Bonjour dear Sylvia!
ReplyDeleteIt's an important day and this post is wonderful to celebrate with beautiful pictures and good energies.
That seagull is adorable!
Lovely shots!

happy memorial day to you, Sylvia

I hope you're enjoying a wonderful Memorial Day holiday. I like the pictures you got at the waterfront, but that sunset is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAh, how fondly I remember Ivar's Acres of Clams! Your views are lovely. By the way, we always seek out the rare gray days here in the desert for photography, since the usual glaring light is much too harsh and flat.
ReplyDeleteYour photo of the flowers is just lovely--the surrounding grays really make those colors pop.
Yes, I agree with the above comment. That flower pot is simply beautiful, especially since it was such a grey day.
ReplyDeleteLove the view from your office, Sylvia.
lovely photos, specially the gull, they always have such character!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see your world contains flowers too now.
ReplyDeleteOn the waterfront even the greyest day can be satisfying.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots, also of your view.
Hope you are having a great start to the week . . . Arija
I like that seagull and your wonderful skyview.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great memorial day.
Best wishes from Norway:-)
Great post and quotes!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteWonderful variety of images.
ReplyDeleteHappy memorial day.
I love the changing sky views from your window, Slyvia! It must be very inspiring. Also, love the gray day by the pier/waterfront. It reminds me of home. Mist lends a sense of mystery to the scene. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos Sylvia and such a colourful sky you have outside your window :)
ReplyDeleteHope you will have a sunny great week!
I'm sorry you had gray skies for your waterfront time but the shots are as usual lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhere there's food there's seagulls! Love you view out the window Sylvia, and that's a super new header! Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteYou do have a great view from your window. Not all was gloom I see, the clouds cleared enough to allow a great sunset.
ReplyDeleteSylvia, your day is calm and gentle. Especially I love the first photo. Sea gulls are cute and lovely. This place seems to be the paradise of birds. All are great shots.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day.
Wonderfully moody and misty shots.
ReplyDeleteLove the cool, gray feeling with splashes of color. Personally I'd like to skip our hot summers and just have days like this all year long!
ReplyDeleteSylvia,
ReplyDeleteI love the sunset photo; or it could be the sun rise; whichever-it is beautiful!
Did I tell you I think your new header is super!? I hope you are having a wonderful day!
Hi there - good to see that gulls are a world constant - always dropping in to see if they can steal some food!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.

You made life feel better again. Thank you.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good Tuesday.

I'm beginning to recognize the pattern of the trees on the horizon outside Sam's bedroom, Sylvia. What great skies you see.
ReplyDeleteAnd lunch at Ivar's! Oh, I can almost taste the clams!

That's an intense poem at the top of your blog. The sun is our hope--always a new day. But when it's absent, it's very, very absent.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are gorgeous.
Beautiful as always. Just as you are a beautiful human being.

ReplyDeleteAnother new and lovely header photo. I love the one sitting there.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely arrangement of flowering plants.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very nice and varied collection of photos today, Sylvia.
ReplyDeleteSorry it was so "gray" when you went down to the waterfront, but you still got some great shots anyway. Cute gull--they aren't known for their shyness! You do seem to be surrounded by a beautiful sky most of the time. Another week--have a nice one. Mickie ;)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to see the setting sun from your window!
ReplyDeleteEven gray skies are beautiful with the scenery in your world, Sylvia. I'm in OR now, and we've been having lovely gray skies, too!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your outing, but you made the best of it. I loved flower in the container. My wife, Heather, is the queen of container gardening.
ReplyDeletesuch a pretty sunset!
ReplyDeletebrilliant captures all!!
ReplyDeleteI love how the weather added to the atmosphere of the photos. I really like the one of the dock/pier and it is hazy out in the distance! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteThe skies seen out of your window are gorgeous. I'll never get tired of looking at ever-changing skies.
ReplyDeletei had dinner at Ivar's, too, when i visited Seattle.:p it's good to see the colors from the window.
ReplyDeleteDespite the grey weather it still looks beautiful and I love the view from Sam's bedroom, ... sorry your office !
ReplyDelete1st photo, Which terrorist put that obstruction at the TARMAC?
ReplyDeleteSea breeze, seagulls, a beautiful sky, flowers, what more can you ask to find the beauty.
ReplyDeleteNice entry.
Greetings .-
Lovely portfolio of photos, Sylvia. I feel like I've had a walk around your world. Hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sequence of photos. Beautiful frames. My favorite of the first with such elegance and balance on the beam as a gymnast. Saludos.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are such a lovely bright spot of color!
ReplyDeleteCould and rain make us green with beautiful spring flowers. Hard to get upset with that. - Margy

Message from the seagulls
ReplyDeletePlaces bordering water ,
and
some bordering land,
Chain link fences :
separating,
those
that peacefully
sail through life,
enjoying
the company
of sometimes similar folks,
and those that
trespass
and cause trouble
in places
they shouldn't
be found in...
The bird of peace,
flew in
to urge the other
to vacate
the chair;
you didn't occupy
something meant for others....
The erring bird
agreed,
turned right,
and took off.
Unlike, some,
who trespassed ,
stayed put,
presumably hidden,
were warned,
and were finally shot away.
Really a nice post, Sylvia! Beautiful images and quotes!
ReplyDeleteisn´t springtime wonderful? I love it.
ReplyDeleteAnd today I love the new headerpic. Your friend is great to find so many shapes in the skies.
It would be great for Skywatch. :)
The seagull shot is fantastic and the new header is so cool and eye-catching!
