Another beautiful day...

Every day I take a bit of a different way to get to the shop.  I see something new every day that way and my walk to work is an adventure :-)  This morning was no different.  Seems I am taking a lot of flower pictures lately.  These are the ones I saw on the way in this morning....

I hope you enjoy these images.  I will post more images and thoughts soon.

The Dawn of Bright Days...

Well, it's Memorial Day Weekend, the official start to the summer season.  Despite mass quantities of fog that kept the sun at bay yesterday, there were plenty of people visiting Rockport.  Many are staying the weekend in the hopes for some beach weather and Mother Nature is gracing us with it today.  This morning the air is so pleasantly warm, the sea breeze so soft and comfortable, the sun is already breaking through and for the first time in many days the coast is not shrouded in the heavy fog.  I am looking forward to many smiling faces :-)

I tend to always find a drop of beauty, even on those gray days, and walking to the gallery each day gives me a chance to see what I might miss if I had taken the car.  I saw these beautiful pink blooms yesterday morning and could not resist...

Today as I walked to the gallery, my step was light as I basked in joy of a wonderful day.  Here is what I came across on my way...

I feel truly blessed and am grateful every day to live in such a beautiful place. 

And the sun broke free...

On Wednesday, The sun made a morning appearance for the first time in so long... the sunbeams played with the clouds in such a beautiful way I needed to capture it... enjoy the beauty mother nature graced us on this morning :-)

 

One last look at the heavy fog...

It has been a long cold windy rainy stormy spring.  Many mornings here in Rockport the fog has been thick and the skies so gloomy.. Well, the weather was about to take a turn a couple of days ago and I decided to take a shot to remember just what it was been like for most of this Spring.  it was morning, there was a layer of fog but a promise of brighter skies in the future... maybe it was a bit of camera withdrawal kicking in, I don't know... but I shot this foggy picture, a bit different from the shots I normally take... let me know what you think :-)

 

Photos of the artists...

I want to thank Kim Rosen of http://www.photosforcures.com/ for coming out to Rockport and taking pictures of the artists during the grand opening festivities.

The Gallery is Now OPEN

What an incredibly fantastic Grand Opening Weekend at the gallery.  It was truly a memorable weekend.  People came that I hadn't seen in decades, Bearskin Neck was a VERY busy place for Mothers Day weekend so I met a ton of new people.  There were a lot of smiles and happy faces and lots of moms enjoying the time with their families in this quaint seaside village of Rockport.  I am truly happy and love life.  Thank you to everyone for being a part of the gallery opening and a big thank you to Sue and Sharon.
