Stormy Weather = Day Trip

This week has had its share of turbulence in the atmosphere.

Storms coming in and out within minutes of each other.  Sometimes not allowing much of a breath in between the sun, the clouds and the rain.

 On this day the stormy weather rendered a "day off" and offered an impromptu day trip to Portsmouth to view the tall ships in town.

We headed out with quite a bit of sunshine.... alongside a constant hint of storminess within our sight.

Folks wandered around the pier and took in the majesty of the ships in port as well as the beauty of Portsmouth herself.

This series of three photographs make me smile.

The likelihood of us getting back to our car before the rain hit would have been much greater had I not had my camera with me!

All's well that ends well

Just as the skies opened up with a deluge of water we happened to be right across the street from a nice Thai restaurant.

Huh, having my camera with me
made for a perfect pit stop in our day.

Life is always better when you go with the flow and accept the little surprises along the way....

She Succumbed

I've photographed this tree many times.
I've also admired it from the roadside
driving by for years.
I noticed one day this
winter that she was gone.
I wanted to stop and photograph her
that day but was on my way to work.

Today I took the time to photograph her.
She still held her dignity and strength in
her roots.  It was such a lovely day and
I was one of only a few on the water.

While floating around her for a while
I shared the space with two loons
swimming by the island.

Peaceful Day....

enjoy,
