The "A Shot In Time" Story

It was an ordinary day. I had just finished writing another entry into my blog and realized it is almost a year from when I started and I haven't shared too many photos of Carol and me. Well, now is the time to correct that oversight. I went back over all the shots I have on my computer from when I first starting taking photos digitally and found I must have close to 500 shots of the two of us. Many were taken by me while holding the camera at arm's length from the two of us. Some really stupid shots! Many were taken by our friend Sue while on vacation with her and husband Jerry. I figured if I put too many on all at once you'd stop looking and go to something else. So, here are 8 of perhaps my top 50 of the two of us with a brief explanation of what we were doing in the shot.

This photo I took while going what seemed like 100 MPH. Were on what was called a Rhino Boat which was a small raft with a seat in the middle and a huge engine on the rear. Waves were rough and I was hitting all the waves just right to make us fly around in the water. I held the camera with one hand and pointed it behind me to get this photo of Carol and part of my head.
This photo was taken in Jamaica on a warm fall evening after we had finished our evening meal. Just Sue took it while we were relaxing on a neat swing on the grounds of Sandals Resort.
This photo was taken this past October by our waiter at "the beach" Restaurant in Antigua before we celebrated Carol's 29th birthday. Had a great time and all the patrons joined in with the singing of "Happy Birthday."

This photo of Carol and me all decked out was taken by Just Sue on the stairs of the cruise ship as we waited to enter the dining room for the Captain's Dinner.

This is a photo I took of the two of us as we were sitting on a bus in Miami waiting to be transported to our cruise ship for a cruise to the western Caribbean. Carol can hardly wait!

This photo was taken at Shirley Heights in Antigua by Just Sue as we were having a great time making fun of all the tourists and the way they looked and ate their food.

This photo was taken in Barbados by Just Sue. We are celebrating Carol's 29th birthday for the umpteenth time at an Italian Restaurant in St. Lawrence Gap. The ID photo for my blog was taken from this shot. Don't you just love Carol's hair. And....how about mine?

This photo was taken by my grandson, Caden, this past June while on vacation in Ocean City with the family. Carol and I sat for a few photos from everyone and I kept telling her how to sit and smile. She kinda got sick of my instructions and ...........
Shots are some of my favorites because they have meaning that I may not be able to describe to you. I can remember where almost every one of the 500 shots I have of the two of us was taken, and I'll share a few more with you in a later blog. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
