As usual,I enjoy visiting your blog.I love seeing the different ships,since that is one thing I can't see on the prairies.Thanks for all your kind comments on my posts,each one is much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteGoogle Street view is so great :) Thanks for sharing the beautiful lily!
ReplyDeleteYou do have a great lookout.
ReplyDeleteLove the Twinkle Island! What a great name!
ReplyDeleteenjoyed all the photos...did you see the movie, SOMEWHERE IN TIME with Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymore ? This stately olden hotel reminds me of that movie...the hotel doesn't look the same but just that back in time, hotels were so much more classy than MOTELS...:)
ReplyDeletei love the flag one most of all.
ReplyDeleteThe old postcards easily bring out the sounds, feel and imagination of the old hotels.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting to see the difference 75 years has made in that same spot. And as always I enjoy your catalog of the ships you've seen. :-)
ReplyDeleteHello, the post card from Miami is pretty. Great captures of the ships, what an awesome view. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot of the American flag! Also neat to see what that spot in Miami looked like then and looks like now. I think it is beautiful in both eras! Love the palm trees. I also enjoyed your photos of the boats, particularly the three boats in a row! I've finally responded to your very interesting comments on my blog--sorry for the delay. And thanks as always for being so thoughtful. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI really like to see the old postcards...how neat that the building is still there after all these years. Thanks for sharing. I hope you have a super day!
ReplyDeleteJohn, not sure what happened to my comment. Must have been an error in my connection.
ReplyDeleteI was saying how I love the colors of the Otis Hotel in the card. It's really festive looking.
And that lily is so pretty.
Hope all is well with you.
There is so much beauty and simplicty in our world. Not to mention ships and skies and people working and living. It is hard to reconcile it with the other things happening in the world.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments on my blog, John! It means alot.
Blessings,
Sandi
