Foggy day. Beautiful flowers. This is Monhegan!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
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…

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!

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!

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!
WOW. Right? Look at that vibrant orange color! I swear carrots in a regular grocery store are not this brilliant in color. Nothing like super fresh, right?
Have a good weekend! Hey… Farmer’s Market in Charleston is today! These carrots are from Whole Foods Market | Mount Pleasant, SC.

The mix of wood, stucco, greenery and glass makes such a nice statement, doesn’t it? I love the variations in the stucco. This is true stucco, not the panels that they make that you see, this is the real deal. It has so much character! Another stunning example of Charleston, SC!

This is the view over the bridge that takes you from West Ashley to downtown Charleston, SC, through the car window. Those big things in the sky aren’t weird birds, they’re flowers from the crape myrtle that are on my windshield.
Just look at that dramatic sky!
P.S. I promise I wasn’t the one driving (you can see the passenger side mirror)!

A window in Charleston, SC – Just look at the colors in that window box! The flowers are beautiful and compliment the color of the house so nicely!
There is nothing like a well taken care of historic home. There is so much maintenance with houses downtown, especially the homes that are built so close together, not allowing sun to get in between, requiring constant painting. But BRAVO Charleston – most homes are just beautiful!
