Your photos are always great but this post is the best ever I think! I love ships of all kinds and a parade of tall ships is really great.
ReplyDeleteI love the beautiful ships. Great post.
ReplyDeleteWhat a view you had over those ships.
ReplyDeleteThe parade of tall ships must have been wonderful to. Nice photos.
ReplyDeleteThe Eagle sure trumps the Coast Guard vessels I show here!

I'm definitely not bored seeing these great ships - that coastguard one is fantastic. Wonderful maritime post!
ReplyDeleteHari Om
ReplyDeleteNope - never tire of ships!!! The ones past my window tend on the whole to be much less romantic, however. These are alluring. YAM xx
I always look forward to visiting you and artmusedog. Oh the ships are so elegant!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely haiku to greet a new season...
Your shots of the ships are awesome and love your country's flag☆☆☆ And wish to see how to make ships inside the bottle p:-)

ReplyDeletecarol, the shots are so beautiful. here's a bright September.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing some of the ships in the Parade of Sails, Carol. I loved when this was also done in NYC's harbor. Lovely haiku and a good quoye to ponder!
ReplyDeleteLove the tall ships and your view of the world!
ReplyDeleteOne looks in awe at big ships. A travelling hotel and leisure, how amazing! Great pics Carol!

I love the ships. They're so beautiful. I never get tired of seeing them.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, enjoying everything here. I never get tired of looking at ships. They are so grand and stately.
ReplyDeleteCape Ann is so picturesque with or without all those boats. Have a lovely week Carol.

ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous ships!
ReplyDeleteYour b&w photo is great!
ReplyDeleteMy post at: http://hanshb.wordpress.com/
The harbor was certainly full. What a sight.
ReplyDeleteWonderful ships. we had some tall ships come here last year and it was wonderful to see all those sails and woodwork.
ReplyDeleteLove the water. It is so blue.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! I kept hearing about this, but since I can't stand "local" news, I hadn't seen it. What a sight ~ you must have loved every minute!
ReplyDeleteCarol, those ship photographs are wonderful! My cousin is in Martha's Vineyard, and we love the New England Coast. I also love our harbor here in St. Augustine. There is something wonderful about boats on the water.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this boat parade with us! And before I forget, that little dog face is PRECIOUS. What a doll!

I liked your "'Parade of Sail' ~ 'P' for:" pictures, Carol. I suppose 'the dog' had to stay home for that. Those ships are sooo pretty and you got some very good pictures. I hope they will come to Galveston (Texas) again soon. I missed last. Our tall ship, Elissa, may have been there. Do you remember her coming?

ReplyDelete..
Love the sailboats! The Coast Guard one must be a beauty when all its sails are unfurled!
ReplyDeleteShips galore!...lovely post and haiku♪ http://lauriekazmierczak.com/pixeled-park/
ReplyDeleteSome beautiful ships!
ReplyDeleteThe "Eagle" looks beautiful on the blue water !
ReplyDeleteYour lovely photographs always make me homesick for the water....
ReplyDeleteNeed a trip to the coast, I guess.
When I drive to the island from Brunswick, I love to see all the sailboats from the yacht club, taking advantage of the breezes! Great post, Carol.
ReplyDeleteWould be a fun visual treat to watch ships being put in a bottle!
ReplyDelete...and beautiful post for SWF too!
ReplyDeleteAmazing ships, glorious skies and terrific captures!! Thanks for sharing the beauty and the fun!!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular sky shot, Carol! I love the warmth of it.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful series of photos.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular sky colors in that first photo!

I love the orange sky. No signs of Autumn until next week, it's HOT here.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I come across your blog I spend at least half an hours looking at your amazing pics!
ReplyDeleteNeighborhoods change, and the flowers still bloom. My neighborhood ages, children on tricycles now driving cars, and the flowers still bloom.
ReplyDeleteWonderful share! Ships in bottles always tickled my fancy.....
ReplyDeleteThank you for the seaside glories.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your sad heart at losing your neighbors. Perhaps the new ones will offer new adventures in the neighborhood?
Have a sweet weekend!
Thank goodness that roses bloom, no matter what! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to be able to see all those boats on parade and especially the tall ships! Such a poignant haiku, about neighbours moving away and their flowers still blooming after they have gone. Life does go on, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteLOVE the tall ships! We saw the Parade of Sail in New York Harbor in 1986 (while there for the re-opening of the cleaned and refurbished Statue of Liberty for her susquecentennial) and again have seen many in Norfolk, Va. when we lived there. They are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh I love it! Great photos. The Parade of Sails was one of my favorite events while I lived on the coast. Wonderful choice for your Haiku, I really enjoy reading what you come up with from the prompts.
ReplyDeleteI know a little something about changing lifestyles. I highly recommend them. They are fabulous opportunities for growth and change even into our retirement years.
ReplyDeleteThat first photo is so beautiful! Lovely light in the sky.
ReplyDeleteRoses still blooming.
ReplyDeleteMushrooms still mushrooming.
Gorgeous photos. I especially like your shot for B&W Wednesday. Roses keep blooming is a rather calming line. :-)
ReplyDeleteTake 25 to Hollister
Beautiful ship silhouettes...poignant haiku with the impending season change/endings somewhere/beginnings in others...the post is alive as always!
ReplyDeleteGreat monochrome!
ReplyDeletehttp://amitaag.blogspot.in/2014/09/bonhomie.html
The Parade of Ships pass through here in mid summer, so amazing to see but we lack the the beautiful landscape you were able to capture.
ReplyDeleteyour sweet doggies face welcomes me every week and oh that oldie you got . He looked skeptical .
ReplyDeleteCarol what a great stroll I had here this morning.
ReplyDeleteLoving those white daisies , the Haiku, and of course Mr Poochie :)
Wonderful assortment of images!
ReplyDeleteThe sun through the clouds photos are especially lovely, Carol.
ReplyDeletesweet old pup! loved the ships.
ReplyDeleteCharacter dog, indeed! I had to chuckle at the look on his face…
ReplyDelete=)
Lovely photos and how nice to see Character dog. I enjoyed the nautical theme today.
ReplyDeleteHi! :) Loved seeing the tall ships, and sunsets. My dog doesn't like having her photo taken either, but it's a great photo.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing those tall ships. The dog has interesting and beautiful markings.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely array of photos! Especially love the sunset! Gorgeous sky!
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful series!

Shane
really nice collection
ReplyDeleteYou took so many gorgeous shots, Carol! Love all the ships at the harbor!
ReplyDeleteLovely haiku for Carpe Diem. I enjoyed your photos too.
ReplyDeleteIf you are stuck with green tomatoes at seasons end, just put them in a brown paper bag too and they'll ripen up with their own gases.
You could also make fried green tomatoes or green tomato salsa - add some pineapple for a sweeter salsa. :)
Hello Carol! A lovely series of images! The sky shots are beautiful. And I love the cute dog! Thank you for sharing your post and linking up! Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful offerings Carol! Thanks for sharing the love up-close with I Heart Macro:-)
