The Day After the Storm

Although it was still dark when I woke this morning,

 a light caught my eye through my dormer

window.

The full moon was setting and playing hide-n-seek

with the fast moving clouds.

To my surprise it was very calm and balmy outside.

We went out early to check out the surf at the beach...

 

The brightly colored rose hips were a lovely 

contrast to the muted tones of the sea and sky.

In the shelter from the wind, there

was a calm sea but beyond the

lighthouse the strong surf could

be seen.

The sun even made an appearance.

Storm Sandy

 

The amazing storm has reached the coast of Maine.

 

Hope those in it's path stay safe.

Through the Mist

This was a special day that warmed our hearts.

Though it was a cold rainy day

the news of the birth of our grand niece

today that happened to also be our anniversary
made this day so memorable.

Colors of Autumn

Every time I walk by the birdbath along the path,

 I pause to take in

the reflection...

It seems that overnight the trees have

turned to beautiful autumn shades...

 

D has collected pears, when they ripen they are 

very flavorful.

We have had a rainy, misty and drizzly week but

it can still be cozy and the colors beautiful.
