I took this photo of the lighthouse on Monhegan back in 2014. There is nothing that can get me out of bed faster than a sunrise of this magnitude! Everything about it was stunning. The light spilled across to Manana (Island) and into the water. The island was floating in this beautiful pinkish orange. I feel so blessed to have witnessed this!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
I couldn’t pass by this sunflower without taking a photo – this flower comes complete with a bee. Good timing, thanks Bee!
Photo from the archives… Happy Sunday – Catch you back here tomorrow!
Beware near the St. Clair River in Michigan – Old Fisherman Crossing, hee hee. Oh how I would like to be here right now with a good book! I love that river!
Back to normal posting next week – Catch you back here tomorrow!
A sunset photo, taken from the Island Inn porch. These sunsets mesmerize me! This was taken looking towards Manana Island (the wharf has a light).
The color, THOSE SWIRLS OF CLOUDS, the dramatic coastline – wow, Wow, WOW!
I thought this peaceful photo was a good one for 9/11 – thinking of all those who were lost or lost loved ones, friends or acquaintances…

The magnetic pull of Monhegan, Maine. A panoramic from the hill near the Monhegan Museum & Lighthouse. What a view – it’s as if you can see forever! Of course this image is better larger (can click to enlarge), but you get an idea! There is a bench overlooking the cemetery, which is such a peaceful place to sit and just take it all in. Most of us would like nothing better than to never leave, however, that isn’t an option. So absorb it with every ounce of your being while you’re there! If you haven’t been – definitely add it to your bucket list!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Isn’t this bird beautiful against that gorgeous blue water? Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

This photo is from the archives, but I thought I would post it today as a reminder not to miss your local Farmer’s Market! What better way to buy the freshest produce that is LOCAL! (Asparagus is no longer in season here in Charleston, SC – but right now we have so many options it will boggle the mind!) – I love the green against the pink rubber band – Wow!

Charleston, SC – it’s quite a city, that’s for sure! Charleston, SC has been voted the World’s Best City. Wow.
Last year we were number 2 on the list, still impressive – and we’re the number one city in the US and Canada for the fifth year in a row!
So, if you ever are wondering where to take a vacation, this is the place! I think I would plan ahead, I think it’s going to get busier!
From the historic treasures this city has to offer, to the beautiful architecture and food that will blow you away – it’s no wonder!
This blip about Charleston, SC – from Travel + Leisure’s website:
Charleston moved up from the No. 2 city in the world last year to No. 1. The city has shown incredible resilience and, as one reader wrote, there is still “no place quite like it.” In addition to historic battlegrounds and jasmine-scented streets, Charleston is home to award-winning hotels (including the Spectator, No. 2 in the world this year) and restaurants. Antebellum charm, excellent boutiques, and the beautiful waterfronts at Sullivan’s Island and Folly Beach make this city one of the most beloved in the U.S.—and now, the world.
That’s quite an honor – Catch you back here tomorrow!
I’m quite sure this photo was captured on the front porch of the Island Inn – Monhegan, Maine. A place also known as heaven on earth! The beauty is unparalleled!
Happy Sunday – Catch you back here tomorrow!
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!

A photo of Monhegan, Maine from the archives today. Freedom of flight. A magical place indeed!

The canal was calm, nothing stirring. No breeze or current. The reflections were like looking into a mirror. Calm, serene, beautiful.
Wishing you the same for the weekend – Catch you back here tomorrow!
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!

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!
Catch you back here tomorrow – Back to regular posting next week!
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!
Catch you back here tomorrow – Back to regular posting next week!
