The End Was Near

Can you imagine? One minute the sky is beautiful and then out of the corner of your eye you spot a dark cloud that morphs into most of the sky filled with this powerful dark cloud moving towards us. I was in Michigan visiting my family, we were all taking photos of it approaching (we all love weather) – after this passed the warm air cooled considerably. This was so dramatic! Was the end really near? Absolutely not – I’m not a storm chaser, just a lover of weather, I’m quite fascinated by it, always have been, especially when what you see is so striking! A cold front? I believe so, it was quite chilly afterwards!

Stunning Sky Over Marsh – Michigan

Marsh View in Michigan
Yay iPhone! This camera can take some bedazzling photos if I do say so myself! I get many comments on photos which I really appreciate, but truly, it’s not me… I mean just LOOK at this sky! All I did was push a button! These clouds go on forever and ever and are brightly reflected in the water. Vibrant green grass against a stunning blue sky. Wow.
Catch you back here tomorrow!

View from Port Clyde, Maine

Such a crisp scene. Not crisp as in cold, but the striking darkness of the horizon against that gorgeous sunset. Love those few stray clouds drifting by. So serene. This photo was taken in Port Clyde, Maine a few years ago…

The Barnacle – Monhegan, Maine

Ah! The Barnacle – love this place. Great food, cool gifts, nice wine and bakery goods. The Barnacle is a part of the Island Inn and it’s a treasure. It’s located right near the Monhegan wharf. We have met some really interesting people inside including one woman who demanded that we play some game with her that lasted hours and we kept trying to get away, but then found out she was killing time because she didn’t want to “do Monhegan”, she wanted to go back to her condo in Camden, sigh… #dontknowwhatyouremissing #notv #nophone #nostress #thatgamewasstressful

Oh What A Tangled Web We Weave

SORRY to those of you who don’t deal well with the creepy crawly things – I can certainly relate!

Oh the memories… I had a realistic size black plastic spider 🕷 when I was a kid. On occasion I would leave it somewhere to surprise my family (sorry about that) – I would hear a SHREEEEEK – AH! They found it, hee hee. Undoubtedly I would forget about it and go about my business and when I least expected it, there it was  🕷 😳 A shreeeeeek would erupt from deep within, heart palpitations ensued. Ah, they got me back! There were long lapses in between spider hidings – I think I had to let the memory wear off, ha ha… Hmmm, wonder where that spider is?

You’ll hear me if I find it!

Reflections: Tenants Harbor, Maine

Tenants Harbor, Maine

Just look at this water – it’s like glass, which really made the reflections stand out even more. I took this photo several years ago – I remember walking around Tenants Harbor, near the East Wind Inn. We had dinner reservations and arrived early, so I was able to get some amazing photos before dinner. Woohoo!

Enjoy your Saturday and I’ll catch you back here tomorrow!

Stunning Sunset at Crosby’s Seafood – Charleston, SC!

Beautiful right? I waited for those birds to glide into this photo, and they made it amazing! That and the rays from the sun. This was taken at Crosby’s Seafood (Folly Road) – Charleston, SC several years ago. Check out their Facebook page – gorgeous photos!

Monhegan (Maine) Sky!

Pretty cool clouds, hmmm?  I love a sky full of cool clouds. These had wonderful movement and the scene changed quickly. Are you a sky gazer? Do you love looking up to the sky and taking it all in? It’s so relaxing!

Rockland, Maine – Looks like a painting!

Rockland, Maine. This is another throwback photo from the archives. I love the lights on the buildings, the pinkness of the sky and the overall coolness of this very spot. Lots of good art, food & people right here in Rockland. Have you been? If not, it’s  a place to add to your bucket list if you have one!

The building with the cool white awnings is the Farnsworth Museum – READ about it if you aren’t familiar. You will want to get there and check it out – and DO NOT miss the gift shop! I can spend a day perusing!

Beautiful lines…

This is a photo from the archives…  – wow is it a beauty! The lines of this boat are stunning, sleek & downright classy. I took this photo while in Maine, back in 2010 – how time flies!

Happy 4th of July!

I always keep my eye out for cool flag photos for the various holidays that call for them. Today is the 4th of July (as if you didn’t know!) – Enjoy your time off (if you have it)! Happy 4th! 

I am happy to be firework free, for both the dogs who have such a hard time as well as the veterans hearing what sounds like bombing. I can only imagine the nightmare that July 4th brings. We are fortunate that Charlie wants to attack the fireworks/lightening/any loud noise…

If you have a dog who is scared of fireworks, have you tried a Thundershirt? Or this unique way to achieve similar results using a scarf or ACE bandage. Maybe some background soft calming music (Pandora Ocean Sounds) or music from RELAX MY DOG– A lot of dogs are so frightened and if left in a yard will find a way out so that they can run. So many dogs are lost on the 4th of July. Ugh…

Be conscious of other people’s feelings regarding fireworks. They can be fun for some and a nightmare for others…

Water Lily – Charleston

I snapped this photo with my phone while at Hyams Garden Center. Oh, what a treat this place is! Love the sky reflected in the water! These lilies are absolute perfection!

Palm Shadows!

Bright blue sky, a wonderful historic home and a tall palm leaving graceful shadows. To me, a shadow is sometimes as interesting as the subject giving off the shadow. Especially on sidewalks and entryways – there are intricate gates that give off stunning shadows. Be on the lookout! 👀

Wishing you a happy Saturday!
