Summer in Bloom
the cove and salt marsh

Summer approached quietly and timidly this year with an end to spring that was chilly and rainy.
But now summer has decided to step up her presence and be a force to be reckoned with once again as temperatures climb higher here at the shore much to the delight of beach goers.
I am just as happy with the cool temperatures.

Here are some photos for Friday Foto Friends and Skywatch Friday.
Click on any photo to see it full sized.
I hope your skies are bright and sunny today and every day.


Pink sunset above the cedar tops in the salt marsh

Happy little clouds floating by at sundown

I took this from the front porch of my house looking up through the trees to the west at sunset



The cove here takes on all hues at sunset. Constantly changing.       Fish were jumping, happy with full tummies.



The neighborhood thru the greenery

Up close and personal view of the salt marsh. I found a baby mink here sunning himself one day. He was happy to see me, sweet little guy.

done up Polaroid style





Sparkles on the water dazzle the eyes.

Visitors come to spend the weekend in the cove



Meanwhile.. back at the ranch, I took the NERD test and found that I am a "mega-dorky nerd god". Okay.. I can deal with that.

  3. ALl of your photos are always beautiful, but I am especially partial to sunsets. The one photo looks like a painting (The Cove taking on all hues). A little mink! Cool. You never said how warm it is there, that is, unless I missed it twice.

  4. Wow...so many from which to choose...I have always liked to see fish jump, and I'm impressed that the baby mink was glad to see you... but, really, they're all lovely.
