Quiet Reflections…

Coastal Maiine

Look at this sky! This photo from the coast of Maine is very fitting for this time of year. Short daylight hours, the wild clouds in the sky. That wonderful light, however fleeting.

I think spending time after Thanksgiving reflecting on all you have to be grateful for is the perfect way to fast forward you into the upcoming year. Time flies so quickly!

All in a days work… Whoa!

St. Michael's Church

Yesterday, Fred, Charlie and I headed downtown to walk around and stop in a few stores. As we drove down Broad Street we passed Saint Michael’s Church and saw it being painted.

No. Easy. Task!

It looked like they were using rollers. Can you imagine?

The walk after the rain…

 

Morning walk...

Much of the country has seen a lot of rain and wild weather for November. This was a photo taken after another batch of rain that caused flooding in areas here in Charleston. The marsh looks swollen. I love those moody, gray, cloudy skies with the dark outline of the trees that line the marsh up close and in the distance. Beautiful light reflections in the water. It’s amazing how much the marsh can change. We are fortunate to live in such a beautiful area!

Looking up!

Looking up!

Just look at these clouds! What a wonderful blue sky, the dark trees and the puffy rows of clouds…

I took this photo one day on our morning walk…

If it’s not a sunrise or sunset it’s a cloud that I’m snapping a photo of. This reminds me of being a kid…

Did you plop down in the grass and just look up at the sky? It’s like nature TV!

Don’t lose sight of the little things in life. Be grateful for what you have WHEN YOU HAVE IT. None of us will live forever, so make every day count.

Photo from the archives: Nothing like a river sunset!

A Michigan Sunset | ArtFoodHome.com

Is there anything better than watching a sunset or sunrise? I absolutely love it. It makes you realize there is something out there greater than yourself. This is sunset from my parents front porch. I love this river. But the river with a sunset… WOW!

I have many photos of a stunning sunrise or sunset. There is something so magical about them. Have you noticed how quickly the sun sets? Once it starts going down, towards the end you can basically watch it drop behind the horizon. It’s amazing.

October Sky – Charleston, SC

October Sky - Charleston, SC

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!

A happy mistake…

DSCN3731

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? ;)

Misty Mae, Port Clyde, Maine.

Posting a week of photos, after all this rain, flooding etc. that Charleston experienced I am behind. Very behind. Back to normal posting next week!

View from the lighthouse on Monhegan Island…

IMG_4302

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.
