ABC WEDNESDAY ~U~

Thanks to the ABC Team: Denise, Roger, Barb, Jay, Gattina, Sylvia, and Troy for providing this Meme.
YES, it is that time again for ABC WEDNESDAY.

Today's letter is U. My word for today is ... UNDERWATER.

First, let me say, of all my family members (5 of us), I am the one that is most unlikely to be in water.

#1. I don't like water in my face. (I am sure this is due to some undeniably, horrific experience that I had as a child ... even if I can no longer remember it.)

#2. I am NOT a strong swimmer. So, if you are with me in the water, don't look to me to save you if something should happen. It's all I can do to save myself.

With that being said ... If you have looked at my blog or any of my ABC Wednesday post, you know that for our 30th Anniversary, my husband and I went on a cruise. It was an unforgettable experience!
It was also the only cruise that "we" will ever take. Where we went was up to me. I chose a cruise, with hundreds of people on board. His choice would be some uncrowded place where he could nap the days away (and yes, he did do some of that.) All our excursions were geared towards him. All excursions included water.

Knowing I would be in the water and wanting to document this unique experience was one of my goals.
I researched and then bought a little Pentax Optio W60, point and shoot waterproof Camera.

At first I was uneasy about the whole thing, after all, I had to be underwater. Taking pictures in the ocean is a great undertaking, the fish are moving, you are moving, and the water is moving.

As you can see, the fish seem unconcerned, even unaware of people in the water.

This truly was an ULTIMATE vacation.

ABC WEDNESDAY ~T~

Time again for ABC WEDNESDAY. Today's letter is T.

The month of June begins our 7th year of living in this house. We live between a city and a town in an unincorporated area. I enjoy the country setting, the corn field at the end of the road and all the wild life that travels through our yard. I have no idea where they are coming from or where they are going, but most animals travel through twice a day. In the morning. they are headed one way and in the evening they are coming back through the other way.

We have seen these animals every year, but this is the first year that we have seen the great display that they put on during mating season.

My T... is for... TURKEYS

This is Tom. He is coming out of the woods.









His friends continue through the woods.

Tom is heading to the neighbor's yard.

This looks like a good place.

Do you think she noticed?

Doesn't look like it. Tom heads back to find his friends.

But look ... who's following behind.

ABC WEDNESDAY is hosted by Mrs. Denise Nesbitt and her Team.
