THE DAY OF THE MONARCHS

We named our little craft “Gwaihir,” after the Eagle Wind Lord from Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings.” Really, she was a wind lady and a rather dainty girl at that. The name was perhaps a trifle pretentious for such a small craft, but I thought it would be a lucky name. Gwaihir was a 16-foot Soling with … Continue reading THE DAY OF THE MONARCHS

SKETCHBOOK 42 – ROCKPORT SUNRISE

I tried doing this in watercolor and it was most emphatically a non-starter. I'm going to have to some serious practicing -- and I'm not sure watercolors will be my best medium. I will have to do this one again too. But I think I've got a lot of do-overs.

ROCKPORT HARBOR AND ANOTHER SUNRISE – Marilyn Armstrong

Fishing Boats and a Scarlet Sunrise Dawn in Rockport. If pictures look familiar, Rockport, Massachusetts is one of the most photographed locations in the U.S. Not only is it highly photogenic, but it is also an artist's colony.

RAINBOW COLORS IN BIRDS AND ONE SUNRISE OVER OGUNQUIT – Marilyn Armstrong

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Rainbow Colors (at least 4) Oh boy. Birds! I'm pretty sure some of these pictures have a lot more than four. A few of the birds have more than four. And a sunrise because ... well ... everyone needs a sunrise, right?  

JAMAICA, FAREWELL – Marilyn Armstrong

FOWC with Fandango — Tropical Living on the "right coast," the Caribbean has been our go-to tropical islands. Garry was addicted to Bimini. I didn't go as often as he did, but I loved St. Martin and later, St. Thomas, Aruba, Antigua ... and most particularly, I really loved Jamaica. Maybe it was the coffee? … Continue reading JAMAICA, FAREWELL – Marilyn Armstrong

BRIGHT HORIZONS

HORIZON - THE SKY ABOVE THE LINE OF THE EARTH My favorite horizon is sunrise, but sunset is pretty good too. Anywhere where the sky meets the earth is a horizon. Clear away the buildings and the trees, and there it is.

SOLITUDE AT SUNRISE

SOLITUDE | THE DAILY POST WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE Just before five in the morning. Ogunquit beach, Maine. A solitary walker on the beach as the sun rises. A seagulls wait on the shore. It's breakfast time for birds.
