Snowed In

Surveying the bird feeders this morning,
the snow gently continues to fall...

The Maine Attraction

On this snowy day in Maine, the birds are
gathered around our main attraction...
if you look closely, you can see the cardinal, chickadee
and woodpecker...the were soon joined by a
nuthatch, Tufted Titmouse, robin, junco,
Mourning Doves, and as many as 6
Blue Jays.

A Warm Glow

As D and I took a little ride around
town tonight, and the light from
this cozy window caught my eye.
We paused to feel its warming glow
on this snowy wintry night of the
first day of the New Year.

Wishing All A Peaceful 2010

Seeing the beach late this afternoon as darkness
approached was especially beautiful...the last
night of the year 2009.


A light snow fell during the day, dusting the
rocky coast with a powdered sugar appearance!

Further down the dark road, the lights from the
Cape Arundel Inn looked so festive and warm.
Looking up from the street into the windows
of the dining room, the decorations for a New Year's Eve
celebration could be seen and we could imagine that soon
folks would be arriving to dine and celebrate in style!
We continued on our way, back to our cozy little home
to spend a quiet evening appreciating what we have,
being with our cats and thinking of our family
and friends.
Wishing you all a wonderful New Year!

Through the Windows

I've been feeling the effects of a bad cold since
Saturday...been staying in and resting with my
loyal companion, Brody the cat.
Just glanced out of the back upstairs
window as the sun sets
on another day.
I yearn to see the sea!
Oh, to my surprise, when I peeked out of the
front window on the stairs, there was the full moon!
Made my heart sing!


Actually, I flew out of the house for a split
second, into the freezing night air so I
could have another view!

Season's Greetings!

Happy Holidays and a Healthy New Year!

A Winter Memory

Early last January, when I was at my parent's
home on a very snowy day, I glanced out of
their upstairs window, admiring the softly
falling snow when suddenly out of all of
the whiteness, a lovely couple taking
a walk added a magical feeling... something
that touched me...I knew I wanted to remember
that moment with my ink and watercolors.
