The lighthouse and abandoned historical buildings are just a few places to see on Bonaire.

As we enter the water, I wait for my husband.
Is this how we look to the fish?

Lac Bay, Bonaire
Great fun watching the windsurfers in Lac Bay. The area is on the windy side of the island, but the water is protected by the reef. So they have the wind but no waves.
Still no Photoshop, not until I get home. This is from the Canon G9 in its underwater housing.

spotted eagle ray
In the shallows of Bonaire. I love how the rays seem to just appear from the sandy bottom. They "fly" like birds, so graceful and free.

Bonaire Flamingo
Bonaire is warm and sunny and best of all, the nature and wildlife is spectacular.
The best sights are underwater and those photos will be posted in a few days.
This photo was posted straight from the camera since I do not have Photoshop on this new little laptop.
The flamingo is a common site on Bonaire and there is even a flamingo sanctuary.
Hope you all are having nice weather on Long Island too!

Flying to warmer weather

Yes, it's that time of year again. I just have to get away to some warmer weather!
my favorite scuba-diving location.
Stay tuned for Bonaire photos!

You can see my previous photos in a slideshow here. Just click!

I'm not taking a lot of camera equipment this time due to all the airline weight restrictions,
so my photos will have to be more "creative" and less technical.
Hope you enjoy Long Island while I'm gone!
You can still keep in touch by email and comments!

Ancestry Hair
This is my mother-in-laws father, Willard Moore Scott born 1898 in Delaware.
Willard may be about 5 or 6 in this photo. He still had long curls which was the style at that time. A recent visit to my in-laws, discussing the family history, produced this out of the attic.

Last day in 2009
Snow on the last day in 2009.
Just north of the bridge in Sayville, the water's surface is beginning to freeze and a light snow covered the branches.

Snow on its way!
Does the media make too much of the snow? Sometimes I think they do. I haven't seen a snowflake yet today, but I'm sure it's on its way.
The question is,"How terrible, (or windy, or deep) will this snowstorm be?"
Stay tuned.........

The rush is on...
Seasons Greetings!, originally uploaded by Alida's Photos.
It's a cold and windy day here on Long Island, but the rush is on to complete the holiday shopping. I have a few more things to buy, but most of the gifts, I bought on the internet.
