Yesterday afternoon, we took a ferry to Great Diamond Island, with friends Bonnie and Paul, for dinner at the Diamond's Edge. It was a warm, sun-filled afternoon and early evening on Casco Bay. After a brief stop at the bar for refreshments and a toast or two, we settled in at a white linen- covered table on the porch, overlooking the cove and the distant sailboats bobbing. We all agreed the word for our sojourn out to the island's restaurant, the weather, the delicious meal and company of best friends was, well perfect. Light was fading fast on our return trip to the ferry terminal, and some low banked clouds settling over the city provided for a stunning fading sunset over the Hill. Light's out!

Like the others, your day and evening sound great to me. Down here, yesterday was about as beautiful a day as anyone gets in the summer. Hope you had the same up there.
ReplyDeleteNow that could be a really old camera flash. When I first went to the Maine Media Workshops some old-timer said the townies in Camden and Rockland called the students Blue Dots, for the old Sylvania Blue Dot flashbulbs.
ReplyDeleteAnother great post.

An outing with friends is always nice. I like this shot.
ReplyDeleteLove this rusty porcelain shade shot, and your evening which you painted with words and made me feel like I was part of your dinner party...
ReplyDeleteWell I"m envious of that outing as well. That light, well you made something so simple into a piece of art.

I love this photo; something about the rust on the white gives it a lot more character than a simple lamp/light fixture.
