skywatch friday: sunset over the meadows

the quality of this shot, poor

the quality of this moment, indescribably beautiful.

This Old House Thursday: Western Avenue beauty

The lines of this house

strike just the right balance between interest and contentment, don't they?

Thank you Malyss of the beautiful Chronicles From the Shore

for bestowing an "I Love Your Blog" Award on the very shy but delighted Brattcat.

Wednesday doorway: my refrigerator

The best friends

are those who bake in your kitchen and leave

four layer cakes behind in your refrigerator

FYI: the cake is gone, dear friends,

please come back soon

Bill has taken a tiny patch of dirt abutting the co-op parking lot

and transformed it into an exotic oasis.

your chair awaits you

sending cooling wishes to all of you enduring the intense heat

Pisgah State Park, New Hampshire

Eight friends went hiking around Kilburn Pond yesterday.

The mosquitoes were insatiable.

But the pleasure of conversation and the beauty of the trail

helped us transcend the discomfort of the welts rising on our skin.

(apologies for the poor quality of this shot. i was scratching and shooting at the same time.)

Night view from a train

Each window of this train station 

(I think New Haven, Ct. but please correct me if I'm wrong)

glowed with topaz light.

Happy Theme Day everyone.

And THANK YOU for your comments.

Your words are so welcome and dear to me.
