn't going to say anything.....it's not the focusing, it's the angle you hold the camera at. Better to catch a great shot like that and miss the "level" horizon which can be fixed later.
