Mole Crabs to Indian Pipes

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , on August 3, 2024| 12 Comments »

I took a lot of photos in July. The light was so wonderful. If you have questions about what you are seeing here, please let me know in the comments.

I’ll just point out a few things. I took a close-up of a hosta flower. They normally look so droopy. This perky one caught my eye.

The raised flower and vegetable beds were just inaugurated at my retirement community for the many residents with green thumbs. I visit the gardens most mornings and take in the lovely scents. Is anyone else enamored of the way tomato plants smell — the leaves, the stems?

I was wildly excited when a granddaughter dug up a mole crab at the beach. I hadn’t seen one in decades. On Fire Island we used to call them “jumpies.”

I love Indian Pipes, too.

I greatly appreciated all the birthday flowers — from my son-in-law and from a dear niece and nephew.

There’s a lovely new exhibit of paintings where we live. Notice the light on those buildings.

Also notice that a dirt road can make art, too. This dirt road makes leaf prints!

I look forward to comments.

Some Summer Photos

At Verrill Farm’s Sunflower Day, lovers of pick-your-own sunflowers benefit both themselves and the pediatrics unit of the local hospital.

It’s only August, so I’ll have more summer photos down the road, but I decided to share what I have today. This collection includes both inspiration from nature and quirky things that just call out for a picture.

When you wait in line at the big grocery store in New Shoreham, RI, if your eyes wander to the ceiling, you will note the shop’s unusual version of a seahorse. More like a mermaid horse than a real seahorse. At the island’s smaller market, I was drawn to an antique cash register.

An artisan at a craft show converted watering cans and lanterns into bird houses — whether for actual birds or just for display, I don’t know.

In the woods near Ben Wohlberg‘s gallery, there was a wooden sculpture like a signpost.

The stove-in double-ender on display at the historical society is in need of some love and attention. This was historically the kind of boat island fishermen used.

Next is one of the many old, unused outhouses on the island, followed by bird nests, also unused. Then a picturesque outdoor fireplace by a stone wall.

Moving on to Massachusetts, Indian Pipes, giant tomatoes at Verrill Farm, and the farm’s version of social-distancing guidelines.
