visually pleasing

2011-12-28T11:51:00.000-05:00

Such a pretty sky!

2011-12-14T11:48:00.000-05:00

Hard to hate a day that starts like this.

2011-11-28T18:04:00.001-05:00

Sometimes Monday morning starts out kind of pretty.

2011-01-16T20:11:00.002-05:00

We're buried in snow currently, but this is on a much better day.

2010-09-26T12:50:00.002-04:00

Missing very much the sound, smell, and view of this gorgeous blue.

2010-07-02T08:06:00.001-04:00

For Photo Friday, "Bloom"

2010-05-12T08:54:00.001-04:00

Nice bright day at the beach. For a little while I had it all to myself.

2010-05-07T08:43:00.001-04:00

This was the first time I've ever seen a cormorant that wasn't on Flickr and/or someone else' photo stream.

2009-03-27T12:10:00.001-04:00

The view from our hotel room in Egmond, Netherlands.

2009-03-25T12:06:00.001-04:00

Would love to see this view every day...

2009-03-23T12:02:00.002-04:00

An average work day, made better by noticing something as simple as this.

2009-03-21T11:58:00.002-04:00

Love the color of the water here, it's gorgeous!

2009-03-19T11:56:00.002-04:00

Whale watching veterans call this a "fluke".... I'm just glad we saw one.

2009-03-17T11:55:00.001-04:00

Gone but digitally remembered. Love roses.

2009-03-15T16:33:00.000-04:00

At the local pond.

2009-03-13T16:22:00.000-04:00

At a local pond.

2009-03-11T16:16:00.001-04:00

On a scenic drive...

2009-03-09T16:04:00.002-04:00

On a scenic drive.

2009-03-07T15:46:00.002-05:00

Ocean-seeking in Holland is fun. Lots of nice places to see. Like here in Domburg.

2009-03-05T15:41:00.002-05:00

A scan of the gorgeous view of Egmond, Netherlands.

2009-03-03T15:32:00.001-05:00

View from our hotel room in Egmond, Netherlands.

2009-03-01T15:26:00.002-05:00

Love this view...this is Egmond, Netherlands.

2009-02-27T13:02:00.000-05:00

My cousin took this one too... looks like you can reach up and touch the sky.

2009-02-25T13:01:00.001-05:00

My cousin took this one... what a great view!

2009-02-23T12:57:00.000-05:00

This has a peaceful feeling to it doesn't it?

2009-02-21T12:54:00.000-05:00

Love the blue hues...

2009-02-19T12:48:00.001-05:00

Amazing what difference a little sun can cause...

2009-02-17T12:47:00.000-05:00

Even the little waves sound good.

2009-02-15T12:44:00.000-05:00

Between storms...

2009-02-13T12:41:00.000-05:00

A moment of calm between storms.

2009-02-11T12:37:00.000-05:00

A little color is nice. I'm allergic to many flowers but these don't seem to bother me as much.

2009-02-09T12:32:00.003-05:00

2009-02-07T12:30:00.001-05:00

Can almost smell the salty air...

2009-01-25T14:27:00.001-05:00

Local duck pond, usually offers a lovely view like this. Of course... I don't see any ducks.

2008-10-09T18:37:00.001-04:00

How often do you notice the pink clouds in the sky? (or the purples, and oranges....pretty!)

2008-10-07T17:33:00.003-04:00

I keep this in my window, in case the power goes out. I have "green" energy in the palm of my hand. If I want to read or anything though, I'll need about 15 more. ;)

2008-10-04T17:31:00.003-04:00

While trying to catch the geese when they're doing their little shimmy, I caught a cool cloud or three instead. I'll take it.

2008-10-02T18:30:00.001-04:00

Don't you just love the colors of fall?

2008-09-30T18:01:00.002-04:00

Lovely sparkling day.

2008-09-28T17:21:00.000-04:00

Gray days are ok with me if I'm here...

2008-09-27T20:16:00.003-04:00

The photo is a little dark but it's a great memory for me. This is a view of the pier in Scheveninginen, The Netherlands.

2008-06-11T16:43:00.000-04:00

The illusion of solitude...

2008-06-08T14:12:00.011-04:00

These were taken through a screen I couldn't open. Happened during a thunderstorm, or rather, a break between storms. Nice. Much prettier in person unfortunately. Couldn't quite capture it.

2008-06-07T16:23:00.000-04:00

Pretty colors in this water. Taken along the coast of RI.

2008-06-06T16:37:00.004-04:00

Sometimes it's fun to live vicariously through your Caribbean traveling coworkers. My coworker took this somewhere in the Caymans*. Gorgeous water! Ooh!

2008-06-05T17:29:00.001-04:00

I thought this was a cool looking sky. Taken at a local pond. I like to watch the birds.

2008-06-04T17:46:00.002-04:00

The previous photo is the view from the water (the lighthouse), and here, the beautiful ocean view I love so much. Love the color of the water here. And all the waves.

2008-06-03T05:13:00.002-04:00

Normally the favored view is of the water but this time, no...this lovely lighthouse. My bf* took this cool shot from the beach in Egmond, Netherlands.

2008-06-02T05:05:00.000-04:00

Ahh, would be so nice to have this view out my front door all year round. Nice to dream!

2008-05-27T17:40:00.000-04:00

Can almost hear it, can't you?

2008-05-25T17:36:00.002-04:00

Love the different colors you can see in the water here. Gorgeous! My bf* took this one.

2008-05-23T18:37:00.000-04:00

Gorgeous view! Love the color of the water, and of course, those waves!

2008-05-21T18:04:00.000-04:00

Another one of those hidden gems... just a regular ol' parking lot. But what a view!

2008-05-19T17:58:00.000-04:00

I love those flower photos, particularly roses, where the petals look so thick that they seem like they're made of something else like sugar or silk. I almost managed a similar look here. (smidge blurry)

2008-05-17T00:38:00.003-04:00

Have to love digital....unlimited amount of shots (practically) just to get the one or two that come out. Now if only I could delete the ones that didn't!

2008-05-08T18:43:00.001-04:00

My bf* took this beautiful shot. Another from Misquamicut, RI.

2008-05-06T20:38:00.000-04:00

Near the public beach area in Misquamicut, RI is an overlook with a few parking spots to allow those lucky enough to find it, a few minutes to enjoy the wonderful view. I wonder if it's a "locals only" secret. I found it..but I look for such gems.

2008-05-04T20:34:00.001-04:00

I love the color of the water here. So pretty. If it weren't so cold the day we visited it would've been great to spend a few hours here.

2008-05-02T23:29:00.001-04:00

Lone footsteps in the sand... too cliche'? Ah well. You'd think we were alone on this beach (it was cold after all) but no, I just shot around the people. I like my ocean views people-free if possible.

2008-04-24T20:42:00.001-04:00

Love the foam. And the waves, and the color of the water. Hope to visit here again sometime soon.

2008-04-22T20:50:00.001-04:00

A calm afternoon along the coast.

2008-04-21T20:53:00.001-04:00

Love the color of the water. And the waves... !

2008-04-17T21:11:00.000-04:00

This is what I love... lots and lots of waves! It was a beautiful day!

2008-01-26T23:50:00.000-05:00

Yes, even when it's cold this beautiful view is always there... This is Kingston, Rhode Island. Would be nice to visit this place again soon.

2007-12-01T19:56:00.000-05:00

Love the color of the water here in Misquamicut, RI. Some days more green, some days more blue. Always gorgeous. Love the view!

2007-11-10T21:28:00.000-05:00

Loved this beautiful stretch of sand, an almost empty beach. Perfect spot to enjoy those gorgeous waves.

2007-10-28T15:41:00.000-04:00

Spent a few days at the beach recently. This is (a cropped) view from the porch. Loved being here. I wish I could listen to the sound of waves, all the time. Love it.

2007-10-27T22:07:00.000-04:00

Lovely view of the North Sea in Domburg, Netherlands. Gorgeous water. Love those waves.

2007-08-19T11:56:00.000-04:00

Hardly a wave or breeze but lots of pretty blues and grays. We're going here again soon.

2007-06-23T12:21:00.000-04:00

In Westkapelle, Netherlands... beautiful area. I really liked the foam here.

2007-05-02T18:23:00.000-04:00

A favorite view, always. Love the sound of the rushing water. Love the color too. Gray days are good for big waves. Well, if there's wind of course. This is Egmond, Netherlands. Loved the beach here.

2007-03-17T21:42:00.000-04:00

The view from our room in Egmond, Netherlands. I was trying to capture the gulls in flight. This is one of the near-misses. One in frame but far away. I like how it looks with the moon visible just behind its wing.

2007-02-24T14:27:00.000-05:00

Gorgeous view of the North Sea from a quick stop in Domburg*, a coastal town in The Netherlands.

2007-02-10T17:17:00.000-05:00

Taken at a local pond which is part time home to an assortment of ducks, geese, and seagulls. It's a pretty area, and I especially loved the sky on this particular day.

2007-01-27T20:36:00.000-05:00

Lovely calming view. Even when it looks silent, there is always the sound of waves. Love that.

2006-09-21T21:36:00.000-04:00

A little too calm but a pretty blue view. I enjoyed my time here. Even calm water has soothing waves, and I love the waves.

2006-08-28T20:10:00.000-04:00

Thought the sky and water looked so pretty here. Just too bad I couldn't hold the camera straight!

2006-08-01T21:46:00.000-04:00

Just after a small storm. Waves! Sure, little ones. But I love them anyway.

2006-06-26T19:50:00.000-04:00

Love the sound of the waves, even little ones. Very soothing. The view isn't bad either. For a few days, it was a great place to be.

2006-06-23T21:42:00.000-04:00

Loved this view. It rained earlier and the sky was just starting to turn bright again. Made for a very cool sky. Dark on one side and bright on the other with a little blue showing through.

2006-06-18T20:36:00.000-04:00

A heavenly view. Spent a few days with this lovely view. Forever wouldn't have been long enough. I love this!

2006-04-30T14:55:00.000-04:00

Now if I only had a rose... (probably good that I don't....) Just thought this came out great.

2006-04-09T13:42:00.000-04:00

I seem to have thing for flowers lately. And since it's Spring and they're starting to bloom (or already are in bloom), well... I did a little experimenting. I like it. (I just couldn't decide which I liked best)

2006-04-01T22:11:00.000-05:00

A beautiful spot in South Kingston, Rhode Island. I hope to visit here again.

2006-02-22T20:36:00.000-05:00

Just beyond a very busy Misquamicut, Rhode Island, we found this wonderful scenic spot, with (limited but free) parking. Definitely a good place to rest after a long drive. Nice area.

2006-02-04T18:42:00.000-05:00

A lovely view from our room. This is Egmond, Netherlands.

2006-01-28T12:38:00.000-05:00

It's warm enough today for a walk along the beach. I know it won't last (the warmth) but it's nice for now. Like the view here. Wouldn't mind being here right now.

2006-01-21T19:55:00.000-05:00

I take tons of photos of beautiful places like this (this is Egmond, NL) and then it feels like I had actually been there for a long time (weeks! if only!) when really it was just a day or 2 (once or twice).... the delusion of...paradise. I guess. I miss being here though. Miss the one I was there with, most especially.

2005-12-18T09:34:00.000-05:00

It looked like it would start raining any minute here in Watch Hill (MA). I don't think it did but it was exciting for a little while, all those waves and rocking boats so close to the road and where I was standing.

2005-12-12T20:48:00.000-05:00

This is a gorgeous shot my boss took from Aruba or the Cayman Islands or some other exotic place I've never been (but they go yearly, lucky them). Not one of mine! But ooh I'd love to go sometime. Until then I'll live vicariously through their tropical shots. Like this one!

2005-12-09T21:45:00.000-05:00

After all the shoveling today, this looks like a heavenly spot to rest. Like, until next Spring. (Is winter over yet? I've had enough!)

2005-11-27T19:07:00.000-05:00

After the snow and icy cold weather we've had recently, it sure would be nice to go back here where it was warm, breezy, and snow-free!

2005-11-02T06:33:00.000-05:00

It looks cold here. It wasn't then (July) but it probably is now. Still, a beautiful spot to enjoy the view.

2005-10-12T10:10:00.000-04:00

A beautiful view from the beach in Egmond, NL.

2005-10-03T06:41:00.000-04:00

Not far from a very busy Misquamicut, RI. It was pretty quiet here. Lucky for the residents who enjoy this view daily.

2005-09-19T06:41:00.000-04:00

Beautiful view of Kingston, RI.

2005-09-10T15:31:00.000-04:00

A beautiful view along the Rhode Island coast.

2005-08-28T19:31:00.000-04:00

A slightly different perspective...mere steps away from a cool dip and a gorgeous view.

2005-08-21T17:10:00.000-04:00

Beautiful Rhode Island coastline. Anxious to pay this particular spot a visit again. Gorgeous area.

2005-08-19T06:33:00.000-04:00

In the middle of nowhere (practically) we found a little surprise. (a place to park, and a nice view)
