    Good grief! I just realized that I never 'visited' you from you ABC Weds visit!! I don't think I saw your link on the ABC roster and every time I sat down at the computer, I'd get sidetracked!
    Anyway, I love that photo with the sunset and the sailboats-just gorgeous!!
    Getting geared up for SSS tomorrow which should be challenging (again) to post since I'm also at an all day conference.
    Hoping your are having a loverly week!

    Beautiful shots. And the colour of the water in the first shot is amazing. It looks like sand!

    Thank you for watching my son's drumming. I was thrilled to read about your son too! Holding a position like that and still so passionate about drumming!!

    Another one of your beautiful series of shots accompanied by great quotes. You get the prize for the best quotes of all the bloggers I visit :-) That first shot brings back memories of views of Mt. Baker and Mr. Ranier. I felt lucky this year. All the little sailboats are so pretty on the water. genie
