View from a morning walk.
You never know what you will see (or hear),
The turtles sunning themselves,
Church bells chiming on the hour,
Stark white birds having the time of their lives,
Sun on the marsh grass,
This looks so remote, yet it is so near it all.
The beauty of Charleston…
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Don’t you just love this time of year?
It starts getting more crisp and less humid. (YAY!)
The mornings are dark, at least for now.
Evening comes quickly. I love that…
The sun sets in the most glorious way.
Enjoy the October skies!
Update: This was written in October, with the intention of being published in October, hmmm, clearly I need to hire help to keep me straight. The October skies are still beautiful in November. That crisp, less humid air… hmmmm, it isn’t happening at the moment, we are warm and humid. I am excited for that to change! The sunrise and sunset each day… exquisite!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Snapped a photo while we were out walking the other day… look at the cloud reflections in the marsh. Tide was quite high and it was a beautiful day!
Enjoy your Sunday! Did you turn your clocks back one hour last night? If not, you may want to do it now ;)
Catch you back here tomorrow!
I love radishes, and they’re pretty high on the ANDI score, which is an added bonus. But just look at these! I found them at Whole Foods Market, they’re called Easter Egg Radishes. More beautiful radishes do not exist 😉!!

The sweetest little things are such a surprise!
How sweet is this little bouquet? These bouquets were on the tables in the dining room at the Island Inn (Monhegan, Maine). They add such a nice touch, don’t they? The finishing touch for sure!

Have you ever had your camera on the Manual setting by mistake? Sigh… at first I was disappointed and then I thought that the photos I took (my profile pic on FB being one) looked pretty cool, almost like they had an Instagram filter applied to them. Let’s just go with that, shall we? ;)

Foggy day. Beautiful flowers. This is Monhegan!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Look at the near stillness of the water and that oh-so-cool reflection! Lovely!

This is a view from the lighthouse on Monhegan, Maine.. A foggy day that was just spectacular. This proves you don’t always need the sun shining. Absolutely beautiful!
This is one of those times I didn’t have my camera, so this is with my phone, it did pretty well considering the distance. You get an idea of the magnitude of this island. The other island you see is Manana Island.

This boat looks like a real workhorse. Fishing can be dangerous and physically very difficult. When their boats are in the harbor they are beautiful. Not beautiful in a sparkly kind of way, more like natural beauty…
Catch you back here tomorrow!
View of Raspberry Island from Port Clyde, Maine. I love the peacefulness of this area. It feels like heaven to me!
There is a wonderful painting of Raspberry Island by artist Jerry Weiss that we ran across in Charleston, SC one day! It was an art gallery (no longer in Charleston), and they had it on an easel near the door. We walked by and Fred spotted it right away.

What do you do when you’re in the house for many days with wicked weather outside? Play with your camera settings of course! I tried to figure out how to use the manual setting on my camera, not sure that I did. Some photos turned out, some didn’t. I did find that I could change a setting to MACRO to photograph close up (like the shots for food, that I have been using my phone for)! How exciting to figure out at least something.
Charlie was getting annoyed with being the subject of my photo ;) ha ha…
I write my posts ahead of time and schedule them to publish. As I write this we have had much rain (near 20″), flooding on nearby streets, streets closed in most directions and just a general mess. This morning we woke to wind (oh no!), hoping the trees will be OK, they are so drenched that they easily uproot during these conditions. I need a week to catch up! Power was flickering on and off, so we had the computer shut down. Back to normal next week!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Beautiful, right? Dramatic, awe-inspiring color. The peacefulness of the ocean. The dramatic darkness of the islands.
Monhegan sunset facing Manana Island…

When Fred and I were in Maine we saw some spectacular sunsets. Our last night we took a drive to Pemaquid Point area, saw the sky light up near the beach, BUT the sunset was around the bend…
So, we hopped in the car and off we went until we found it!
You’ve heard of STORM CHASERS, right? Those people that chase dangerous storms so they can video/photograph? Well, this is the watered down version… Fred and I are sunset chasers, ha ha… there is just nothing like a good sunset!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Can you believe it’s already October? Time flies! We used to be the young people in the neighborhood, now we’re the older ones. It’s crazy how fast that happens! So, enjoy every moment. Run out and do a random act of kindness, I guarantee you will be the one that feels so good!
Happy Sunday! Catch you back here tomorrow!
