This fun and challenging meme is hosted each week by Tracy over at Hey Harriet! Click on the link under the blog title and sign up to play!!

Our weather continues to be gorgeous, warm, sunny, but with the nightmare of Irene along the entire east coast, it's a little difficult to not feel guilty that things here -- so far   --  have been so uneventful weather-wise! My shadows for today are from the roof to the beach, to the art show and back home!!
I wish you all a wonderful weekend. I'm holding good thoughts for all of you in Irenes path!

Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.  Louis E. Boone

Summer was late in coming, but we have had such beautiful weather the past week! And wouldn't you know? As soon as it reached 80 degrees everyone around here started complaining about the heat!! Ah, we humans are never satisfied!!  Wishing you all a beautiful weekend, safe from hurricanes and tornadoes, forest fires and flooding!!! It has been a year for it all!!

Because of the very lovely weather we've had recently, the sunsets have been pretty dull, no clouds, no dramatic colors etc. But I happened to glance up from my desk a couple of nights ago and these are the skies I saw!! I took these over a period of about a half hour and they were amazing! Hope you enjoy! Wishing you all a beautiful weekend!

My World!

As you know, we will no longer be hosting My World as it was Klaus Peter's project from the beginning and it will go with him. I just thought that I would continue to share some of my favorite places with you -- not in a meme, but just on my blog on Mondays, in memory of Klaus.

This past weekend I went with a group to a place called Warli. It is across the Sound from Seattle. It is surrounded by mountains on one side and the city on the other. There are beautiful beaches, gorgeous flowers and delightful places to eat. It was a fun day, as you can see here!!
