Love Spring. The Tulip Magnolia's are blooming in the front yard today.

Just for Fun

My 365 days are over but it was so much fun and hard to stop. I will still add photos to my blog but not everyday. This photo I took the other day when the sunlight came through the front window hitting the vase of dried hydrangeas.

Tonight's Special Moon - DAY 365

Day 365 where did the time go. I had so much fun taking the photos trying to find something different each day and truly enjoyed the wonderful comments about my photos. I will still be taking photos, but probably not everyday.

Windy Day -364

A very windy day today but warmer. It was warm enough to seat in the screen room and read a book.

Chihuly Glass - Day 363

George and I went to the Fine Arts Museum today to see the building of the Chihuly Glass Exhibit that opens on April 3rd. We had seen his work in Coral Gables a few years ago. Amazing blown glass pieces of art. Today they are building an object at least 20 ft tall. It is being shown in the Shapiro Garden. We had lunch there and watched them work.

Rainy Morning - Day 362

The rain was coming down moderately this morning driving down route 95 . This afternoon it has started to clear out with the forecast predicting a bright sunny day for St. Patrick's Day tomorrow.

Camera Club - Day 361

Club President Larry Fay introduced Onne Van der Wal who spoke tonight at our meeting. He is a nautical photographer that has traveled the world and owns a gallery in Newport, Rhode Island. His photography was very inspiring with colorful ocean scenes.

Quincy's Grist Mill - Day 360

The restoration on the outside of the Grist Mill has been completed. This afternoon I found at low tide a wonderful reflection in the Town Brook.

Jen and Bill are Home - Day 359

Jen and Bill arrived back in Boston today after a great weekend in New Orleans. Both of them came home with a sunburn. George and I and Pugsley went to Logan to pick them up. We are home now and Cleo came out of the cellar. Now I only have to wait until Dan has returned to Boston later this afternoon.

Snow Row - Day 358

Wonderful day for the Snow Row. Cold but sunny. Bill and Nancy came up from the Cape to join us. Enjoyed their company. I think everyone from Hull and Quincy were on the boat.

Pugsley is Visiting - Day 357

Pugsley is visiting for a few days while Jen and Bill visit New Orleans with friends. He is being very good, so much quieter then when he was a puppy.

Sunset Lake- Day 356

On my way home from my Lightroom class I stopped at Sunset Lake in Braintree. The lake in still frozen waiting for Spring.

Mushrooms for Supper - Day 355

The best thing George and I do since we retired is eat. Thank goodness George likes to cook.

Jerusalem Road - Day 354

I took a ride on Jerusalem Road in Cohasset looking for today's photo. It was a beautiful bright cold day. It is hard for me to believe my 365 days of photos will end in 11 days.

Lobster Traps - Day 353

At the Town River in Quincy there are many lobster traps waiting for summer.

Last of the Snow- Day 352

Today it is 60 degrees. Winter coat was way to warm to wear. Looking around the yard I have no snow in the backyard and just a little in the front yard. Good bye snow!!!!!!

Spring is Coming - Day 351

Walking out the front door I spotted the crocus had come up today. Spring will be coming soon.

Virginia - Day 350

I feel like I'm back at work today. I spent the day looking for all of my Tall Ships/Schooner photos to add to my web site. I did find what I have which is amazing.

Victory - Day 349

Very busy day today. Wonderful class this morning on Photoshop Layers. Meeting at a bank for Hull Artists and then a delicious lunch at the Grille in Hingham Harbor (The former Old Mill Grill) with Paula. Today's photo was taken at the Iron Horse Park in the Hingham Harbor. This was the first I knew of the name of the park . Found it in Hingham history online.

Wampatuck Park, Hingham - Day 348

I wanted to find Swans today. But still no luck. Even tried Straits Pond. This is a view of the pond and the main road that goes through Wampatuck Park.

Think Tulips - Day 347

Today being March 1st only 19 days to Spring. The tulips will be most welcome when they sprout from the ground. Can't wait!

Cleo Again - Day 346

Cleo got to be my photo today. It was either George or Cleo and Cleo won.

1-4-3 - Day 345

One of my valentine's day gift's was a Chris Lewis's creation of Minot's Ledge Lighthouse. I had it framed and truly enjoy it. Minot's light flashes 1-4-3 (I Love You) as it's signal. George has always used 1-4-3 when he leaves notes for me which makes this very special.

Whitmans Pond - Day 344

Did a circle around the South Shore today and finally found a photo at Whitmans Pond in Weymouth.

Rainy Day - Day 343

A rainy day but thankful for the rain instead of snow. A good day to catch up on what I have to do to get ready for next week with meetings and art show entries.

Beth Isreal Medical Center - Day 342

Had my last set of tests today at Beth Israel. Today was an eye exam, after having my eyes dilated all the other photos came out exactly the way I saw them. I was hoping the camera would work on it's own. Oh Well.

Where's Denmark- Day 341

It is time to start planning our Cruise in a few month's. I found Denmark today on my globe. Just in case it had moved. Ha!

Sunset Point, Hull - Day 340

I was in Hull this morning for a couple meetings and lunch with Mom. Driving to Mom's you could see the Boston skyline clearly today.

Orange Swirl - Day 339

Something different today, I stayed close to home.

Quincy Marsh - Day 338

I went driving around the City this afternoon for today's photo and headed towards Houghs Neck. This photo is from a different angle of the marsh that I usually take from Spring Street.

Loring Hall - Day 337

Went to Hingham this afternoon to see The Kings Speech at the Loring Theater. I love the Loring for the history of an old theater house, but after waiting to use the ladies room the new theater at Hingham Shipyard was needed.

Building Is Gone - Day 336

When I was driving up Granite Street towards Quincy Square to my surprise the building on the corner of Chestnut Street and Maple Street had been demolished. Hairplace 1 use to have their salon in front, with a typewriter repair shop behind and a coin dealer next to them. Quincy Mutual Fire Insurance owns the land and has plans to landscape the area to leave as open space. It's headquarters is behind the space. The third photo is what the building looked like a couple months ago.

A Moment Ago - Day 335

For just a couple minutes the sky was a blazed with the sun starting to set. It is gone now.

Daffodils - Day 334

Spring can't be that far away when Daffodils can be purchased. While at Trader Joe's today they had them for $1.49 a bunch. I had to buy 2.

Geese - Day 333

Crown Colony has many geese that like to stand in the driveway to slow down the traffic entering the complex.

Waiting- Day 332

After going to the Sandwich Glass Museum yesterday we drove to a parking lot under the Sagamore Bridge to see if we would luck out to get a beautiful sunset. The pre -sunset was better than the sunset. Always tomorrow.
