SSH Softball Champions

We are the champions!!! Okay, well not me personally.....but the Nutrition and Food Services Dept of the hospital has won the Softball Championship......they played their final playoff game last night. The trophy was proudly displayed at work today and I'm very proud of my "team" members and happy for their win. Here are a few of them along with the trophy. Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this winning season!

Queen Anne's Lace Bud

Day 120/365

I never knew that there was a pink variety of Queen Anne's Lace. I need to get out more.......I wonder what other things are around me that I am not aware of! *wink* But seriously, I had to look it up and discovered that the buds can be pink and usually change to white, but not all of the time. Sometimes they can stay a light pink color.


And now I know!

Approaching Storm

Day 119/365

Got rocked out of bed at 6:40 this morning by a severe thunderstorm. A telephone pole up the street from me was hit by lightning. Scary stuff. But then the sky cleared and we had a beautiful day......up until the past hour when we dodged a big bullet here in my town. A severe thunderstorm passed by just North of us. But for a short time the sky started looking very ominous and scary. so I took a quick picture with my cell phone out my front door. You can see those black clouds approaching.


All is well now!

Sunflower Season

Day 118/365

One of my favorite things to do during the month of August in New England is to visit the local farm stands. The produce is always freshly picked and delicious. I usually visit the farm stands at least twice a week during this month. Besides the delicious produce, I LOVE to buy the sunflowers that grow at the local farms. I bought myself some yesterday and they are so beautiful.

Herring Gull

Day 117/365

Just a simple image of a Herring Gull. What I like about this image is the warm light as the sun was setting......his little foot in the walking position, the small wave breaking in the background, and the way the wind is blowing his feathers on his head.. Also, get down low. This image would not be the same if I shot this while standing up. Simple everyday subjects can sometimes be overlooked, but they still can make some nice images. I hope you agree

Sunset From Hull Gut

Day 116/365

Beautiful sunset taken from Hull Gut the other evening. Here is the progression of the sunset. When we arrived the sun was low in the sky and just coming out from under the cover of a cloud. I loved seeing the rays coming out from the top of the cloud.


Sun getting a little lower in the sky as this sailboat passed by.


And lower again as this Coast Guard boat came along.


And finally the sun setting over Boston. Love how the colors changed to a pink and purple hue.
