iPhoneography: Beachin' collages

It's a beautiful, sunny, but very windy Sunday here in the Northeast. This morning my daughter Elise, her boyfriend, and I all volunteered to help out with one of the water stops at the 'Chief Maloney Memorial Run/Walk'. Chief Maloney was shot and killed in the line of duty on April 12th, the week before he was set to retire. It's been a rather emotional experience for many of the locals. Things like that just don't happen here. Nor should they happen anywhere.

Needless to say it was a great morning! Everyone was up beat, friendly and positive. Willing to do whatever it took to make the run/walk a success. My husband decided to run the race and out of over 2,000 people he came in 29th! The man can move I tell ya!

After a quick nap, a cup of coffee, and a little collage work it's off to the gym for me. What are you up today?

I had fun making the bottom collage on Picmonkey. They don't offer collages yet but if you want to know how to make one manually just head on over to Ashton's blog post on Something Swanky. That girl is one smart cookie!

Till next time, thank you all for the warm response you've given me after being away for so long! It's a real boost to keep me going. My other blog, The Sweetest Days, has a new post as well which you can view here or at the top right of my blog.

Morning light for Mosaic Monday

The colors, shades, and textures of the new day are all around us to be savored and enjoyed. No matter where you live the first morning light is inspirational.

When you arise in the morning,
think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive -
to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love."

~Marcus Aurelius

Broken, devoured clams lay out along the beach wall. Evidence that the Gulls have had a morning meal to fill their bellies.

'Seagull you fly across the horizon into the misty morning sun
Nobody asks you where you are going
Nobody knows where you're from . . .'

And the winner of the Sand Sculpture Contest is . . .

I know these aren't the best pictures but everytime I go down to Hampton Beach it's been foggy or hazy so I did what I could.

Yeah, I'm not so sure the Blossom sculpture should have won either, but it is different. Goodness knows there is a lot of work in all of them! Tomorrow, June 28th, is the last day they will be on display. After that all sculptures will be demolished due to safety issues.
