Romantic Picnic by the Sea

Hello everyone,

       It was a beautiful day here today ,sunny and warm- so I thought it would be a lovely day for a picnic.

Fort Amherst is about a 30 minute drive from our home and it is a beautiful provincial park overlooking the Charlottetown harbour.

Every picnic needs a little bouquet!

Did you notice the lovely old lighthouse in the background?

Strawberries,cupcakes and tea with a lovely old postcard from a friend.

Some biscuits with your tea?

It is a peaceful place to sit and read for awhile! I could not resist buying this dreamy hat when we were in Charleston last year.-it came from TJMaxx. I have natural curly(fuzzy) hair so I love to wear hats in the garden to hide my hair. Just as red hair was the bane of Anne in Anne of Green Gables existence curly(fuzzy) hair is mine!Ha!Ha!

or just gaze at the view

Daydream while you enjoy a cup of tea!

My husband took the pics that I am in.

Thank you for visiting me today- I hope you enjoyed this romantic little picnic as much as I did.
I am joining Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday today where will be lots of pretty tablescapes.

Playing with Snowballs

Hello everyone,

    I hope you are all enjoying these last few days of June and the start of summer. I was supposed to be getting ready for a few tours coming up shortly but instead I started playing with snowballs. These pretty snowballs from the viburnum bush are sitting on my windowsill and they were looking so charming I had to grab my camera and capture the moment!

For those of you who don't know I use a Canon Rebel xti and my husband bought me a macro lens for it last year for my birthday. So today I dug out my tripod-I am really lazy about using it but it is hard to keep the camera steady enough with the short depth of field using a macro. Besides I plan to discipline myself this summer to use  the tripod more.

Snowballs in the garden.

Snowball up close and personal.

I am wishing I knew how to do antiquing layers on these. Someday,I will have to study up on that!

Remember 'a thing of beauty is a joy forever' but only if you capture it with your camera lens first!

Now, I'd best get back to work!

Enjoy your day.
