Adams Shore Beach - Day 253

It's not easy being a photographer some days. I have an order for a photo, waited for sunshine and a few clouds. I got to the sight and never thought about high tide taking the beach away. Always tomorrow.

Santa Waiting - Day 249

I went to the South Shore Plaza this afternoon to pick up a few things. Would you believe I told the chanel lady the make-up was to expensive and I didn't buy it. I must be ill. Thank goodness I know a Mary Kay rep that I will be calling soon. A bottle of chanel moisturizer was $175 dollars. I will be deteriorating fast. Maybe I should have asked Santa for it.

I am still not use to the trains coming through the back roads from Braintree to Scituate.

What a great day we had today. The Hull Artists Studio Connection was part of the Hull Chamber of Commerce Holiday Showcase. We were given the Hull High School Library to show our artwork in. The library worked perfectly. We hired the Skyland Jazz Band to set the mood of an art gallery. Everyone that entered the Library loved the music and art.

Last 5 minutes of Sunshine - Day 245

I had a busy day today getting ready for the Holiday Showcase . At 4pm today we could set-up for tomorrow. By the time I arrived in Hull the sun was setting quickly. I got this photo minutes after sunset.

Last of the Leaves - Day 243

Looking around the yard today I noticed most of the leaves have fallen off the trees. A few leaves are still on one tree in the front yard. But after last nights heavy rain and the wind right now it's leaves will only be here a few more hours. So sad.

Could be Ireland - Day 241

But it isn't. It's the back door entrance to John Quincy Adams birthplace, on Franklin Street in Quincy.

Everyone Stops - Day 241

If you were just 5 minutes earlier you could have made it over the Fore River Bridge. It takes about 20 minutes for the bridge to go up, let the ship pass and go back down again when you get there to late. The bridge that is there now is a temporary erector set. The new permanent bridge will start to be built next year and should be completed by 2014.

Nancy's Space - Day 238

Paula and I shared a room this evening at Beth York Real Estate offices. It was a great party and met many nice people that liked my photography and Paula's jewelry. Most of my photos are of Quincy and Nantasket which I was concerned about. I did do a couple photos shoots in Hanover for the show over the last few weeks. Would you believe the Quincy and Nantasket shots sold the best. Quincy and Nantasket seems to bring fond memories back to many South Shore people.

Hull Garden Club gave Roses to Veterans - Day 237

Pugsley Seems Bored - 232

I think we are boring Pugsley with our routine. He slept in our bed until 8am this morning. He has been great but I'm sure he can't wait until tomorrow when Bill & Jen return. They are a lot more fun to be with.

Pugsley has been so good I wish Cleo and him could be friends. Now I have to find a way to get Cleo back in the house after letting her out for some sunshine.

Tree Arrived - Day 230
