Raspberry Lime Ricky Anyone?

This is one of my summer beverages of choice.  

What's yours?

I am having fun shooting with my camera phone.  

Looks like I need some more ice . . .

Travel Tuesday: Portsmouth, Rhode Island

This life size giraffe is one of the many creature creations in the Green Animals Topiary Garden.  This whimsical garden is the oldest and most northern topiary garden in the United States and is the backdrop for Chris VanAllsburg's children's book, The Garden of Abdul Gasazi. Take the book out of your local library and bring it with you to read to your children or grand children as you wander around the 7 acre garden finding all the animals in the story.

Down By The Creek

The Ryan Recreation area was quiet a few nights back.  I am trying out the camera on my new phone.

Daisy Drops

We're having a reprieve from the heat - cool misty days which are to my liking.

Sail Away

Summer at Black's Creek . . . doesn't get much better than this.

Boat Impression

I played around with yesterday's image using paint daub effect to achieve a painterly quality.

One Oar Down

Blacks Creek recreational boating program begins in earnest this week.  I hope someone finds the other oar for this rowboat to work.
