From my deck chair
Even with blackout blinds…I still know it’s up, and so do my little dogs. Today I am sharing the view from my deck chair.
It was going to be a gorgeous day, so I took my camera out to play.
The regular Sunday morning sailboat races started right on time.
It’s a shame there was no wind but I still enjoyed watching them bob around.
The spinnakers are so pretty and colorful.
Light wind is supposed to prove who the better sailors are.
I spotted this big fella watching too.
Call me a simpleton, I am always excited to spot one of these!!
They fly past my deck at eye level but I can never get my camera out fast enough to catch them.
When I start to see the cruise ships slide past, I figure it’s cocktail time on board so…
fuzzy shot…wrong adjustment
cloudy Lemon Drop…organic lemon juice, organic simple syrup (home made)
There was a lot of day between sunrise and sunset. I didn’t jump to cocktails immediately.
I read.
I knit.
I napped, remember 3:45am?.
I walked my dogs and I made us a light lunch.
All in all it was a rough day.
The beauty of our sunrise’ is only rivaled by our sunsets.
Tomorrow I need to tidy up a bit. My Realtor is bringing someone over to have a look.
I wonder if they’ll be as intoxicated by the view as we are…and buy it?
I wonder if I’ll have a heart attack..if they do!
Stunning photos. Love the Lemon Drop! (Is that a sea hawk?)
It’s a Bald Eagle. There are Golden Eagles here too, but I’m fascinated by these guys.
Lovely photos…nothing better than exploring with a new camera….no blunders here 🙂
Have a great weekend.

Such beauty! Thank you for sharing my dear! I sure would love for you to move further south in California :))
We live in paradise here – no doubt…..but even paradise can be improved by a Lemon Drop!
So true. Most things can be improved by a Lemon Drop.
Great photos. What kind of camera do you have?
You changed your photos!Where have I been!
I too love lemon drops……….but have never made one!
Sorry, we did not meet at the HEN HOUSE!I closed it on SATURDAY!Do you follow me?I know you have left a few comments along the way and I thank YOU for that!I will still keep posting about STUFF so do sign up if you have not already!You look so different in this comment photo!Is that YOU?Again I have only really seen you under a hat your neck and maybe your hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOUR LOVELY!
You’re sweet, thank you. Lets plan to meet when I get back to SF, either for tea or a Lemon Drop!
So incredibly gorgeous! And I like how you reason out the time for cocktails…made total sense to me. We get eagles along our river…I try to keep on the outlook when I am walking Rockefeller. They tend to be rather elusive.
I would love for daylight to start that early in the summer! Thank you for the smiles today, J. xo H
It just makes for a very long day to get up that early:-)) but its worth it to catch the sunrise!
I’m afraid I’d be clinging to that place with my last breath. How enjoyable to saunter through it with you from sunrise to sunset.
Some very familiar landscapes… I would be buying it tomorrow if I could! Such a beautiful place!
We love it here in the summer!
Thanks for the reminder of what’s awaiting me back home. . . glad you’re enjoying your getaway time!
Wow, quite incredible and Uncle Sam up in the tree is quite jaw dropping.
I’m always whooping when I see one. They’re so large and majestic looking.
Jennifer, your views are so stunningly beautiful! I can’t imagine that anyone wouldn’t fall in love with it all! Hopefully where you are going to will be just as lovely. The bald eagle (is that what he was?) looks so regal. The whole post was just breathtaking! xo ~S

Looks to me like you don’t need to read the manual as your photos are gorgeous. What a wonderful day that you described for us to enjoy.
Beautiful! I’ve never seen a bald eagle in real life, so I’d be excited to!
Omg! These shots are absolutely fabulous. How utterly gorgeous is your view??? Love the one with the sailboats the most for some reason…
There’s always something going on out there. Barges or seaplanes or sailboats. It’s like having a giant theater screen to watch!
The beauty here is breathtaking…I just do not know what it would be like to awake to such gorgeous scenery. You are blessed.
Thinking about it. I would love a place in Carmel or further south in CA. The sun just got here, so maybe yours is coming soon. I hope so.
Best of luck! As you know, we are considering a visit to Carmel and Santa Barbara perhaps next spring for first time – you would be assured of warm weather sooner and more consistently I assume there!
Love the photos and know the area! Are you abandoning the island or looking for a new spot? 3:45 am? I wish it would get nice here – would like to see the sun come out now and then!
With that stunning expansive view I cannot imagine you would even need to clean inside!
The eagle, deck and ocean would sell me instantly…although I might need to get thicker black out blinds!
I do like to sleep until just after 6 am.
Beautiful shots. Makes me yearn for a trip to BC!
xo, Adrienne
The weather has just turned from gray to stunning!
