For 5 years, Diane and I covered the county parks and beaches almost every weekend. Due to my health issues this is a thing of the past.
I found a ton of photos in my archives of Photos of  Diane that I took while she was unaware... I have about 200 I think.
She is fearless, standing on edges of cliffs, and busy street corners, wading in mucky water. Always on the hunt for photos.

While out with 3 friends in their kayaks a few days ago, Diane took these photos of this cormorant that stopped to dry his wings on her friends kayak.

Lovely photo's, always fancied a go in a kayak but as the only time I went in a boat I lost the oars I think maybe its best I leave that one.lo
The kids have never forgotten it.

Great photos by you and by Diane. Great shot of the Cormorant on the kayak, I would probably fall in the water with excitement :)

Terrific photos. Both hers and yours.

Diane really gets into it, doesn't she? I really wish you could still go with her. She would brighten up anyone's day! But I know you can not walk like before. Her photos are gorgeous. Nice of her to let you use them so we can see them.

Her photos are awesome!! I think I will visit.

Ginny Hartzler said...

This link brought me to a list of her pictures, but I could not find a blog.

Marie said...

These photos are TERRIFIC!!! I would love to go out and about with the two of you!!

Grandma C said...

Wow great photos by both of you! What fun to have a friend who likes doing the same thing you do.

Cheryl @ TFD said...

Wow! She has some serious equipment there. Great shots of her taking shots, too. I would be too scared to stand that close to the edge of the cliff. It makes me break out in a sweat just looking at her and I know I would just stumble and fall over. Must be this crazy dizzy head of mine. I thought I was gonna fall off a curb the other day. lol! I know you must miss going on photo shoots. Health issues are a bummer, as I
also know. Take care!

Fun photos. I enjoy taking pictures of others as they shoot.

Good grief, isn't that cormorant against the bright orange just a stunning photo!

That is one nice lens she has there. Her photos are beautiful but you have also captured her at work very well too.

Sandra, your friend has some awesome camera equipment..Thanks for sharing these amazing photos! Have a happy Sunday!

Ann said...

Love all the pictures, yours and hers both. That's some camera she's got there.
That would be pretty awesome having that cormorant landing on your kayak.

DawnTreader said...

I love that owl... And excuse me, but how huge is that horse?!??

Debby@Just Breathe said...

Enjoyed looking at her photos! Glad you got to spend 5 years visiting places with her.
