Here are some of my photos and I hope that I have done better naming them for my dear friend J.

Vee,
ReplyDeleteThank you for giving a taste of the sea this morning! The photos and captions are just wonderful. Have a great weekend!
Ah the pictures are beautiful Vee. Somehow it brings me comfort to know you are in driving distance to Boston. . .with our young friend heading that direction.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom loved the sea too.... even at the end when she was so weak we almost had to carry her to the van to drive the short distance to the seaside....where we would nibble crackers and watch the waves; the ships going by and strain our eyes for sight of a great whale. .... .. She would be overcome some days ... tears would well up.... especially on days when the wind was blowing and the waves were wild....happily clapping her hands and cheering them on...
ReplyDeleteJohn Masefield's Sea Fever was her favourite poem...
well, there, now I've done it... my throat hurts and the tears are running down my face... think I'll just go have a damn good cry ....
Beautiful pictures. I'd love to have a basket of those rose hips! They're awesome.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. And it was a lovely surprise to read "Moncton". I spent several weeks in NB on three press trips many years ago. What a lovely area. I long to go back.
ReplyDeleteOh Vee! You know how much I love this light house! I was so thrilled to touch it once! Your photos are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love light houses and always make a point to visit any that I know of in an area I am in.
Have a happy labor Day weekend!
Hugs, Pat
Wonderful pictures Vee! Thanks so much for sharing! I'm in love with lighthouses (what DOES draw us to them?) and especially love those photos! Have a fabulous weekend!

Beautiful photos Vee! I used to collect little lighthouses but once I discovered vintage ...that's a whole 'nother story...LOL.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Hugs,
Robin
What beautiful subject matter for an artist! I'd love to visit there - looks like ya'll had a wonderful picnic! That IS a wonderful basket - I think my mom used to have one like that, but there's no tellin' where it is, IF she still even has it! Have a wonderful holiday weekend, Vee! Vickie
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures. I've never been to light house but I think they're wonderful. Something kind of romantic about a light house. Unfortunately the West Coast doesn't have a lot of light houses. At least not around here. So it's nice to see pictures of them :-)

Oh Vee, your pictures are breathtaking. I especially love the tanker reflecting the sun, the lighthouse itself, the rose hips, and of course the "chariot" picture. Beautiful... thanks for taking time to get those and share them with us!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Christi
What beautiful photos, Vee, and what a glorious part of the country you live in!
ReplyDeleteI do like the refelction on the tanker. So the lighthouses of Boston could be anywhere in England.
ReplyDeleteI was in Boston in 1988 but did not get to the coast.
I love lighthouses, there's such a peace and beauty about them, yet there's true sadness associated with every lighthouse in America.
ReplyDeleteHave a Wonderful Saturday Vee :)
