Cherries For My Cherry Tree


George, a former co-worker of mine whose heart was in gardening and the donor of this lovely tree did say "Give it 2 years or so and it will give you cherries." 
Well, it's exactly around that time and almost like calendar work, they're here. I know this is one of those mundane things but how exciting it is for me that fruits are now growing among my plants! 
And they tasted sweet too!

Country Church


A historic church structure in Tallahassee, FL. I loved seeing this while on the road and on a Spring day with all the blooms, to boot!

Ikea Boy


This is the first-ever portrait of our newest cat Ikea Boy. He has been adopted from a family with 9 cats and we were happy that Ikea came to us. In no time did this feline charm our hearts to a melting point but only to the chagrin of our first baby Gata Girl who has been used to being the only cat for 7 years and is not about ready to relinquish the "alpha" title. Oh well, kids will be kids...

Maine

Maine is Beautiful, one of the 3 states in the US that I would voluntarily live in. I like the quaintness, the New England appeal, the seafood, the houses, the predominant architecture and its privacy.

This is Maine by way of US1. The coastal route is the way to go because it how one can see the communities. 


 This photo was taken in York, Maine, just further north of Kittery; it was charming and serene but pretty nippy.


 The Nubble Lighthouse, an iconic structure in Maine. Seeing it with the Atlantic Sea as the backdrop was well opportune.


 A melancholy scene.


 Capturing this was just as memorable as the scene itself, I decided on the vision of this angle and had to climb sharp rocks high and higher still to get to this point. I loved it and I love this picture. This was in Cape Elizabeth.

For good measure, I present, Bush '41's summer home, also in Kennebunkport.

If there is an ugly part of Maine, I must have missed it; everything I saw was romantic and I was charmed.
