A Few More Beach Photos

Spent the morning doing things pertaining to my Aunt's hospitalization & then picked her up to take her home. Brought our leftovers from last night's dinner to have for lunch, not much in her refrigerator. Decided to take a little break so my Mom & I went to the beach for a short time. I went hoping to find some seaglass, but not a piece! But lots of abalone looking shells. Will take a picture of them when I get home ( tomorrow!)


The beach was pretty empty, only a few people out walking today---it was a beautiful day!


It was a great respite for me to know I could go there for a few calming moments every day!

On the Water in W. Yarmouth, MA.

Made it to Cape Cod this morning & visited my Aunt in the hospital in the morning and again in the afternoon. After lunch I took my Mom to a nearby beach, just be outside for a little while. Pretty breezy, but nice. These boats were in a cove near Seagull Beach.

Early morning on the Merrimack River

Up at my brothers house--going to Moms later today. My brother had a steel beam fall on his foot & break 4 metatarsal bones in his foot ( happened Mon.). Getting a cast today. Off to the cape tomorrow & my aunt is back in the hospital--wwhen it rains, it pours! Looking at the river from Tom's house

Something other than yellow!

Some colors other than yellow in the yard is a welcome sight--the violets are all over the yard! Have a few tulips --used to have many & will plant more in the fall.
can't get away from the daffodils--these are minis--only about an inch or 2 in diameter---tiny, but cute! Seems like more thing blooming everyday--can't wait to see what out when I get back from the Cape!

Beautiful Roses

A few more shots that I tweaked a little--all roses from Elizabeth park. Cropped some & lomo enhancement--one of my favorites!


Love the color of this rose ( i didn't change that at all!) Just cropped a bit

Playing in Picnik

Another rainy day--had plans with friends to do something outside, but raining too hard--would be too soggy! So I started working with some photos in Picnik. First up was taken at Elizabeth Park Rose Garden--really didn't do anything more than crop it a little. A sunrise on Isla Mujeres--using focal B & W ( reversed it)


I tried out many of the enhancements on this--I think I ended up with lomo--it's so easy to try multiple one on a photo, sometimes I lose track.

A Few of the Locals...

In the "center" of town we have a farm that has lots of exotic & regular animals. Some of the llamas & sheep were out in a field by the road the other day so I stopped to take a few photos. A new baby...Mom wasn't too far away!


A new family.....




Adorable donkey!
One of the men that works here came up & said go up on the hill--the elephants and camels are out there--I looked around but couldn't see them! Usually they're put in fields far enough back from the road so they don't tie up traffic! ( At least what there is out here in the country!)
