This week's posts will continue to focus on Quincy's 27 miles of Atlantic coastline.

Although gulls are really flying rats, I love seeing them near bodies of water. They are quite beautiful in appearance, aren't they? I grew up on Lake Michigan and live close to Lake Superior now so I'm very familiar with thoses rascals. Great photo, and I like the way you balanced the objects.

Oh wow, I like this one! The stripes in the water are particularly neat.

Btw, where are your sneakers? I nearly thought I was on the wrong blog. Love the cute sun though.

Kate- the gulls are quite the scavengers. One once had the nerve to take my baby's pacifier right off the beach blanket that we were picnicking on!
eliane- my sneakers wore out from pounding all the pavement in Quincy! I also like the ripples in the water ;)

Summer Attraction

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
