Aren’t these flowers so cool? Not a lot of color which kind of makes them unique. Who knows what these are called? I don’t know if this is how they always look or if this is toward the end of their lives? I just know that I find these flowers fascinating. The subtle purple hue is too cool! Monhegan flowers – they’re stunning!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Fall skies are so amazing to me. Just look at these clouds with the light filtering through. Out walking when I snapped this photo. The sky was FULL of these stunning clouds. Take time to look up and enjoy the beautiful view!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
The flowers at the Island Inn (Monhegan, Maine) were stunning this year! These flowers in the dining room caught my eye and I had to sneak over and snap a photo.
Flowers add so much and these were beauties! Enjoy your Saturday – and remember to change the clock tonight before you go to bed!
Set your clock back one hour (for those of you who observe Daylight Savings Time) – woohoo, this is the time of year where we GAIN an hour of sleep.
🔋 This is also the time to change the batteries in your Smoke Detectors/Carbon Monoxide Detectors – if you change them now you won’t have to worry about being woken in the middle of the night with it chirping AND you’ll be sure you are safer.
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Ahhh, Monhegan! It seems as if I start most of my Monhegan posts that way. This is the building that you first see on the wharf. On the side of this building are all the notices about what’s happening, studios that are open, restaurant info, etc. Like a newspaper, it’s all there. If you ever get a chance to visit, even if only for the day, I highly suggest! It’s less than a one hour ride via Monhegan Boat Lines, which is the way we always come (Port Clyde, ME).
Happy Sunday!
Have a great day and I’ll catch you back here tomorrow!
Talk about ethereal! This scene, the feeling while being there, and that fantastic light in the midst of the fog were all captured in this photo. This is the scene as we were leaving Port Clyde, Maine (in the distance), headed to Monhegan. Always a good time, the fog made it extra special this time!
Happy weekend – catch you back here tomorrow!
I love snapping photos when the water is like glass, where the reflections are sharp and dramatic. It’s especially cool with fog hovering in the air. This year we had the foggiest trip to the island (Monhegan), thankfully the seas weren’t rough in the fog. I have heard stories…
The return trip was a bit rough, but at least you could see the coastline. The ability to see land and have my Sea Bands on did the trick, thank goodness!
This is Fred. Fred squinting in the bright sunshine waiting for me to take a photo, then the HURRY UP look, the I HAVE TO CLOSE MY EYES LOOK (put your sunglasses on Fred!) and the ahhhh, the sunglasses feel good look!
This is an older photo, I love his sunglasses now, he looks like a movie star – gotta try to get that shot! This photo was taken on Monhegan Island (Maine) – wish we were there now…
IT’S FRIDAY! Get out and enjoy!

Loopsi Doodle – I learned the word from a friend, Carol Bass – a fabulous artist and person. I had posted one of my doodles on social media and she said it’s a Loopsy Doodle. I love that name! I have many of these, usually done while on the phone or mindlessly chatting.
Often times I start with the pen down and don’t lift it until I’m done. I see a break in this one, do you spot it? These are so fun, try it next time you’re on the phone!
Is there anything better than a sunset? Truly, we have to stop making dinner reservations during this time! I think next year we will eat pizza and take photos of the sunset! Ha ha… I run outside and snap a few as quick as I can. It’s difficult to stop, the light and colors change so quickly, illuminating yet another area in a more dramatic way then the first however many photos! I love this one with the cottage light on – adds so much charm.
This is Monhegan. Beautiful, charming and peaceful…
Catch you back here tomorrow!
I love how these lobster traps are stacked near the brewery on Monhegan. I realize they’re there for a reason and not just to look good, but… they form a wall of the coolest kind.
Monhegan, and even Maine in general is a lot like that. Items used for form and function and not necessarily to “look good”, but they do!
Clearly this is not a photo of me. It’s Charlie, our JRT. He’s out of sorts here, normally his entire body is on his bed. Funny beast. We all have our days I suppose.
In an effort to type the minimal amount this week (hand not happy), I will be posting images this week – back to normal next week, I hope!
Enjoy your week and I’ll catch you back here tomorrow!
I love these wild palms that pop up in Charleston. They usually pop up where you don’t want them (front yard, butted up to a walkway), but on occasion they pop in the right place. This palm provides great shade as well. As it grows you have to cut the branches so that you can walk underneath it (near a walkway). The price is right, haha…
St. Michael’s Church steeple is pretty remarkable, isn’t it? Definitely an icon in our beautiful city. The well cared for palms line the street and the flag flies proudly. This is Charleston, SC!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
The day before Irma visited Charleston we went out and snapped some photos. The clouds were wild and tumultuous – the tide was high and it was wildly windy. Still there was a sliver of sunlight on the water as a bird elegantly flew across the image.
Enjoy your Sunday!
Photos this week – Have a great day and I’ll catch you back here tomorrow!
I took this photo several years ago when my sister, mom and I had a long weekend on Mackinac Island. What a treasure! We had such an amazing time. We ate, walked, biked and had so much fun at night talking and up early and out on the porch with a coffee in hand.
I have a cool mom. She has such a great attitude on life.
Happy Birthday Mom! We wish you the healthiest and happiest birthday ever! You are too cool! xo, us
