Moonrise

The first night in the Berkshires ended with a beautiful (mostly) full moon.

Sunset

My brother drove me up one of the side mountain roads to see if we would have a better view of the sunset. Looked like a pretty good…

Stanley

Another resident of the Berkshires, that I met on my first day, was Stanley. It’s hard to tell in this photo but Stanley is a big boy (long…

Purple Weeds

Once I got off the Mass Pike it should have only taken 20-30 minutes to get to my brother’s place. However, it took twice as long as I…

Welcome to the Berkshires

Took a little mini-vacation out to the Berkshires to visit my brother and sister-in-law, at their summer cabin. This was the first resident to greet me when I…

Saquish Rocks!

I’ve always loved how Saquish has different terrains to the beach. You have the Gurnet with the lighthouse up on a cliff. Then you have the front beach,…

Goggle Man

Saw this guy on the first cross over to the back beach. As I was setting up my shot, a woman stopped and asked how I liked Goggle…

Kite Walk

There was a nice breeze out at the beach, which made it a perfect day to take a kite for a walk.

Saquish Sky

For photos I love having the large white puffy clouds. They give the sky more depth and add to the image. We had a lot of them the…

Homer

This is Homer. Mom and I met him out at Saquish. He was having a wonderful time at the beach and going up and down and greeting everyone….

Flower Shoe

Here we have Mom’s flower shoe. Probably where I subconsciously got the idea for my flower boots. Mom has a very green thumb (I did not take after…

Thirsty Bird

After the hummingbirds seemed to get used to me and the camera (see yesterday’s post), I moved down closer to them (as seen in the first two shots)….

Hummingbird Feeder

Mom and Dad have two hummingbird feeders at the house. One out front and one out back. Both can be seen while sitting on the porch. The hummingbirds…

Plymouth Mayflower

On Sunday, Mom, Dad, and I took a ride to Plymouth to say welcome back to the Mayflower II (and to get an ice cream for lunch). She…

Pool Time

The weekends have been busy with friends and family. It has really made the summer fly by. On Saturday, I hung out with “friends with kids.” The pool…

Templum by Margaret Swan

I’ll admit this statue didn’t really draw me in. I should have used it as an opportunity to try and take a more creative shot but instead it’s…

Loving Stones by Jospeh Wheelwright

“Loving Stones comprise two recently carved granite boulders that have been transformed into human heads gazing fondly at one another, smiling shyly with glistening eyes. They are made in…

Wave Cloud by George Sherwood

“Wave Cloud is suggestive of a floating body of water. It is comprised of thousands of stainless steel elements woven into a grid. Each element ripples in the wind…

Green Landscape/Brown Landscape by Jim Henderson

Two more sculptures by the same artist from yesterday’s post. “Several years ago I began making drawings of the deeply etched volcanic mountains in Hawaii. Those drawings grew…

Three Bronze Trees by Jim Henderson

“Three Bronze Trees are part of a series that began as drawings of the deeply etched volcanic mountains in Hawaii. Those drawings grew into a group of bronze…

The Space Within by Gillian Christy

The top photo is called, The Space Within: Buds and the bottom photo, The Space Within: Leaves. I took the top photo in the morning hour (around 7:30an)…

Arabesque by Eric Sealine

I really liked this piece of art. The first time I saw the statues was on a cloudy day (top photo) and it didn’t have a shadow. When…
