I took a walk to the beach on the bay side yesterday morning about 6:00am. The sky was gorgeous with pink hues and soft colors. The sailboat moored in the inlet was so pretty with the light shining on it. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I got my camera out to take some photographs and when I zoomed in I saw something move. Hmmmm… what was that? It was a Great Blue Heron strutting around the deck peering into the water looking for breakfast. Haha!
Every spring we look for some new flowers to plant in the yard to give it a little more color. Hopefully we pick ones that will stagger their blooming throughout the summer.(Click on blog link for other photo.)
I had always liked the beautiful Coneflowers that bloomed in Rocky Mountain National Park, so I thought… why not?
When we bought this Coneflower it said that they grow 3-4 feet. This one has grown to about 8 feet and is just gorgeous! It is such a treat to look out the kitchen window and see the bright yellow flowers blooming in August as most of the other flowers are starting to die off.
Yesterday was Arey’s Pond Annual Cat Gathering in Pleasant Bay. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
The Cat Gathering is one of the largest gatherings of catboats on the East Coast. Catboats and other classic wooden boats are invited to participate in this just-for-fun regatta through Little Pleasant Bay, into Pleasant Bay and back.
It was a perfect day with a good wind and sunny skies and lots of catboats out in the bay. I counted about 90 boats in Pleasant Bay! Wow! It was quite a sight to see!
