Shanghai, China<br /><br />The Huángpǔ River is a 70 mile long river flowing through Shanghai that was first excavated and created by Lord Chunshen, one of the Four Lords of the Warring States. It is the last significant tributary of the Yangtze before it empties into the East China Sea. The Bund and Lujiazui are located along the river. <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/alidasphotos/44755897600/in/datetaken-public/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Jensen Beach Causeway2019©"><img alt="Jensen Beach Causeway2019©" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7895/44755897600_23680e9981_z.jpg" width="500" /> </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My annual tradition, of viewing and recording the new year sunrise, continues.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Starting in the year 2000, I began taking a photo of every New Year's Day sunrise. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember the Y2K panic, when we thought nothing would be the same if the computers couldn't figure out the new numbers? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sounds so ridiculous now, but it was discussed as a real threat back in 1999. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems like yesterday, but that was 19 years ago! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...before smart phones, and Facebook, and well, you get the idea.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I woke up and went down to the water, surprised to see so many other people, and I took a photo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had one of the first digital cameras, a point & shoot, where you saved the photo on a floppy disc in the camera and it was less than 1mp in size.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought it was really neat that so many people were down on the beach, watching the sunrise of the first day of a new year, and decided I would do it every year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, I have friends who wait for my photo. I can't disappoint them or myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, here is the sunrise January 1, 2019. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still alive, the world didn't end, and the sunrise is as beautiful as ever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm very fortunate, I know, and will appreciate the new year as long as I can.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy New Year!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Always an adventure!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One bucket list item is checked off... a ride in a bi-lane.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To think that these planes were used in war time, is just amazing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We flew over the NASA landing field and over cruise ships at the pier.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The one issue of living in Florida is the August/September humidity and heat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've solved the problem. Leave!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year we traveled to France in September to get away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
September is a good month to go because the summer European crowds are lessened.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weather is pleasant in September, although still warm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We traveled to the Brittany Coast with side trips to Normandy and Omaha Beach, and many small towns along the way. We ate oysters in Canales, which are considered one of the best!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were many small adventures, so check out my <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/alidasphotos/" target="_blank">Flickr site</a> for more photos! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is an excellent way to avoid the Florida humidity, and see the world!</div>

For a change of pace, and to get away from the Florida humidity, we took a road trip to Colorado. Great time, great state, and the air is mountain cool!

<div style="text-align: center;">
Missing Fire Island, as the summer approaches. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the time to secure your summer rental. Wait another few weeks and it will be too late!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I won't be renting at Davis Park this year. It's getting more and more expensive, and for good reason.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, for this year, it's time for me and my husband to look elsewhere for some summer adventures. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are planning to travel to other parts of our beautiful country. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps in a year or two we will return to a summer on Fire Island.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No year is the same, nor do we want it to be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Long Island, and Fire Island especially, will always be in my heart, so I know I will return.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's all good! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love being out on the water!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Boating is something I did when I lived on Long Island and it's what I do here in Florida.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only difference is that I can now do this all year round.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The photo above was taken on a sunset sail in Key West, Florida.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Winters in Florida are wonderful, all because of the weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The photo above was taken at sunrise in January.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On this morning, I needed nothing more than a light sweatshirt to keep me warm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Watching the sun rise anywhere is special, but it's so much more pleasant without freezing hands and cold feet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My heart will always be in New York, especially Long Island, but it's nice to get away from the snow, ice and freezing cold. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
First week in October on Lake Wallenpaupack in Pennsylvania.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were hoping for more vibrant autumn colors, but the trees were just beginning to prepare for the winter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cool, early morning walks were very much appreciated especially when the lake produced a misty wonderland! </div>
