Seaside Saturday: Images of the Maine Coast ~ July 23rd

[view of shipping channel near Willard Beach, South Portland, Maine]

Like many parts of the country, Maine has been enduring some very high temps the past few days. Yesterday hit 101 in Portland, a record-breaker. And many Maine homes do not have air conditioning. Mine certainly doesn't. Anyway, I hope that wherever you are this weekend, you are able to stay cool and maybe even spend a little time by the sea. Have a wonderful weekend!

Wordless Wednesday ~ July 20th

Independence Day ~ July 4th

Here in the US, it's Independence Day, a popular summer holiday. And the time of year we associate with red...

white...

and blue...

Are you ready?

It's a good time to fly a flag (or two)...

Take a walk on the beach...

Dabble your toes...

Smell a beach rose...

Or maybe even create a sand turtle!

You can explore the road less traveled...

Visit a lighthouse...

Eat fresh veggies...

Work in the garden...

Or just stop and smell the flowers ...

And if you're lucky enough to own a boat, you can lift anchor and simply sail away!
