I’d rather be here . . .

than in Dallas and the ice storm of 2013! After a trip to
Watercolor Beach in October, I think the beach sounds
heavenly about now!

Watercolor’s perfectly planned parks, walkways, streets and water
make it a wonderful place to visit or live. Along the coastal
highway of the Emerald Coast in FLorida, 30A, to be exact, are
beautiful, planned communities from Watercolor, Seaside, Rosemary
and my other favorite, Alys Beach. Everyone has a bike to ride
when you rent a place here, and all the bike and walking paths
just about everywhere along this stretch of beach make for a
wonderful place to vacation or LIVE! I might just be tempted…

Oh Bahamas —How I love Thee…!

I wish I could return to Harbour Island in the Bahamas, but
instead I headed to the Emerald Coast last week with my friend,
Elfriede. Sadly, so did Tropical Storm Karen, so the waters were
not the aquamarine blue I had been dreaming of… but it was
still beautiful just the same! I loved staying at Watercolor Beach

and had fun traveling along 30A taking photos at the beaches along
the way, Seaside, Watercolor, Alys and Rosemary…
