Watching The Boats Go By

Today is another edition of Carrie's Phabulous Phriday Photo Phiesta. I love doing this every week because not only do I get to enjoy everyone else's photos from the week but I get to share some of mine. I find myself searching out pics to take every week then trying to find just that one to share. One of my favorite things to do is photography.


This week my favorite pic has to be this one I took when we took a day trip to visit my great aunt in Virginia. If you've never been to the Eastern Shore of Virginia, it is full of terribly small towns and everyone pretty much knows everyone else(think Mayberry). In fact, my aunt pretty much knows everyone over the age of 50 and probably quite a few under, and if she doesn't know you, she probably knows someone you're related to.

I took this photo as we were leaving the restuarant we went to for lunch. It overlooks the Chesapeake Bay(I think). I thought these old men gossiping and watching the boats was just too cute to pass up. I didn't even know people still did this. They just exchanged the barber shop for a dock. They were tickled pink to have me take their pic. They're probably still talking about it, and I plan on sending a copy to my aunt to give the man who actually posed for the pic. He's the one in the center looking at the camera.

These men renewed my faith that maybe the world isn't going to Hell in a handbag so to speak, and maybe there will always be that place where you can just forget the world and sit and watch the boats go by.

Hope you have a great weekend, and if you get the chance to come back tomorrow, you should because tomorrow is Tongue Twister Day(and I'm not making this up).

A Photo Fiesta

Today is Photo Fiesta at Candid Carrie's. You are supposed to pick out your favorite photo and tell why. Here's mine.

It's my favorite because my daughter helped me take the picture. I positioned it and she took it. It was a spur of the moment pic on a day trip. Plus, there is just something about the abandoned tracks seemingly going on forever into the unknown.

Time to announce my new blog feature now. Well, it's at least time to discuss it.

I was thinking, and let me know what you think, I could do a blog feature once a week or every couple of weeks on my blog readers. An interview of sorts. A way for all of us to connect and learn about each other.

I could post a pic, if you let me, and several interview questions. If you have a blog or Flickr, I, of course, would link to you. There would be questions, but they wouldn't be hard.

Any suggestions for questions? Would you read the interview or be willing to participate? Let me know what you think. Also, don't forget about my giveaway and the Halloween party tomorrow!
