3rd and 4th of July, Fairhope 2013



 We went looking for the best place to see the Fireworks here in Fairhope when the Davenports get here. Well this wasn't the place but couldn't resist the shot!!!
 We found a place that turned out great. Not far from the Pier and had a show watching boats launch.
As you see the birds are ready for the show, they got their front row seat.
 The view from where we are sitting and that is the pier they will be shot from. Wow Sonny did good!!!The Van on the pier looks like a rescue vehicle if any thing goes wrong.
 That is where they are going to shoot from!!!! Ok ready for the show to begin!!!!
 I'm ready too!!! On with the show or he could be saying look at all those crazy people!!!!
 Boats and more boats!!
 They kept setting these things off right at us. Ron thought it was a UFO!!!!! Well that is what he kept telling me it was!!!
 I had so many settings on Camera wrong that nothing was working and couldn't get them fixed!!!
 Well all i can say it what i did shoot is colorful!!!
 First one on tripod!!! This one I took after I threw it in the Bay!!!!!
 I wish I could say I jumped in and got it and tried again but NO just my shaking hands!!

I lighten this one so you could see this dude going out in the dark to watch with the boats!!! No reflectors or a light, CRAZY!!!!!!

Chapel in Point Clear!!

 So pretty, just had to share!!!





Last Sunset in June 2013

Now how pretty is that!!!! What a way to end the day!!!!


We got here about 7, we ate hamburgers and the girls ate french fry's!!! The sun was huge and a ball of red fire!!!



 Just about to say goodbye for this day!!!! We have had a full day and so have the girls!!!
 Our time here is closing in and we both sure will miss it. Fairhope is a wonderful place to visit and live. Everyone is so friendly and when you can go in a Big Lots and have a party at the front of the store just being silly, well its a place for me.
They were way to interested in kids, dogs, birds, people and Lucy petrified of the water behind her to pay attention too me. HELLO!!!!

Our Day at The Beach!!!!!

 It was going to be a nice day of playing in the water and relaxing under an umbrella!!!!
 OK first my major cutie on the beach!!!!  Is she just too cute!!!
 JELLY FISH!!!!!!! 100's were taken out while we watched!!!

They never stopped and they weren't the only ones. The only people for the most part that ever got in the water had buckets or a net!!! And the one that did go in were getting stung and decided to get out!!!

This is the beach one way, see how many are in!!!
 And this is the other way, everyone just standing around watching them being caught.
So if you can't swim and need entertainment , you feed the birds or
 You have some one bury you in the sand or
 Lay there waiting to be next to be buried or
You make sculptures in the sand, This guy made the prettiest  Cross, but I got up to go get a picture and he didn't like the way it looked and was starting over when we were leaving.
Well that was the first part of our day, how was yours???

Shot's Around Our Neck of The Woods!!!

 The Old Train Station in Foley!!


 This was taken at Safe Harbor Seafood!!!!!

 These two are just a couple of the type things at Home Entrances!!! Just love them!!!

Tolstoy Park in Fairhope

 To much for me to type in, google Tolstoy Park and it will tell the story!!!
We had turned off highway 98 going over to the Scenic 98 and I saw this hut that look like it was trying to grow into a office building,I hollered  STOP you got to go back!!!!
There was a couple taking a picture of this thing, I couldn't see a sign and they went down a couple of steps and went in, so HELLO why not!!!

 


 
 Henry Stuart, barefoot as usual, in the 1940's.

 He made every brick in this place. He finished the hut (His home) in 1926.




 It is only one open room 14 feet wide and 14 feet tall. And I thought I lived in a small place. I live in the Hilton, compared to this. But then again his is Hurricane and Tornado proof!!!!
