Monhegan Photo – The Lupine Gallery in Fog

Lupine Gallery, Monhegan, Maine

The Lupine Gallery swaddled in fog. Heavenly, isn’t it? The Lupine Gallery is one of our favorite places to visit on Monhegan island. We visit (at least) daily. They have the most wonderful art work, from fabulous artists. The upstairs of this building is so amazing, you won’t ever want to leave!

While the gallery isn’t open year around, they do have a fabulous website! If you’re in Maine and happen to visit Monhegan, don’t miss this gallery!

The little things…

Fresh, ripe, wonderful tomatoes really should not be classified as a “little thing”. The fresh taste is big, Big, BIG! It makes every recipe you make even more wonderful than it normally is.

Always be on the lookout for the little things in life – they create an abundance of happiness!

Hydrangeas that glow!

Hydrangea and Daylily

We’ve got quite a few hydrangeas and I swear they glow in certain light. It’s amazing. I love how this (very old) daylily popped up next to the hydrangea. The color combination (hard to tell here) was stunning!

Do you have hydrangeas? What color do you prefer? Do you add anything to your soil to try to get the color to change? Ours are this purply blue color and I love them!

How is this for a room with a view?

Room with a View

A river view is a beautiful thing. Treasured. The St. Clair River in Algonac, MI flows beautifully – and just look at this lucky bird. He built his home with a river view. Smart.

I love how the morning sun hits the roof of the birdhouse. Electric! Beautiful sun on the branch of the tree. I kick myself every time I miss a sunrise when I’m visiting. They’re so spectacular, they’re worth getting up for!

27 State Street B&B - Charleston, SC

This is such a cool building, so it doesn’t take a lot to make it into a wonderful photo. I snapped this photo in March of 2007. Just look at the charm and character. Isn’t the old wavy glass on the windows just beautiful? I love the different textures – this building has such a wonderful patina!

Monhegan Trail

From the photo archives, circa 2007 – Monhegan Trail…

The trails on Monhegan are so fabulous, volunteers work hard to keep them nice. So when you get off the island and see a map for sale, buy one, support the local businesses while you’re there. Something this fabulous deserves to be around forever and ever.

Remember to leave no trace – take everything you brought with you. The logistics of trash removal (for residents and businesses) on the island boggle the mind and the pocketbook!

Palmetto Bluff 2007

From the photo archives… Palmetto Bluff, (Bluffton, SC) – taken September 2007.

We headed out on a road trip shortly after our last dog passed away – Reggie, he was a sweetie. Needed to get away from the silence and busy our minds with beauty. Let me tell you Palmetto Bluff is the perfect place to do just that!

Flag Day!

Happy Flag Day!

Happy Flag Day!

This photo was taken on the Elizabeth Ann from Monhegan Boat Line  (we have always taken Elizabeth Ann on the way to Monhegan and Laura B on the return, both are such cool boats)! Monhegan Boat Line is located in Port Clyde, Maine – a place that is near and dear to our hearts. The nicest people, with a sense of humor, which is so appreciated. They also have a cool gift shop, don’t pass it up!
