Watercolor Sketch

Lazing in the boat on a sunny afternoon in the heat and humidity of the dog days of summer made me think of when we lived in Florida.  It was so entertaining to watch the herons stalk fish and enjoy a sunny day while getting dinner.   Things were slow and life was easy!!

I love the view Helen painted in Gently Down the Stream.  
On a boat or raft on the river is my kind of fun.

A recent day trip to South Western Nova Scotia took us to Dennis Point, home to the largest commercial fishing wharf in Atlantic Canada. After a tasty lunch of the freshest fish around, we headed to the wharf so I could take photographs. With  Helen’s inspiration painting in mind, I concentrated on the bows of the fishing boats. I then became photo obsessed with the patterns of the ropes.

July Inspiration: Gently Down the Stream by Helen Eaton

Every so often a near-perfect day happens. The to-do list is blank, the weather is great, the scenery is beautiful, and the company is right.
When one of those elusive days comes along, embrace it fully!

An image like this makes me want to slow down, have a seat on the porch that's surely on the front side of this cabin, and then listen to some stories about way back when.

Life always seems more carefree in the sunny days of summer. Blue skies, warm breezes, and laundry dancing on the line.
