I’ve been a bit out of the loop as we’ve been in Hawaii! It was really wonderful. Here are a few of my fave shots (click to enlarge):
Volcanoes at Volcano National Park
Petroglyphs that were located near our hotel on an ancient road
and – of course –
the beautiful beach!!

In keeping with the theme of critters in the backyard, here’s a family of turkeys that like to strut through once or twice a week!
We also have a lovely fox that comes through, but he’s much harder to catch on camera.

A couple of weeks ago my dear friend, Pat, and I went to Fruitlands, a museum in Harvard, MA (above). Fruitlands is one of the many places that the Alcotts lived (in 1842). It is so very beautiful there! We enjoyed the view, went through the Alcott farmhouse museum (red farmhouse down the hill) and the art museum, and ate lunch at their scrumptious cafe. They also have an emphasis and exhibits on Native Americans and on Shakers.
Here’s a robin, just taking off!
Here’s Pat posing by some art they had on display: metal dresses!

This past weekend, my husband and I went in to Boston on a little getaway and to see some exhibits. At the MFA we saw the Samurai exhibit:
It was quite impressive! I also couldn’t believe the pictures came out as I wasn’t able to use a flash and the lighting was actually low.
Then we also went to the MOS to see the Dead Sea Scrolls — really fascinating! I wasn’t allowed to take any pictures at all there though.
In keeping with my “odd things in hotel rooms” theme, here’s a picture of the mirror in our bathroom – complete with TV! We got Wimbledon coverage while we brushed our teeth. 🙂
While we were only gone 24 hours, it was nice to get away and also nice to get back.

On our trip to Florida earlier this year we had the most unique bath that I have ever seen. I could not figure out where the water came from as there was no true spigot into the tub, just handles on the wall marked “H” and “C”. Imagine my surprise when I turned one on and the water came from the ceiling!

Last weekend my best girl and I did a local 5K Color Run. If you’ve never heard or done one, they are a walk/run where every half mile you are squirted with colored cornstarch. It was quite fun and celebratory! The origins, as I understand them, are in the Indian celebration of the coming of spring (Holi) – the color is often called Holi color. We started off wearing white shirts and ended up quite multi-colored! 🙂
