Postcard from Paris
A quick photo taken from in front of our hotel. 24 hours plus of travel mean we're ready for dinner and an early night. The weather is drizzly but not too cold.
Hanging on to Summer
Here we are. The great blue bowl of September skies covers us in the afternoons. The first day of this month was a great day to pile 6 adults and 2 children into the boat and take a short ride to Sidney Island for a day of sun and sand.
Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting Ralph Waldo Emerson
Together we walked along the wooded trail to the walk-in campsite, then circled around to the other side of the small island, took steps back down to the beach and meandered back along the sand. Water + sticks + sand + children = unending entertainment.
Sticks and sand also provided entertainment for our son, who found this pointy-headed creature and thought he needed sunglasses.
Not even a hint of wind ruffled the tidal pools in the morning. Calm waters and perfect reflections hint at the resignation of summer's soon end. Meanwhile, we soak in the sun and delight in the thought of cooler nights.
Go out, go out, I beg of you, and taste the beaut…
