Sunset at Scarborough Beach
Something happened on our way to the beach. We went to another beach. Scarborough Beach (You’re spoiled for choice here in Western Australia)

Anniversary: Castle Rock
The last visit we made on our wedding anniversary was a visit, or should I say, re-visit to Castle Rock beach. We first went to Castle Rock with Laura in 2010, and because she loved it so much there, it quickly became a favorite place of mine. We thought about...
Sculptures by the Sea 2016
This was going to be my first Sculptures by the Sea. I don’t know why we hadn’t gone any of the summers I had been here before. This year, we went twice. (Something that just seems to happen, that we have to go to the same event twice). Given that...
Good-bye Siesta Park
No one wants to leave a holiday. Our time had come though, and we weren’t going straight home, so, even though we were leaving Siesta Park, we still had a day’s adventures ahead of us. I have a feeling, we will be back.
Castlerock 2014
Castlerock. We came here with Laura in 2010, and her enthusiasm for climbing over the rocks gave the place an automatic charm for me. It was later the chosen place for our wedding. So since we were staying so close, it was an absolute must on my list of thing...
Siesta Park, Third Time a Charm
We went to Siesta Park my first visit ever to Australia, we went when we got married, and this was our third time there together. 5:00 A.M. Time to get up as you never know, Siesta Park is situated to often get lovely sunrises.
Lookout and Sunset
After our walk around Lightning Swamp, instead of going home as planned, John decided we had time to get to the beach for what might be a good sunset. As we got close to the beach, we were a little early, so John looked for a lookout which gave us...
Elephant Seal
When I am in Australia, I do expect to see some wonderful and different animals…but not one from Antarctica. I saw it first in Facebook, then on the newspapers, that an elephant seal was found resting at Sorrento Beach.
We Still Do Sunsets
Things you remember as a child… My mom turned on the movie Born Free one evening, she made a big deal out of it, and I was instantly in love with lions and of all things, the Indian Ocean. There was one part of the movie where the lion cubs...
A Walk on the Beach
We like to walk. So why not a walk along the beach? It’s been perfect weather, and it was a great evening for a stroll. I really enjoyed that walk on the beach. What a way to end the day.
Shout for Joy Sunset
We went off to look at what looked like it could be a nice sunset. To the beach in a hurry and we barely arrived in time. It was a lovely sunset and as we were walking towards it, we looked back to the houses that were perched there and...
Birthday Sunset
Any day that looks like it might have an interesting sky for sunset, we usually head out to the beach. It was a nice way to wind down John’s birthday.
Ocean City with Alejandra
It was a beautiful, hot, sunny day to go to Ocean City…the skies were blue, perfect day to escape to the Beach. Laura had wisely asked Alejandra which places did she want to see most. It’s a good thing to know since sometime you can’t fit all the places you...
Alejandra Meets the Chesapeake
Yesterday during our walk, Alejandra noticed how many people owned boats. I explained to her how much water surrounded us in this part of Maryland. This morning after showing her a map of our rivers, the Bay, and how it all leads to the Ocean, we decided on this hot...
Mailboxes and Squirrels
So as long as I can remember, a favorite thing to do with a new friend was to take a walk to the beach. Yesterday, after a day of shopping at Arundel Mills Mall (which Alejandra LOVED by the way), we decided we hadn’t done enough walking and took the...
Wedding at Castle Rock Slide Show
I’ve been sick, but it’s been a great time to prepare a slide show of our wedding. 🙂
North Beach
Ever fill out those surveys that ask mountains or beach when asking your vacation preference? I guess I always select mountains, but something about the sunsets of Western Australia that lures me to the beach. After our long day at the zoo, we went to North Beach to watch the...
Yallingup Means Place of Love
While in Australia, we stopped by Yallingup Beach. It was breath-taking. I finally put a few photos of this wonderful place >> HERE Yallingup is a coastal township positioned on a hill overlooking the stunning Yallingup Beach. The coastline here is dramatic, as jagged rocks and high cliff faces are...
Prevelly Margaret River
After the tree climb, John was determined to get me a sunset at the coast. We decided on the Beach in Margaret River, Prevelly. Prevelly is situated at the Rivermouth of the Margaret River and close to the beach side area of Gnarabup. Unfortunately the road he chose to get...
Siesta Park Sunrise
After our long day the day before, getting out of bed early before the sun should have been difficult, but I didn’t want to miss one minute of the beauty that makes up Siesta Park. Here are two of the images showing the greeting the sky gave us.
Lunch at Dunsborough
Even though we planned to go the Cape to Cape drive from the lighthouse to lighthouse, we deviated from that plan as Laura was hungry. So, we backtracked back in the direction we came from and went to the beach town of Dunsborough for lunch. We settled on a cafe,...
Bunker Bay
After our rock climbing and wildflower finding adventure at Castle Rock, we went a few minutes down the road to Bunker Bay. Long before we arrived in Australia, I mentioned to John that I’d love to see beaches with rocks, which is kind of unfamiliar to me in Maryland. Castle...
Storms and a Hurricane
Hurricane Bill In spite of the storms that have hit Maryland and a hurricane off the coast, we have had great weather so far. Today it became obvious that the two fronts, the storms and the hurricane, are soon to descend on us. The sky looking to the east. Storm...
A Day at the Beach
Today was our first full day at Ocean City. After watching the sunrise, we went out for breakfast. As it turns out, my favorite place in the world (The Dough Roller) to eat breakfast, Donna likes too! And now Laura is a convert too! The pancakes are simply the BEST....
