Thanks so much for sharing! Great pictures. We were at OKW for the first time last month, and this was a wonderful reminder.

Your shots from the balcony of 17 reminds me of the great sunsets we had when we stayed in building 19!!

We were sitting in the living room one day when my husband looked out & saw her sitting on the balcony. It was so funny to see her there. I know ducks fly, but in all the years we've stayed at OKW on the 2nd floor, this was the first time one of them decided to come up & visit. I felt so sorry for that duck. The other ducks were constantly chasing her either on the ground, or in the air.

Something I don't have pictures of is a group of bunnies that seemed to be playing hide and seek one afternoon. There were 5 or 6 rabbits chasing each other into the bushes. Every once in awhile a duck would join in. And people say OKW is boring.

This was the first time I've tried taking pictures of fireworks with a digital camera. I used the camera's night mode for them and for some of the night shots I took at Boardwalk & from our room at OKW. Since I didn't have a tripod, I set the camera on the railing at Boardwalk and held it with one hand. I had the strap around my wrist just in case; didn't want it falling in the water! Then I just started shooting with the hopes that a few would come out. That's what's so great about a digital camera. If the pictures don't come out, you just delete & try again. I have a couple more that are pretty good, but I didn't put them on the web. I also have 175 other pictures I didn't post. Didn't want to bore everyone to death.

I agree, great pictures! We arrive at OKW July 7. I can't wait! By the way, what kind of digital camera do you have? I am thinking about getting one. Thanks!

FrozenPiglet....LOL, love the name!

I have a Fuji Finepix 4700. It's discontinued, but still available for a great price at places that still have it. I've had the camera for about 1 1/2 years and I love it. Fuji has come out with 'new & improved' models, but I honestly don't seem much of an improvement in comparing those new cameras to mine. The one thing I love about mine is it uses AA batteries. A lot of the newer cameras use a proprietary battery which cost a lot and aren't readily available. I use NIMH rechargeables which are available most everywhere for a very reasonable cost. I know a lot of people have their digital pictures printed commercially, but one of the reasons I bought a digital camera was so I could print my own. Any questions about digital cameras you have, I'd be happy to answer; send me an IM.
