A Whales Tale of Adventure

The morning storms had passed, the skies still a bit cloudy, but the sun was shining! We headed out to Stellwagen Bank, where the whales are known to feed. Out of the harbor, following the channel markers, we passed Sandy Neck village which is accessible only by SUV or by boat. Ironically, the lighthouse at the tip of Sandy Neck had once used whale oil to light the lantern.

Once we were out passed the tip of Provincetown, we located a pod of whales.








We were very lucky today.... saw a lot of whales, beautiful weather, and of course being out at sea!

A Whale of a Tale to come.....

I'm headed out this afternoon to board a whale watch boat out of Barnstable Harbor. So far the weather is co-operating and my camera battery is charged and ready to go! My experiences with this type of trip in the past have proven that it is rather difficult to get good quality photos of the allusive beasts but I'll do my best! Hyannis Whale Watcher Cruises are the folks who operate out of Barnstable Harbor so hold onto your hats folks... I'll be back with some hopefully good shots and a whale of a tale to tell!

A New Beginning

One never knows when things will change, doors open, the wind shifts, new opportunities arise. I have a desire to write again... perhaps because summer is here and the world is once again warm and beautiful here! No promises, just the glimmer of a chance that I might find some spare time to write again, to share photos again, to reconnect with those I felt a compelling connection with....

Adieu...

I'm shutting the blog down folks.... at least for the time being.

With the hours at work and life in general, it's just too much to try and keep up with at this point. (and do it justice) I just want to say that I appreciate all your comments over the past two years... very much! I will still be lurking about...so don't be surprised if I show up in your comments from time to time!

God Bless,

and Best wishes for the holidays.

I'm speechless.....

Spectacular Sunsets of the Past

Some of these were taken with a cell phone camera, so the quality is greatly lacking. What I find interesting when I look at these is that I remember where I was, what mood I was in, what the weather was like for each and every one of these photos. (except the 3rd photo which was taken by my daughter and who has given her permission for it to be posted here.) I remember who I was with, if I wasn't alone, and how the beauty of the sunsets, each different in their own way, made me wish I could paint them on canvas, just as they appeared in front of me.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I'm very grateful for all my family and friends, especially my daughter, who makes me proud every day. My thoughts and prayers are with those who are serving our country today - God Bless you and keep you safe.

Gone to the Birds

Lately, when I take my walks, I've noticed an increase in activity of the local gulls. They seem to be anxious for something to happen, either the weather to change or for some tasty morsel to drop from the sky! I sometimes take bread down to the lake to feed the ducks and loons but most of the time it's the gulls who enjoy the meal.

A Walk on the Wild Side...

Last light....

I've been gone too long.
Headed home,
to sit by the fire
and dream of things to come....
