Whimsical Windows - Shorefront Abode

Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors returns and my subject today represents a style of living that appeals to me (if I had the $ to do so, that is :)

This was taken on a 'Duck Boat' tour of Hyannis Harbor on picturesque Cape Cod. This sits on a fairly secluded piece of land that is away from the big marina on the harbor - near, but just far enough away. And with no dock, uninvited nautical visitors cannot arrive unannounced either...

Nothing extraordinary about the design apart from the lighthouse. But this setting, away from the ubiquitous Nantucket/Vineyard ferries and assorted yachts, is to me waterfront living should be, quiet and almost away from the oft usual frenetic pace of life!

Tina's Pic Story - Azure

Intercostal Waterway near Stuart, Florida, Dec. 1980
Wetlands near Jensen Beach Florida, Dec. 1980
Tina is back with the fun weekly picture meme Pic Story. Simply, she thoughtfully provides the theme which this week is azure. To me, this is a color that fits the waters of Florida and a trip there many decades ago. The inland waterway and the swamp have azure blue waters that have remained while scanned from the old prints. A lovely color and a great subject this week!
