Lobster Boat Collecting Traps at Sunset on the Bay of Fundy

Posted by Ellie

Last weekend we were with our friends sitting on the shore of the Bay. We watched one lone lobster boat make its way across the scene in front of the setting sun, picking up its traps as it went. The bright white and blue lights on the little boat seemed to glow brighter as the scene got darker. I was reminded of a scene that my Finnish friend +Mari Luukkonen had posted the day or so before. It doesn't matter where we are in the world, such scenes speak to all of us.

Have a lovely, peaceful weekend, all!

Breaking the Fall-144/365

Posted by Ellie

I have got myself into a downward spiral of not publishing my photos. They might not seem 'good enough' or it might be that I don't want to show one more floral image, or I might be too tired (most frequent) or it might be too late. Whatever the reason, I knew I had to break the cycle and just upload and share. This peony, one of my favourite flowers, was resting on the path, so splendid in its unfurling pinkness, so sweet in its wonderful perfume, it too easily might have been trodden underfoot. It's just as lovely as those standing proud above it. So (for my friend Joyce) here it is. 😀

Blackberry Promise-142/365

Posted by Ellie

This flower, from a wild blackberry just seems like a tiny world, so much going on, the closer you look. And this holds the promise of fruit for the summer. It's going to be a good year for them as they are everywhere in the hedges and at the edge of the woods. Plenty for the birds and us to eat and freeze.

Aquilegia (Columbine)-141/365

Posted by Ellie

Sometimes you just have to get down at ground level and look up to see the best things. These hang their heads and so the only way to see them and appreciate their full beauty is to do just that. I love Aquilegia, (Granny's Bonnet, or Columbine). These grow randomly in our gardens and self-set in clusters that surprise us early each summer.
