Just a few of our typical days ....
morning coffee on the dock ....
visits to the beach with noisy birds ...
a little kayaking ...
some sand digging ...
a little bird watching ...
and then, there are sunsets ...
and more sunsets ....

The sunsets and birds are just stunning! And the boys building the Sandcastle, the way the light is, everything here is so beautiful.
Breathtaking sunsets, gorgeous beach, beautiful birds, your grandchildren and sandcastles -- sounds like paradise here on earth to me! I'm so happy you're able to enjoy so many lovely things, Reena! And what lovely memories your beautiful photos will bring you during the dull gray of winter! Fantastic! Enjoy!

Would you change sunsets for anything in your life? I think they are the one thing worth photographing. I only wonder why I don't have a similar attraction to sunrises...
Hi Reena, looks like my kind of retreat. I loved the photos, especially the birds. And the sunsets are just stunning. Have a great time and weekend!
*Sigh* Lovely. :)
WOW! Such beautiful photos.
You have truly captured those beautiful moments. I always get that "good feeling" when I visit with you.
I like the 'sea' of gulls!
This looks like a fantastic trip!
Like the yellow footed bird.
Fantastic ~ life is good spending days like that!

Beautiful photos, so glad you are having a wonderful time!
Sounds and looks amazing..
Those sunsets are amazing! Glad you are enjoying your time with family. It is all going to end soon and you will have to go back home.
Beautiful photography - looks like so much fun- wish I was there :). I really like all the birds on the beach.
I can't get over the amount of birds there. Gorgeous pics, wish I was there.
Lucky you - you're in heaven!
YOU ABSOLUTELY NAILED THE SUNSET SHOTS... Totally awesome! How did you get that sunset bird shot?
how can you stand it?! :)
stunning and beautiful, love the dock and kayak and the grand kids
WOW!!!!!!!
So many stunning images!
That last sunset photo took my breath away! All are lovely images though.
They're all wonderful Reena...I especially love the last two.
Hotdog! Having the time of your life - it seems. What could be better than spending time with family and nature? NOTHING! Wishing you continued enjoyment. Cheers reena!!
All gorgeous; such clarity. Especially love the sunset with birds (well, I choose to think of them as birds). Thank you.
Reena, these are just beautiful pictures and the colours are so vibrant.
What amazing amount of birds to share the beach with.
That dock makes me want to just sit down and relax!
That right there is a picture of my ideal day! (Of course I'd substitute grandkids -- or great-grandkids -- that I actually know. (Yours are adorable, but they obviously have wonderful grandparents already ;>)
PS: I had to Google Anna Maria -- even though we spend part (most) of the year in Florida now, I didn't know this place. And now I can't wait to go there!
Beautiful pictures...I don't know how you are able to get yourself to leave that piece of heaven.

it must be rough....i'm dying here!!
I am not sure we both live on the same planet. B-e-a-utiful!
BEAUTIFUL sunsets Reena. One of the joys of photography as a hobby is it's portability, when there's no time or space for any other hobby, you can still take your camera and "play".
gosh the color in your pictures is so crisp...i try to pic a fav and it is near impossible...the yellow reflection in the fist is like gold...the one with the kayak inviting...
Your photos are beautiful without Topaz... but I really need to get this too! Wow, I can so see myself in that first shot and the last orange sunset leaves me speechless.
The sunset shots are stunning ♥
I almost feel as if I am back there looking at these photos:) I love the sunset photos! That is Anna Maria!
Stunning.. Oh I love the Sunset.
Gorgeous.
Amazing clicks...stunning!!
gorgeous sunsets! takes my breath away!
I love the idea of coffee on the dock, that would be a great way to start the day. I love your shot of the birds in the sunset.
A lovely series.
I agree...*sigh*
Where do I get me some of that? ;)
Fabulous! I;m more than a tad jealous. :)
Wondeful photos, all of them! It looks like you are having a real nice time :) Love the sunset with all the birds flying in the foreground!
Lovely! What bird is that with yellow feet?
He has yellow feet!!!! Whoohoo!!!
that is soo funny! The pictures are great and Kickin' back every now and then is sure a good thing to do!
Big hugs

Looks like an absolutely perfect kind of day to me Reena, and your photographs of it are wonderful!
Have a fantastic weekend.
These are incredible! I feel like I just went on a mini vacation.
Awesome work Reena, you eye for the capture is wonderful. The colors are awesome!!!
I'm thinking of a bloggy meetup at your place. Come about February....

Hello,
I visited your blog today - I saw you on 'House of Hawthornes.' Your photos are so pretty, colorful, and full of life! As I was scrolling down, I noticed the Hummingbird post. The Hummingbird holds a special place in my heart. In fact, I did a post about them. Me and my daughters started a new blog, and we would love it if you could visit us and follow. I would really enjoy coming back to visit with you and seeing all your unique and beautiful photos. I hope to hear from you, and have a lovely evening.
