Diane is the culprit that took all these photos of me. you all know I do not like being in front of the camera. She and I both delight in snapping shots of each other. Above we were in Emerson Preserve, below we were at the Ringling Museum. I can't remember who took this photo.

These photos were taken at the beaches that were in my beach post this week. Above is Coquina Beach and note I HAD to stand on that dock because the sign says WARNING, KEEP OFF

These are NOT photo shopped, that silly bird sat right there on the gazebo and let me walk up and pose with him. I was happy he did not poke me with that long beak.
And NO, I am NOT full of myself and posting my own photo's, This is just to prove I DID take those beach photos. Actually, I just saw these and wanted to.... Sorry Diane.....

Great pictures :-) the beach looks lovely and the bird..wow! Great that he just let you pose with him.
Have a great Saturday!

That is amazing that the bird just stood there and posed. The beach is so beautiful. I really like that large piece of driftwood you are standing on. Are those shells hanging on it?
Looks like a wonderful adventure and that you both are having a wonderful time.
What a fun time! I love beaches.
Brave girl! :) I especially love the photo with the sign and the one below in the tree. I could do with losing 27 pounds myself - congratulations to you for doing it!
Excellent pictures. I know,I too do not like being in front of the camera,but Ido like seeing what my fellow bloggers look like in natural situations.
You look like you were having loads of fun.
love those photos of you Sandra...what a beautiful setting...I bet yall had lots of fun...
Are you kidding?? That was a live bird?! Wow, he really wanted to speak personally to you, didn't he. lol. Fun photos, and my favorite is the one with you standing next to the warning sign. :-D
Looks like a good time was had by all. I don't like my picture taken either, but you look great!
WELLLL, it's about time!!! Pics of the pic-taker!!!
I totally understand always being behind-the-camera. But once in a while, we do have to "put on our big girl panties" and post a pic of US.
I have! Honest I have. :-)
But if you don't remember when, I'm not gonna' tell you either. -gigggles-
And you are now 27 pounds lighter than then! Lucky you! I've been trying, and *nursing* about a 4-5 pound loss, for too long. -moan- -sigh- -Blast!- -piffffle- :-))))

Looks like a great time with your friend and it was wonderful to see you front of the camera!! Sometimes when I look back at photos I wonder if I was really there as there is no evidence of me being there:)
Got a new show you and hubby might like-- Duck Dynasty, it's on A&E. It is a HOOT!!
Ms. Sandra Mom and I think you look lovely and lean and we love the last pic with the beach grass...oh that is so pretty.
Happy Memorial Weekend
Hugs Madi and Mom
i do love the ones w/ you and that egret! yikes! scary close! and i like seeing real folks - not photoshopped, perfect skin or fancy hair and make-up. just you. :)
You look great, Sandra! Love the beach!!! Pictures are wonderful! It is good to see you and your friend having fun. Sometimes a bird will do the strangest things. Have a good Saturday!

You look lovely...and I too never seem to be in the photos-they are all of my husband and son, dog and cat...he who controls the camera gets no photos...and doesn't have to worry about how one looks :) That's why I hold the camera :)
I love these pictures, especially the first two, you look so beautiful and happy, joy is radiating from you. And why not with beaches like this around there? You have GOT to be kidding about this bird!!!!! How COULD you? As much as I love birds, I would not have gotten that close, you are beak to beak and he could have pecked you. I have been attackd by birds much smaller. Why weren't you running and screaming?
Lots of fun!
wow, looks like fun!
i do love all of these shots, especially of you and that egret!!
you just look great, sandra!
thanks for this cheerful post, it did put a smile on my face.
wish you a great saturday!
It's nice to see you on the other side of the camera for a change!
I hope you're having a great weekend.
It looks like the two of you have a blast together! I love all these pics! You look one happy snapper at the beach! Is that bird real that's next to you?? Wow!
Great photos and looks like a great time! How nice of the bird to pose so nicely with you! Thanks for sharing.
Sandra, thanks to Diane we get to see you and I never doubted that you had taken those beach scenes!
Love that shot of you in the dunes!
You can tell from the happy face that you are in your element. Love all the shots. Pretty awesome with that bird. I can't believe it just sat there and posed with you
I'm guessing here, but you must love the beach! :)
I enjoyed each photo and it's been a long time since I've been to the beach! Such pretty pics.
At first I didn't think that was a real bird. I love seeing the pictures of you. You look so tan. I bet you are. Love the beaches.
I hope you have a good Memorial weekend!
Sandie♥
I didn't think it was a real bird at first! lol Then you said it was and I looked again and lo and behold it was a real bird! lol That is incredible to get a picture of yourself with it that close to you! Cool! I will have to say that that sign confused me with it having other languages on it.
That's funny about the bird! Yes, I know about standing behind the camera as well. And sometimes, I think it's good that we get in front of it.
You look wonderful friend!

I love seeing these pictures of you. I feel like I know you and its fun to see who I have been talking to for so long.
Congratulations on loosing all that weight. Bravo.
Glad that big bird was nonviolent. And I think your comment on your appearance in the photos was a bit critical of yourself. What I see in this collection? Vibrant, active, adventuresome.
You are very photogenic! Not old & not fat. Not then and not now. :) I'm glad that bird didn't grab a lip. LOL. You always have such a lovely smile and look so happy. Thanks for sharing! :)
