We stopped at Old Bahia Bridge, my husband saw this lizard on the edge and I was able to lean over and take pictures.

Alligators
We got very lucky, we took a air boat ride in the everglades and in the natural habitat we spotted several alligators, one lifted its head right next to the boat and me- I kind of jumped a bit… but I was also able to spot this alligator with a baby on on it. Experience to remember. 
A snowy egret
This snowy egret was enjoying the breeze at Naples pier.
Pier of Naples, FL
The city of Naples was lovely, but the pier and beach were great. I like piers like these, they have something appealing that speaks to me.

Sunset at Key West
I’m back from my holiday, totally enjoyed the beautiful weather in Florida. We saw lots and lots of wonderful things, met lovely people and enjoyed time spent with friends. Holiday…already waiting forward to the next one.
Nature, birds, animals, butterflies …I have tons of pictures to go through. I will start with this one of a sunset in Key West – more of this will be coming your way.
Holiday
Hi all,
time for my moment in sun – this years winter vacation is starting tomorrow. See you all in February with new photos. Looking forward to nice restaurant, good food, sea, SUN and warmth. Warm Florida awaits for us.
This photo is from a visit to Capri and has nothing to do with my next destination. I just like the photo 🙂 the feeling in it.

Frost art by Nature
I so enjoyed taking these photos, looking at the windows full of frost flowers, trees, japanese art… and trying to find the small details that appealed to my sense of beauty, capture them. Here is the last set for now

Snowing
I edited the originals a bit and also used cream tones in the other set, for some reason those appeal to me more. We’ve had some snowfall today, winter is back. Unfortunately so are the low temperatures too.

Happy New Year
Happy New year to all my Blog friends. I filmed this fireworks at Kirkkonummi, Finland. Finland is having it’s 100 year birthday this year so even in our small community we started with a nice welcome to 2017! 100 years of Independence is something to celebrate.
The past year has been hard, so I put my faith on the hope that it can only be better this year! Happy New Year, dear friends!
