HOUSEHOLD HINT: Going to the beach? Bring some baby powder and when getting ready to leave, sprinkle yourself and the children with the powder and the sand will slide right off.
I love what you lens sees!
ReplyDeleteI would like to go out on the whale watching tours.. Love the shots of the boats and the pretty flowers. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteYour water shots and day lilies have made my day!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm with Eileen!! I would love to go on a whale watching tour!! Wonderful captures for the day, Carol!! Give your sweet doggie a hug for me!! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to be near the water again, but in the meantime your beautiful scenery keeps me very happy. Love your haiku today!
ReplyDeleteLovely variety of colors in the day lilies.
ReplyDeleteSo similar to my Waikiki, yet absolutely different - and delightful!

Hi Carol; I enjoyed your harbour photos and others; nice to see your part of the world from a distance... Carole, at snaphappyonline.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletePretty blooms Carol.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! The flowers are gorgeous. The whale watching tour looks like fun. I like your tidbit about baby powder and sand. That is great to know.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots on the water and the flowers are lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly ARE seeing the best of your beautiful harbor town. Although as I remember our visit there, really there is almost nothing that isn't wonderful about it (at least this time of year!). I would live at the coast (any coast) if I had to pick one place (maybe someday I will). Loved the haiku (always feel a feather is a magical sign).
ReplyDeleteI love your boats and the beautiful yellow flower.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your harbour and be our guide there.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Wil, ABCW Team.
Good tip about the powder! Lovely harbour shots.
ReplyDeleteWow, a boat with your own name too!
ReplyDeleteLooks like everyone wants to come and visit you and go whale watching Carol. Put me on the list please.
I wanna sail away on that boat......... And of course feathers are messages from above.
ReplyDeleteHari Om
ReplyDeleteWonderful summer sights - the haiku is perfect. YAM xx
Wow; Princess cruiser and Whale Excursion Boat , Dream ships for me♡♡♡ And wonderful collection of photo. Have a wonderful week and hope you are feeling perfectly well, my friend.
ReplyDeleteSending you Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
Hi,Carol.
ReplyDeleteYour Haiku is very fantastic. I like your Haiku very much. The princess Cruser photos are very beautiful. I always imagine what a beautiful place you live. Thanks for sharing.
I like your photos and my Maya likes your dog! I think she is in love with him! :))
ReplyDeleteOh it looks like you are having a delightful summer Carol. I love the feather from the sky. I found a yellow one the other morning and since yellow birds are less common I wondered from where that birdie had flown.
ReplyDeleteI love to see a white feather, someone sending a message. xx
ReplyDeleteThe connections are always there for those who can see them.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit.
Continue creatively!
Ah, those pictures do make me want to get out in the water! Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteNice photographs.
ReplyDeleteI like the little dining out fella.
Love these - so relaxing by the water! Growing up by the beach - the baby powder trick was SO good! That and walking on the grass - helps brush it off!
ReplyDeleteLovely series of shots! I'd love to be on that ship.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bay! And your little pup makes me smile :)
ReplyDeleteLove those lilies!

ReplyDeleteI look forward to visiting your blog each week. I wasn't disappointed.

ReplyDeleteLove your first photo! So fun to get a glimpse into your life this week.
ReplyDeleteMay the angels guide your hands and heart today!
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful pictures!
