Welcome to Week 41 – O Week: Pearls' Coastal Capers! Featuring: Opal, Old, Orange, Outdoor OPAL A pretty opal pink shrub in bloom outside of one of my favorite stores this past June. OLD FISHERMAN'S LANDING You've heard of “having one's ducks in a row”. How about swans in a row?! Photo taken last Saturday at Old Fisherman's Landing on Kelly's Pond. ORANGE An unremarkable photo, I know. Just a bunch of pumpkins piled up outside of a store. But the backstory is what draws me into this photo. This is the neighborhood “mom 'n pop” grocery store, located (surprisingly) right across the street from a big chain grocery store where I used to do all of my grocery shopping. Then came the pandemic and in an effort to stay out of big, crowded places I switched to this neighborhood store. Now when I go into this little store I am reminded of what a journey it has been to navigate the challenges of the pandemic, and how grateful I am that the positivity rate is falling in my area and people seem to be returning to many of their pre-pandemic activities. OUTDOOR DINING These days, “outdoor dining” conjures up images of vinyl tents on city streets, filled with patrons wearing coats and only briefly un-masking to chow down. Not my kind of outdoor dining. This photo shows the kind I like! In fact on opening day this spring I'll be there ordering my soft serve to enjoy at one of the tables or to carry across the parking lot to the benches overlooking the beach. Thanks for joining me for Pearls' Coastal Capers - “O week”! A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

Thanks! Yes, Kelly's Pond is part of a big estuary system and from what I've read the area is home to bluefish, perch, bass, clams, mussels, scallops, oysters, and more! A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

THE SEASCAPE IS QUITE STRIKING. WE HAVE A FEW SWANS HERE AND SOMEHOW OR OTHER THREE OF THEM GOT INTO THE MED A FEW MONTHS AGO. THEY DIDN'T SEEM BOTHERED BY THE SALT WATER AT ALL BUT WE WALKERS WERE VERY SURPRISED TO SEE THEM.

Beautiful "O" photos, Pearls. The first and second photos are my favourite. I love flowers and swans. Oudoor dining is lovely on a nice bright mild day, not for me in winter.

An enjoyable walk-about with you, as usual. I like those pink flowers, they remind me of the wild rambling rose that grows around here.... and of SPRING!!! I remind myself that Spring is coming, as I sit here and listen to the cold winds blow. Oh, I chuckled at your comment about the winter in NH.... that was where Joe was living and after one nasty snow that almost caved in his carport, he asked his sister here in Illinois how much snow we get in a winter. It's far less than he got in NH, so it was a draw for him to move here, and also to be near his sister. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
