Our Word View - Delicious

What is Our Word View?  A collaboration between two friends who lost touch over the years but have reconnected online.  We share a love of the ocean, photography, quotes, animals and family.  Often times our photographic interpretations for the word of the week are very similar.

This week  the word delicious was chosen for our photographic interpretation.  I hope you will go over to Our Word View and see what Liz shares this week. 

There are so many ways to go with an interpretation of the word delicious.  I have many photos capturing the birthday cakes I have created for my family over the years, then there are the pictures of the treats n and I enjoy from Cupcake Charlie's and we can't forget the images I have taken of Nanny's bread.  When I chose delicious as our word for this week my original intention was to try to do some baking.  Well that didn't happen.   After scrolling through many images I came across an image of my Dad working on on of the two big clambakes we hosted at my childhood home when I was young.  What an amazing feast we had on those occasions!  Lobster, corn, clams, chowder and many grilled delectables.  I have such fond memories of those parties.  We must have had over a hundred people attend.  Family and friends came from far and wide.  I can not take photographic credit for these images.  I am fairly certain they were taken by my cousin TK.  She was then and remains a skilled photographer.  

Those were the days!

Peace!

Beautiful Words

The truth is we all ache.

We all have growing pains

and wonder if we are

okay and enough and loved.

The thing is – we are.

Really.

Without our silver shoes

and leopard print sheets.

We are enough without

all the things we buy

to make us much more

than we are or need to be

We are simple

and complex

and Rare

as is.

This week  the word coastline was chosen for our photographic interpretation.  I hope you will go over to Our Word View and see what Liz shares this week. 

I love how the coastline can take on so many different forms.  There are parts of the beach that I walk that are lined with homes harkening back to a bygone era.  Other areas are sheer cliffs that feel miles away from civilization.  Today I share pictures that feel very nostalgic.  They remind me of my childhood visits to the beach where I shot these photos.

Our Word View - Beautification

This week  the word beautification was chosen for our photographic interpretation.  I hope you will go over to Our Word View and see what Liz shares this week. 

Often times you can wander around an historic town and see where beautification projects have been completed.  

Along the main stretch of road that goes into town sits three 'lobster shacks' across from our main beach.  These shacks have been in this spot longer than I can remember.  According to our local paper at least one of the shacks dates back to the early 1890's.  Just recently there has been very real talk about demolishing the lobster shacks.  Locals have raised there voices in protest.  Now the town is trying to figure out just how to beautify and preserve this piece of local history.   

I think there is something extraordinarily beautiful about these structures.  

Peace!
