These are just some big, fat, juicy cranberry-colored Peking Glass beads from my collection. Just because they make me happy. I hope you like them too.
Happy Monday!

That beautiful, weak, yellow, late afternoon winter sunlight.

The waterfall in back always brings to mind E St V Millay:
By digging hard I might deflect
that river, my mind, that uncontrollable thing,
Turgid and yellow, strong to overflow its banks in spring, carrying
away bridges

These particular morning glories always appear to me to have a light turned on in their wee little middles.
Wouldn't that be grand?

Tuesday beach day! We went to the sea and the entire beach was made of shells. Insanely cool.

A little break from the mainstream; this is taken from my kayak in the middle of Blackman Stream, just floating along through the lily pads on an impossibly hot summer's day.
Summer's coming, you guys.

A photo of a stream filled with lily pads and reeds blowing in the breeze and a pale blue sky cluttered with puffy white and gray clouds.

Photo of three windows on the second floor of a Victorian building. The paint on the elaborate trim is turquoise blue. There is a light in the shape of a star hanging in the center window, and a small stained glass depiction of Mary.

More clouds from my back forty.
I had someone accuse me of being overly moody with my photographs. Bite this, photo critic.
And Happy Friday.

Mood.
I'm telling you, I am cloud obsessed.
Storm front blowing in. Taken in my yard way back in 2018.

Good Morning, Bluesky!

Here's my photo of the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse here in lovely Maine, taken at about the halfway mark while walking along the rocks.

Panoramic view of a cloudy gray sky with lots ripply clouds, a calm gray ocean, a breakwater wall made of large pieces of granite with the ocean on either side and a lighthouse at the very end.

I take too many photos of clouds.
If that is actually a thing.

Yesterday as the sleetsnowrain was falling I was watching Wild Robot & at the point Brightbill is leading the flock to safety 50+ ducks landed in my yard & hung around for the rest of the day in the shelter of my huge old apple tree & I'm not crying, you're crying.

Good Morning, Bluesky!
I'm truly excited to see what sort of impact we will collectively make today!
Meanwhile, here's a shot from a few years ago of my backyard completely shrouded in snow.
Spring will come...eventually.

Good Morning, Bluesky!
Sipping coffee and waiting for the snow to start.
I am beyond ready for spring, but Winter certainly does give good sky!
Everything this morning is washed in the color of ripe apricots.

G'morning, Bluesky.
I'm feeling more blue than pink, to be honest.
Pale pink sunrise illuminating a snowy field and snow covered trees with a small brook in the foreground.
