Summer 2011

Happy Hour at Bill's, LBI

Sailboats and sky

Sunsets

Bill's famous rum punch (only two per happy hour)

You can feel the storm approaching

Always sharing great food

What's a bar without Tiki tacky?

Always sharing the day's beach & sailing tales

The first wedding of the youngest generation

Waiting their turn

Their vows - the night & the height of Hurricane Irene

What hurricane?

The lovely bride

The lovely mother-of-the bride

Starting to really party

Reception at The Community Art Center - Media, PA

A fun mother & daughter

A family reunion

Cousins

The end is near

Sanderlings on a deserted beach

So long 'till next summer

Such awesome beauty right to the end

glistening sea
once a sandcastle
stood this ground

So long beach - see you next year

Summer ripens

An egret wades ashore

Gathering storm

Family & friends

The sky celebrates

Sharing gifts from the sea - Fourth of July 2011

BloHaiSis's

Yesterday I received a great Valentine's Day gift from a new poet friend. I was inducted into the BloHaiSis's group. The BloHaiSis's is short for Blogging Haiku Sistahs which is an offshoot of NaHaiWriMo or National Haiku Writers Month (February) which itself was spawned by NaWriNoMo (or something like that). As far as I know, Grace Mattern and I are the only two members. I'm also not sure if this is an open or closed group - probably to be determined. (I have tried now for twenty minutes to add her link but am giving up before I toss the computer). I will type it out in longhand: www.thepremiseisgrace.wordpress.com.

Thank you to Grace and all my fellow haigin, poets and writers for sharing, caring and commenting.
