sharleenstuartTell me a story: November 2018
Posted on November 30, 2019
Life is hectic, Thanksgiving has come and gone and the blog goes live tomorrow. Work is gearing up to d-day in 10 days and so my time has become somewhat limited. Christmas decorations need to go up this weekend and the blog needs to be done.
In all of this busyness, Richard, knowing that I needed some down time suggested we head to the beach to watch the sunrise and then go for breakfast, knowing that once I got home I had work to do. He even chose to go to my favorite beach.
As most of you know early morning is really not my thing, but the moon was pretty cool this particular morning and as it has been for the rest of the week. Last night I was able to identify Venus and Saturn floating around the moon. I love this pier and the early morning sky was pretty spectacular as the sun was coming up. This particular morning the reflections on the edge of the waves was pretty neat.
I really wanted to finish up the Boston blog but that was not happening for me this week. So the morning on the beach is what I have to offer. I have to be honest Richard was right, I needed that time to decompress.
Thank you for joining me this month as we spend time sharing another day in our lives. This is a circle blog. Take some time to view what the other artists have for you this month. Mindy Sauvageau is up next and I can’t wait to read what she has to share.
Sharetographers: July 2015: Smooth
Posted on August 4, 2015
Sharetographers topic this month is smooth and for most of the group summer has been happening. We have had guests from out of country and life has been a little hectic. We have 24 days to my son getting married and about double that before my daughter leaves to join the Peace Corp and will be gone for at least 27 months. Smooth probably is not what is happening now.
In the midst of all of that transition, we took a day at the beach with family who were in town from Australia, and it was great to chill and do nothing but float in the waves. Did I say waves? The water was smooth, reminded me of a pond, and attempting to use the paddle board as a surf board was a joke, but Amy gave it her best try.
I had a little point and shoot Cannon underwater camera and we went into the waves to play.
Here are my six images for the topic smooth.
Attempting to get a partial under water and above water image.
Walking on smooth water. Amy gets the feel of what it is like to stand on a paddle board
Hanging out waiting to catch a wave.
The paddle board quickly becomes a surf board but the water is like glass and not a lot was happening.
Apparently surfing was not happening so she just floated in the waves for a while.

Take the rough with the smooth,
happy with the sad,
remember who you are,
and be grateful for what you have.

I am so very grateful for the family, they soothe my soul, bring calm in the disruption, and give me just a little taste of what home used to be like. We are scattered across the continents and it looks like the scattering will go a little further when Amy leaves, but there is nothing that can replace family. They are the very core of who you are.
