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!

A Sparkly Bloom

The other day we were out on a walk, and as always I am looking for something interesting… POOF! I almost walked into a tree full of these blooms. How incredible is this? Who knows what kind of tree this is? It was full of these blooms. So pretty, and up close… WOW! It almost looks like something that lives in the sea.

Keep your eyes out for the little things in life – they are the BIG things!

Happy day! Catch you back here tomorrow!

Waves – Port Clyde, Maine

View from cottage in Port Clyde

Years ago we rented a cottage in Port Clyde, Maine. It was located right on the ocean – to fall asleep hearing the crashing sounds of the ocean was heavenly. Every night we had wonderful fires (magnificent stone fireplace). It was hard to leave that place! The ocean, large waves, tides and surges are all such a miracle, aren’t they?

Blessed!

The view from the Monhegan wharf looking towards Manana Island. I remember this photo… the sun was warm, the air was perfect – it smelled… FRESH! At times it can be so quiet (when there isn’t a boat coming in/going out). My soul needs this place, even if just for a short time. How about yours? Where is your special location to visit?

A WOW Sky

fullsizeoutput_2326

The color of this sky was surreal! The deep blue against the terra cotta roof and the light colored chimney. The contrast caught my attention. When we’re downtown walking I keep trying to sneak in photos and keep up the pace. It’s not easy, but some things I just cannot pass by without taking a photo!

Do you see what I see?

fullsizeoutput_2325

We were walking downtown and Fred spotted this cat. Did you notice it high atop the shrubs? I walked right past it, of course it was taller than me, so that’s probably why I didn’t see it. What a life this cat has! It seems to be a people watcher, ha ha…

Contemplation – Monhegan

Oh! To be this bird, perched on this fabulous rock, soaking up the sunshine. I love the sound of the birds in the morning when we visit Monhegan. It’s fabulous how the sun sparkles on the water.

Over the Moon

Michigan Moon Over River

Be still my heart. Look at that moon! The subtle glow reflected in the pinkish water. I tell you, when I’m in Michigan I’m constantly running outside to snap photos of basically the same location. The ways in which this one view changes makes me so happy. It goes from sun, to wicked dark & stormy skies, to pop your eyes out sunrises and sunsets and now this… moon glow!

I’m over the moon with this moon shot 😉

Geranium in the Spotlight

On way out the door the light on the geranium caught my eye. Truly a geranium in the spotlight! I grabbed my phone and snapped a photo and off we went. Later I saw that the background was black. Cool! It really makes the geranium stand out!

Whew, time flies… can you believe it’s already the second week in June? That’s crazy! I hope you find some time to enjoy your summer!

A Michigan Sunset…

I am crazy about a sunrise or sunset. This is a Michigan sunset, near my parents house. They have such wonderful skies. Seems like it’s so dramatic a good bit of the time.

Enjoy your Saturday, take time to soak in the beautiful views wherever you may be!
