My Serenity Place

Unfortunately the camera fails to capture the magic. :)

We have a huge area of our yard “fenced.” This keeps the critters out and the dogs safe. It also helps stave off the relentless encroachment of the forest. What can I say? Nature lives to go forth and multiply!

Anyhoo, we expanded the fencing an additional 6’ back and 6’ to one side and when we did I discovered this lovely sun-dappled view. The light plays through the tree tops so it dances about on the forest floor and the birdsong is wonderful. I took the picture through the fence. I want to put one of those benches that converts to a picnic table there so I can enjoy the view and read and journal in warm weather.

Great Duck Island

We've been on Great Duck Island since Tuesday morning. Unfortunately my 4G service is useless. I don't want to eat up all the data on the house owner's account so that's why I've not finished the detox exercise series.

Below is the view off one of the balconies. This morning we watched porpoises swimming of that balcony. No pictures though because we were using binoculars. I have many better pictures but they're on my phone and I can't seem to up load them. We've hiked to the other side of the island twice. It's amazing here. I can't tell you how restful it is to fall asleep to the crashing waves.
