Visitors
to the SURPRISE. 2012.
No “Festival of Sail” for me this year. I haven’t missed one in years, but I’m not
quite ready to clamber around 20 tall ships however much I want to. Instead, over this weekend, I will share with
you some of the shots I’ve taken over the years. Please enjoy.
Masts,
lines, shrouds, and all the other bits of sailing. 2011.

Footnotes:
Himself: Did pretty good with chattering
women visitors yesterday. I so hope his
bosses understand his work breaks and interruptions. He’s starting early today then this afternoon
taking me to the first doctor’s appointment.
Herself: The Knox books still read good. Ordered two omnibus volumes of 3 each
Hillerman’s from Abe Books yesterday.
$7.90 total plus free shipping. I
love Abe Books. Cancelled Mystery Guild
Membership via email. Had two wonderful
visitors from the pool. Such happy
folks. Printed out all those lists to
take to new doc.
Reading: A second Knox.
Balance: Getting this first doc appointment out of the way.
Loved the photos. I pretended I could hear the snap of the sails and the cries of the sea gulls and smell the water.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this look at previous events. I could feel the breeze and savor the distinctive scents from combo of sun, water and vessels. Evocative images.

She's a very good photographer, and that is her photo.
Great photos of the sails. We get a few of those celebrations here and I try to go, but something always seems to come up.
ReplyDeleteCatching up with you after being absent from the computer for a couple of days. I am glad you are still mending and getting bored. That can indicatae healing but also indicate you should be careful not to get so bold physically! I know you know this.
ReplyDeleteNo I doubt going braless gives on cysts. I had one in my jaw?
ReplyDeleteI belonged to the Mystery Guild for a few years. No longer belong to any guild. I have also purchased used books from Abe.
Love the photos, especially the 'Welcome Home' sign.

No climbing around on ships! Not for a couple more days at least!
ReplyDeleteYou do take the most incredible photos of ships, Mage! And you have such gorgeous days for it.
