I don’t usually go looking for Christmas-themed photos, but sometimes they just manage to find me. 😉 This was shot in Belhaven, NC last year. And when I shot it I commented that it would be my Christmas wallpaper for this year. And so it is!
We’re headed for Belhaven again this coming weekend. There’s no telling what photographs might find me while we’re there. Might even be another Christmas scene. 😉
From our recent cruise. Â The ship is Celebrity Summit, and she sailed nearly alongside us for a few hours one evening. Â One of the few Celebrity ships we haven’t sailed on!
Kathy & I just returned from a week in Nevis, a Caribbean island that along with St. Kitts is part of the West Indies. Â This was our second visit there, after thoroughly enjoying a visit there last year. Â It is a small, quiet and friendly island, with great people, a number of nice restaurants and plenty of scenic views.
This is photo is one of a number of blog-worthy photos that I will share as I get them processed. Â In the meantime I wanted to get something posted to break my drought!
I particularly enjoyed looking at this photo as wallpaper on my computer desktop and wanted to share. Â Enjoy!
I was getting tired of my desktop wallpaper and decided it was time for something new.  But then I had two photos I really liked and couldn’t decide.  So guess what?  Two for the price of one! 🙂
Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back!
Kathy & I visited Hilton Head Island, SC last week, one of our favorite getaway destinations.  I got lucky with the sunset on the evening of our visit to Harbor Town and thought it wouldn’t be a bad view for my desktop for a while.  Enjoy!
I needed something new and tropical for my desktop. Â This is a photo taken on our recent visit to Nevis. Â It’s processed a bit more aggressively than I usually do it, but I think the result is pretty representative of a beautiful location.
This was taken at sunset on the second tee of the Robert Trent Jones II golf course at the Four Seasons.  That’s a guy who designs golf courses, and a big name among golfers, for those who might not know!
I was looking at my desktop the other day, and realized that I wanted something “Christmas-y” instead of the one I had been using. Â I thought I had used this image before as a wallpaper, but as it turns out I never did. Â So here you go!
Believe it or not, this photo was taken back in January 2010 in Belhaven, NC. I included it on my paper calendar for that year, and it was such a hit in town that the woman who owns the house and dock where this photo was taken bought calendars to give out to her friends!  As a Thank You I took her a print of this photo.  Hopefully she is enjoying that print.  And she gave me her permission to photograph from this dock whenever I’m in town, which I try to do whenever we are in Belhaven.  The tree isn’t there any more, but it’s a great place for sunrise at certain times of the year.  I think we’re due for a return visit!
Kathy & I want to wish all of our readers a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2016!
My computer wallpaper was getting a little stale so I decided it was time for a change.  That, along with a little nudge from a co-worker (lookin’ at you, Carlin! 😉 )
I took this photograph on our recent visit to Nevis.  Kathy & I were walking on the beach one evening just before sunset, and I saw these four sailboats anchored offshore.  The clouds in the background vaguely suggest a coming storm, but there was some nice color in the sky and there didn’t appear to be much in the way of actual storms around.  The Rules of Photography might dictate that three boats would be more appealing, but the spacing of these four boats seemed just right to me.
The thought that went through my mind when I saw this scene was “All Tucked In,” but since there were people out and about on the decks I decided that wasn’t quite accurate. Â I imagined that they had just finished up with a day of sailing and were ready to settle in for the evening, or perhaps come ashore and visit one of the nearby beach bars for dinner.
Kathy & I have done day trips on these catamarans and always felt that it would be fun to take an extended journey on one.  But we never seem to find a few more couples willing to share, so we haven’t been.  Any takers? 🙂
Just a little change of pace for the desktop, for those so inclined!
