Here's some shots from the last few weeks. Quite a combination of different things. Starting a few weeks back when we actually had some sunshine.

The Nubble in the sun.


Some shots from around the house when spring finally arrived.

Thanks Cecil!

I can smell your flowers, Cecil. Great shots. That's the only thing I miss about a true spring, the azaleas, the jonquils, the tulips. I swear I will find a way to grow them here, even if they have to live in my freezer all winter!

Thanks for sharing. I love the smiling bee.

This is the bane of New England, the gypsy moth, and eats everything it touches. I took the picture for fun but when I looked I thought it was quite pretty.


Two weeks ago Jay graduated from college.




Then on Mother's Day we went to the York Harbor Inn for brunch.


Then to the Nubble.

Nice weather that weekend. We set all time records for rain and many towns flooded.

Then this last weekend which was a three day weekend.

Here's some friends from Saturday.


A friend from Sunday


then a friend from Monday.

Yes, a boat, lake and beach/dive weekend. You wonder why I love new England. Here some more from that W/E.

Families at the lake.




Skate


Lobsta


Anemone

Oops I did promise some Spam. Here's dinner.

I can smell that last one, too. lol

Cecil, you're a great photographer and know how to find the color/contrast. Your photos are great. I accuse my husband of being a picture taking fool, too. But I have to admit, he's getting good. Having a better camera than me helps! (but I've got the "eye") ;)

And congrats to your son, and you and your wife for getting one thru!

Oh, and I like your lobsters better than ours. Ours don't have claws (thank goodness, on lobstering dives!)

Oh boy so many neat pictures - Cecil thanks a bunch. Jay is good looking, too!!!

Cecil
Great Pic's - WOW
And congrats to Jay - it's all very exciting (and exhausting)!
That skate looks really big
Love the bird shots too
Thanks for sharing

Ok Cecil - it was only a year ago when you posted Jay's high school graduation..... Wasn't it?! I can't believe how much time has flown by on BT! We're literally watching these kids grow up in cyberspace! (Didn't he go to Embry Riddle?) What's next for him?

And how is it that you have an azalea surviving a New England winter? I never remember azaleas growing in Connecticut. They tell us here that we can have tulips and daffodils here, but that we have to take the bulbs up and refrigerate them all winter to force blooms in the spring - too much trouble!

I love the last shot of the boats and shoreline - I do miss New England in the summer. Thanks for sharing.

Fabulous pictures as always, Cecil. I'm anxious for the day I get to meet you and Sue in person, as I feel I've known you both forever! I bet you are both so very proud of Jay...what is next for him??

I love the Nubble pics, but can't figure out if I like it better in the bright sun or in the overcast/wind. It's just beautiful either way... and in the winter, too !!!

Keep the pics coming.

Nice review of your week Cecil! Thanks for posting some fun and beautiful pics! YGM!

Thank-you for sharing your photos!!

Thanks all. Jay graduated from high school 4 years ago, time does fly. He went to Daniel Webster College, it was my son Shawn that went to Emory Riddle although he graduated from ISU. Jay is going on for is Masters, so there will be another graduation in a couple of years.

The skate was a normal sized adult skate maybe 3'across.

Cecil, you do know that eating SPAM can cause drain bamage?

Cecil, great pics. Congrats to Jay Time does fly doesn't it! Did you use the dry suit again this time?

Kelly, Cecil is a great guy... we share the same birthday (along with Grant)

Cecil
Fantastic pics!! Do you give lessons??

Great pics. It has been so rainy here that it's great to see some bright pictures. Congrats to Jay. That is very exciting!

What a lovely way to start the day, what beautiful photo's! (I could have done without the one of SPAM! LOL) I am anti SPAM!!!

Great shots, Cecil!!!! The bug is incredible!
