Tina's Pic Story - Beautiful

East Shore, New Haven Connecticut Harbor, 2003

Tina's Pic Story is back - its simple rules are we provide the photo to match the theme she kindly provides which this week is 'Beautiful'

Plenty of things offer beauty that we admire. For me today, it is a shot captured on the East Shore of New Haven Harbor. In a series of pictures that we took about 10 years ago, the nighttime is now filtering in...the view is a bit crooked as I tried to balance the camera from the wheelchair. Not a perfect photo in layout, yet the edge of night captures us as it rolls in. Perhaps the end of a perfect day!

Tina's Pic Story - Snuggly

Sir Humphrey of Upland, 2003

Tina hosts the fun meme Pic Story - she advises the theme and we supply the pictures. The theme today is Snuggly, and what van be more snuggly and relaxing than a cat at rest. Our late cat Sir Humphrey is sprawled out on the bed - the soft blanket and his even softer fur allow him to slumber contentedly... Do not disturb!

Wordless Wednesday - Vacation is over

So we remind ourselves of vacations past where kids enjoyed the hotel pool and the biggest decision of the day was which restaurant we were going for dinner...see Tina and Joy

Whimsical Windows - Vacations almost over

Toby hosts the delightful Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors where portals are the destination. Today I offer a digital print from 2003.

We are at our vacation motel, the Hyannis Inn, right in the middle of touristy Main Street on Cape Cod. The motel pool is inside and under cover out of the direct sun. The kids loved to play in the pool there as we do not have one at home. I chose this view to post as the windows are not so whimsical - but daughter Allegra has that satisfied look that all is fun in the water

Ah, vacations...we took more of them until the kids went to college. So, staycations are the rule these days, alas...
