Colorful Chairs

When I pulled this photo up tonight before posting it, MJ said…”you don’t have colorful Easter eggs for them, but you have colorful chairs in that photo”.  So I’m going with it!! 

 

I took this photo on the east side of Bonaire at a Kite Surfing spot.  The colors and textures caught my eye as we explored the area.  Just looking at this photo, makes we want to go back.  What an amazing country!!  Everything about it is just beautiful.

Bonaire Summer Nights

What a great country!!!  I want to go back right now.  Can I pretty please???  Okay, I know I have adult things to do, so I’ll stop complaining now. 

 I took this photo a little after sunset on the beach in front of our resort.  They started a fire on the beach a few minutes after I took this photos and people sat around it on those bean bag chairs you see in the lower right portion.

Detroit Art

I loved this graffiti spot near the Eastern Market in Detroit.  When I was scanning my photos for something to post tonight, I couldn’t believe this one wasn’t already shared with the world.  I took this photo last March during our Motown Urbex weekend.

Durban Hotel

This is the back patio of the hotel we stayed at in Durban, South Africa.  We had a really short stay here, maybe 12 hours maximum (if that long).  We got to the hotel late in the evening and we left very early the next morning.  I took this photo before we left during a rainy dark morning….  The hotel also had these weird light bulbs in this area giving the patio a rainbow light color pattern.  I didn’t edit the photo to make these colors show up…that’s due to these unique light bulbs….  The hotel had this artsy contemporary design.  I wanted to get some beach photos (you can see it on the far-right side of the photo) but it was dark and raining, so I stayed on the patio.

Seaside Theatre

I hope you’re having a nice and warm Sunday.  It is still freezing in my area, which has me thinking about warmer times/experiences.  Today’s photo is from our European cruise on the Carnival Vista.  Per my normal routine, I got up extremely early to capture this photo without other tourists in the way.  I loved the colors in this part of the ship.

Peru Thread

During our trip to Peru, we got a demonstration on how the local women make thread by hand from Llama and Alpaca.  Honestly, it was very interesting and they make all kinds of cool things with the colorful thread.  After the demonstration, I captured this photo of some thread they completed.

Turkish Grand Bazaar

So….I’m sorry that I’ve been absent lately.  MJ and I were on another badly needed adventure with our good friends (Kris and Scott).  I’ll be the first to admit that I needed that time away and I had a great time.  As far as trips go (for us) it was a very relaxed trip.  Lots of naps, down time, sun, a few beers and just fun (no stress) activities. 

We’ve traveled with Kris and Scott many times and they make it easy.  We all get along, enjoy each other’s company and just go with the flow.  I want to thank them and MJ for the wonderful trip.

Anyway, while we were in St. Thomas, Kris found this awesome store called the Turkish Grand Bazaar.  I loved this place.  The store employees were great.  I think they are all family members, but I don’t know that for sure.  We shared, talked and laughed.    They had so many amazing items in this store, MJ and I could have spent a lot of money in that spot.  I loved all the colors, lights, and cool items.  Tonight’s photo is some of the colorful lamps.  I loved them all.
