I am sharing some of my random travel photos, this is not only for my followers but more of a reminder for me and my hubby of where we have been and what we have seen over the years. All good memories for us, I hope you enjoy too.


I am posting more photos from Kauai on Sept 27th, 2022. We drove to the south side of the island, stopping at various beaches and overlooks.

The Salt Pond Beach Park is known for a good snorkeling spot also for birdwatching.  It was not a surprise to see more chicken running around, we also saw a Wandering Tattler, Pacific Golden Plover and numerous Common Myna birds. 


A view of the Salt Pond beach, it was a pretty sky day!


Further up the road, we stopped at the Spouting Horn park and overlook. 


It took a good sized wave to create the spouting horn and to hear the sound of a horn. 



The Bougainvillea was beautiful at the park. 



In the evening after dinner at Monico's in Kapaa, we watched the Rose-ringed Parakeets coming in to roost at sunset.

You can't go to Assateague Island Nat'l Seashore without seeing the wild ponies, they could be on the sand dunes, the beach or on the road.  Drive safe and drive slow.

Dec 12th, 2021
Day one of our Ocean City Maryland getaway. On this trip we stopped at the Blackwater NWR in Cambridge Maryland on the way to Assateague Island and Ocean City Md. We always enjoy a walk on the beach, birdwatching and the ponies at Assateague Island. Below a view from the wildlife drive at Blackwater NWR.




At Blackwater NWR, on their wildlife drive we stopped and watched the winter ducks, Canada and Snow Geese, Great Blue Herons, Bald Eagles  and the Tundra Swans. 




Assateague State Park and Assateague Island Nat'l Seashore and the  wild ponies. 







We also visited the Assateague State Park along with the Assateague Island National Seashore. 






The Assateague ponies were near to top of the sand dunes. 


We made a quick stop at the Ocean City Inlet parking lot, looking for some more birds in the inlet. 




Our sunset view is from the hotel room balcony looking toward the bayside.
