This is how I see life and the adventures my wife and I have. We love the outdoors, hiking, Kayaking, beaches, the mountains and everything in between. We try to never miss a chance for a new adventure.Monkee Seehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01050503451940718982noreply@blogger.comBlogger40125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773294073673056417.post-16253388929604505002011-06-23T20:01:00.000-04:002011-06-23T20:01:23.815-04:00Hello AllThe woman and I have been very busy working on the property.

I love to swim in the ocean, usually, however lately it seems that when the water is cold I don't go. In the past I used to have to say "come on baby, it's not that bad" to my wife. Now it is the other way around. My beautiful wife goes running as fast as she can, takes a flying leap and dives right in. Well, here is a series of pictures of yours truly trying his hardest just to go in long enough for my wife to get some photos. Oh, she got some photos alright....<br />

Sorry for the delay in posting more pictures. Been pretty busy lately but thats not a real excuse. I will start the posting again a little later today.<br />
<br />
My sweetheart and I went on a little trip to Nags Head on the outer banks in North Carolina. Now I know that its a bad place to take a good camera due to the sand and salt but extra care was taken to prevent any damage to the camera's.<br />
<br />
<br />
It was a great trip, my baby really had a great time. We got some body boards and road those massive waves. My poor baby was so happy to be in the ocean she had forgotten the golden rule of never turn your back to the ocean. The funny thing is that the water was flat, waves at about 8 inches high until she turned her back, LOL, this wave of about 2 to 3 foot high comes rolling in. I tried to warn her but too late. Poor thing has a big bruise one her back from where she hit the bottom.<br />
<br />
On the second morning my baby woke up and said she smelled smoke, this was about 2 am, I was still sleepy and told her yes I know, but there is nothing to worry about, but for the life of me I could not remember why until in the morning when I remembered reading about a fire caused by a lighning strike earlier that week. When I walked out side I noted that the wind had changed direction and was blowing the smoke from the mainland to the outer banks. The news said if you do not need to go outside don't, the air is in code red. We looked out the window and could not even see the ocean, the smoke was so thick it blocked the view. We decided to head back home earlier than planned due to the advancing thunder storms and the smoke. By the time we left, about 10 am, the wind had changed directions again and the smoke cleared up but the thunder storms had moved in.<br />

I will be posting those pictures along with the stories. Yes, I am going to try my hand at writing. After being a tecnical writer for so long I find it a little difficult to convert back to story telling. With that said, any suggestions or assistance will be greatly appreciated. <br />

While visiting family a little south of Buffalo, NY I woke up one morning and looked out the window to see this site. The camera I used was one of my first digital cameras. I don't even remember what camera it was.<br />

It turns out that an organization was handing out the chalk and anyone was able to do the same. Here are some of the drawings and yes one that I did also.<br />

We walked and shopped for about three hours. The shops here have a wide variety of items, art, beads, antiques and jewelry. They are also the host to one of Virginia's finest Art and Craft shows every spring and fall. There are many little area's that one can sit and enjoy the weather, scenery or contimplate on your favorite subject, no matter what the subject.<br />

It was a great stay and I was able to really study this display. It is a great display and if you ever get the chance to visit the Washington DC area this is a must see. The artist really captured the essence of The Awakening. The best part is that this is not one of those "Keep Off" exhibits but a total hands on experience.<br />

When I took these pictures I was very moved by the awesome beauty of the Alaskan mountain range. Where we stayed we were able to see Danali mountain and the begining of the Alusian Island chain. I have always heard of the beauty, the peaceful suroundings mixed with the vivid and harsh enviroment of some of the coldest days I have been in but I was totally amazed. I am not sure of how to describe these pictures so I am going to post them in the time sequence they were taken. All of these were taken in the afternoon on Christmas Eve, 2010. The series start at 2:19 in the afternoon and goes to 5:59.<br />

The first night there, while riding from the airport to the house, a very old moose crossed the road in front of us. However, with it being 1 oclock in the morning, we just starting to think about recovering from our 17 hour ordeal of the flight and I just didn't have the sense or the energy to get my camera out. After four days of moose searching and started thinking that Alaska really doesn't have any moose, my sweet, lovely woman saw one near the airport but it was behind a fence. <br />

We turned around and parked. Started walking to where I yelled "MOOSE" and we started thinking that it must have been a mound of dirt or a large fallen tree. Than we saw movement, and there was the moose I saw from the road, all of a sudden her young bull moose walked around the trees! I was so excited that I didn't care that my hands were starting to freeze in position on the camera, yes it was about 12 degrees, one of the warmer days. They seemed not to be afraid of us because both momma and her young son kept coming to us.<br />

It took about 2 hours for my fingers to finally thaw out enough for the pain to start. It was all worth it, no real frost bite on my fingers and no moose were injured in the above photo sequence.</div>Monkee Seehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01050503451940718982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773294073673056417.post-49178141827782710132011-02-12T10:33:00.001-05:002011-02-12T10:34:36.359-05:00A few random pictures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These are photos I have taken while just out walking or hiking.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I have no idea of the kind of bush/tree it is. We thought it was suppose to be a climbing vine, similar to Honey Suckle but it seems to want to do other things instead. These pods are very cool looking, when they dry out the will spiral.</div>Monkee Seehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01050503451940718982noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773294073673056417.post-80612532175145076112011-02-10T21:02:00.001-05:002011-02-10T21:44:32.244-05:00Masson Neck Park, Fairfax Virginia<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOeHnOoitJWlKyw8eUzF-vnns4IgpTcb4JUCdIq4-XkRIMfVaRBC9807eS9c8eDPgCjq5X4dhvtWL4BVHRU85vueHNb5sl81mNYgNrtxuxEElx8MaAtqH5xsHC4W8xricWNJR7Vrcgt5Q/s1600/DSC_4848.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" h5="true" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOeHnOoitJWlKyw8eUzF-vnns4IgpTcb4JUCdIq4-XkRIMfVaRBC9807eS9c8eDPgCjq5X4dhvtWL4BVHRU85vueHNb5sl81mNYgNrtxuxEElx8MaAtqH5xsHC4W8xricWNJR7Vrcgt5Q/s320/DSC_4848.JPG" width="214" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Wonderful walking trails and separate biking trails.</div><br />

Many quaint little shops of all kinds, a great small museum that I highly recomend. When you want a nice little stroll and maybe a good lunch than a stroll, take a Saturday afternoon and tour one of the oldest Towns in Northern Virginia. I am sure you will be very happy you did. This photo is the foot bridge that replaced the actual route 123 that was washed out during Hurricane Agnes in August of 1972.Monkee Seehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01050503451940718982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773294073673056417.post-32885648602811408622011-02-10T20:34:00.000-05:002011-02-10T20:34:45.526-05:00Virginia Wine Country<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPtlSe5COgEmJCwndxwKHnn82IeK63Ztfw5lOrzS5fdeW6SnPgGT7MBlYV-K2UgEWrtos_2MXMdl2RHw5N8h78LQsQ23gdntQF9-B_JKnw-1OmI4o9wU0uz3ENJEzYw8t2vqCK0uowPCU/s1600/Grapes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" h5="true" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPtlSe5COgEmJCwndxwKHnn82IeK63Ztfw5lOrzS5fdeW6SnPgGT7MBlYV-K2UgEWrtos_2MXMdl2RHw5N8h78LQsQ23gdntQF9-B_JKnw-1OmI4o9wU0uz3ENJEzYw8t2vqCK0uowPCU/s320/Grapes.jpg" width="214" /></a></div><br />
