One Last Look Around
These picture were taken on our last day at the beach.
We were priviledged to witness a wedding on our last day there.
It happened on the beach directly in front of our beach house.

I hate to hear this. This is the park where we took photos of
the osprey nests. Hopefully there won't be any loss of wildlife!

Orange Beach Sunrise
Terry snapped these sunrise pictures on our last day at Orange
Beach. Unfortunately our house faced the south, so the sun didn't
rise over the ocean, but these photos are beautiful!
Our beach house is the green one in the middle.
Sunrise dune.
This is my favorite shot that Terry took that morning. Sunrise
through the high rise that was being built near our beach house.
Gorgeous!

Random Beach
The Romar Beach Baptist church on Orange Beach. They were
having a retreat the week we were at the beach. I've never seen
a church right on the beach before, have you?
Dolphin cruise anyone? I went on one in Hilton Head in 1989.
It was a lot of fun. They had glass bottom boat dolphin cruises
in Orange Beach.
This little blackbird landed on the railing of our room at our beach
house while I was taking pictures.
Rain falling over the Gulf.
Palmetto tree and Crepe Myrtle.

I especially love the Pelican on the right :0) Makes me laugh
everytime I look at the picture.
