Leaving Port Clyde, Maine Headed Towards Monhegan
Talk about ethereal! This scene, the feeling while being there, and that fantastic light in the midst of the fog were all captured in this photo. This is the scene as we were leaving Port Clyde, Maine (in the distance), headed to Monhegan. Always a good time, the fog made it extra special this time!
Happy weekend – catch you back here tomorrow!

Port Clyde Dock in Fog
I love snapping photos when the water is like glass, where the reflections are sharp and dramatic. It’s especially cool with fog hovering in the air. This year we had the foggiest trip to the island (Monhegan), thankfully the seas weren’t rough in the fog. I have heard stories…
The return trip was a bit rough, but at least you could see the coastline. The ability to see land and have my Sea Bands on did the trick, thank goodness!

SuNgLaSsEs! 😎
This is Fred. Fred squinting in the bright sunshine waiting for me to take a photo, then the HURRY UP look, the I HAVE TO CLOSE MY EYES LOOK (put your sunglasses on Fred!) and the ahhhh, the sunglasses feel good look!
This is an older photo, I love his sunglasses now, he looks like a movie star – gotta try to get that shot! This photo was taken on Monhegan Island (Maine) – wish we were there now…
IT’S FRIDAY! Get out and enjoy!

Monhegan Sunset
Is there anything better than a sunset? Truly, we have to stop making dinner reservations during this time! I think next year we will eat pizza and take photos of the sunset! Ha ha… I run outside and snap a few as quick as I can. It’s difficult to stop, the light and colors change so quickly, illuminating yet another area in a more dramatic way then the first however many photos! I love this one with the cottage light on – adds so much charm.
This is Monhegan. Beautiful, charming and peaceful…
Catch you back here tomorrow!

Lobster Traps – Monhegan, ME
I love how these lobster traps are stacked near the brewery on Monhegan. I realize they’re there for a reason and not just to look good, but… they form a wall of the coolest kind.
Monhegan, and even Maine in general is a lot like that. Items used for form and function and not necessarily to “look good”, but they do!

Laura B in Fog – Monhegan Boat Line
This is the Laura B – Monhegan Boat Line – on a foggy Port Clyde (Maine) day. This boat is also known as the mailboat. This is one hard working boat – it delivers freight (you wouldn’t believe what all can fit on this amazing vessel) to Monhegan, and also picks up items from Monhegan. It’s the “early” boat – We recently came back from the island on this boat in fairly rough seas. It didn’t have a problem. These boats will run when others will not. So when Monhegan Boat Lines doesn’t run due to weather, you know it’s wicked! I’ve seen videos that have me scrambling for my Sea Bands, haha. A beautiful boat indeed!

Michigan Summer Sunset
Ok, so this was taken this past summer when I was in Michigan for a quick visit with my family. It doesn’t seem as if it was taken that long ago. Sunsets are amazing and I am addicted to them, haha.
The broad expanse of that wonderful pink light both in the sky and on the water is breathtaking, as are the swirls of clouds!

Reaching To the Heavens
Here is just a small portion of Susan’s Flower Garden – Monhegan, Maine. My first thought when I saw these flowers was that they appear to be reaching for the heavens. Gloriously happy and bright, with the sun shining warmly upon them.
I wonder how many people have smiled (or have taken photos) as they’ve walked past these flowers?

Monhegan: Afternoon Shadows
A photo snapped on the way back to the Island Inn (Monhegan, ME) after time spent walking around taking photos. Great shadows in the road. On your left is the wonderful flower garden I post many photos from, hard to tell in this photo, but trust me… gorgeous!

Stan Moeller Workshop – Island Inn, Monhegan
As many of you know, Monhegan Island is full of artists. Easels set up everywhere, paintings being created left and right. It’s amazing the talent on one small island.
Stan Moeller was giving a workshop and in the photo above they were painting on the lawn. This was a tricky week with a lot of fog, should make for some cool paintings!
Stan Moeller was the featured artist this year in the Island Inn dining room – very nice. Check out the Lupine Gallery for more work (click HERE to view paintings).

Flower Power – Monhegan
Monhegan. A beautiful island in Maine located about 10 miles off the coast. This island is so special. The only trucks you see are working trucks (deliveries, etc.) – everyone else is on foot. There is so much history on this island and the amount of talent is immeasurable.
Monhegan is also home to the most beautiful flowers. Everywhere. Gorgeous!

View from a Sonoma Winery
This is an image from the archives – taken at Viansa winery in Sonoma, CA. This was taken waaaay back in 2005. But I’m still remembering what a great time we had and how after spending time in San Francisco (and loving it!) there was a world so different just a short distance away! The timing of this shot is unfortunate – mid day bright light, but you can still see how beautiful it was and i’m sure, still is!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Grosse Pointe, MI Home
Isn’t this a beautiful home in Grosse Point, MI? I snapped this a few months ago through the car window (sorry about that) – ahhh! The lines of this house are STUNNING! The windows really add to the charm. This home was for sale (a few months ago) – it was a little out of our price range, haha. This is a fine home – very big – and drop dead gorgeous!
For those of you interested in a home in Grosse Pointe Farms, MI – this is a beauty and is 7,700 square feet with 7 bedrooms, 5 full baths and 5 half baths. Can you imagine? Click that link for more info…
