What’s On My Camera Roll?

17 Comments/ 83/ 1

From time to time I like to share what is on my camera roll on my phone.  The recent pictures will give you a glimpse into my life as of late especially if you do not follow me on other social media channels.

Please enjoy.  Some might need some explanations.  “Smile”

We visited Hunting Island State Park east of Beaufort, South Carolina for the second time last week.  This time it was not as foggy as during our first visit and I was able to get a nice lighthouse shot.

The place that we stayed at at Marco Island, Florida was definitely geared towards retirement folks.  We felt pretty young the entire time we were there which was a nice feeling.  The pool attracted a different crowd including this guy with a walker who I suspect was recovering from some type of surgery.  Good for him for staying active.

I snapped a picture of this somewhat alarming and disturbing ad in a catalog to send to my sister with the question “Do you think this really works well?”   What do YOU think?

Snow, snow, snow.  I left Iowa but the snow has followed me to North Carolina.  We didn’t get nearly as much as the last snowfall but still four inches was enough to keep things dicey for a few days.  And no — I did not shovel the entire driveway.  Today I plan to drive to airport to get Chris so hopefully it will have melted off more.

We stayed one night at Jekyll Island in Georgia and this is what the beach was like with temperatures hovering around 28 degrees.  We did meet a lovely couple who were bundled up in parkas and scarves like good Southerners.

Holly decided that she needed to help with the cabinet cleaning and hopped in while I was organizing.  I think she might have been sniffing the cat food in the corner, what do you think?

I thought this cute sign in Hunting Island State Park was worth taking a shot of.   Alligators are stay at home moms apparently.

Finally, a rainbow. Because who ever gets tired of rainbows?

Have a great weekend, my friends, and leave me a comment telling me which picture you liked the most today. Do you have anything fun on YOUR camera roll?   All comments go to support our January Comments for a Cause.

    My favourite is the lighthouse. What a great shot you got this time. I have one with Dot sleeping with her toys and another of the beautiful sunny day we had after a day of rain. (no snow pictures though) Have a great weekend.

    Good morning! Well, you probably know my favorite pic is of your Holly, checking out her food stash! But the lighthouse pic is beautiful, as is the rainbow. As for the “smile veneer” ad…it reminds me of those fake fangs you can get at Halloween!
    Have a great weekend; safe travels going to pick up your hubby from the airport.

      You are exactly right about those Halloween vampire teeth! I had not thought of those until you wrote it. I just could not stop laughing when I saw them. Hope you have a great weekend as well!

    Love this post! Sharing a glimpse oh your photo roll is a fun way to remember but also to share what you’ve been up to! Wish there was a pic of you and I in that camera roll!

      We need to make that happen. I am considering a trip to Iowa in May for that blogging conference but haven’t committed to that for sure yet. Miss you!

    You are on a roll! Well for me, the teeth were the best. Honorable mention to stay at home mom and the comment about the good southeners with their parkas! We went to Marco a few years ago- ok but not our favorite place

      The teeth were shocking, right? And I agree about Marco. It was okay but not my perfect place. I think we are leaning more toward the Lowcountry beaches.

    I think Holly is adorable (whether she was thinking about food or exploring or both).

    The snow pic is my favorite only because I can smugly report that we don’t even have this much snow in southern Minnesota. 🙂

      It will be all gone by tomorrow I think. I didn’t bother shoveling all the driveway—it is way too long and steep to do if I don’t have to get out and the mail lady is really good about leaving any packages at the top in garbage bags if we aren’t cleared out. 🙂

    Nice shots! Hope you enjoyed your time in Florida and are tucked in nice and warm back home! The kids and I can’t believe the snowy pictures from NC. Ally wants to see snow so bad and keeps begging us to take her to NC. 🙂

    Love this post and what a great idea to share what’s on your camera roll. Also, side note, that denture thing doesn’t work apparently. There was a lady on Snapchat who shared her experience and it was hilarious. The teeth kept slipping out of her mouth while she was talking. Too funny.

    Oh, one more Q, what plugin do you use for your related posts. That’s lovely!

    I thought that lighthouse was from up here on Lake Erie. There’s one here with a white picket fence that reminds me of this one. And your kitty is beautiful!
