Strawberries from a Farm Stand in Sag Harbor.


Church Strawberry Festival in Sag Harbor.


Strawberries & Brioche for Breakfast at Home.
Picked up the English Calico Teapot, Glass and Dragon Petit Point Placemat at our favorite antique store, Sage Street Antiques. I need them like a hole in the head, but couldn't resist. I've been drawn to cobalt blue a lot, lately. I think it's Scott's Mom as she was a big collector of cobalt blue glass.



Blueberry Rhubarb Pie for Charlie's Birthday.
It was supposed to be Strawberry, but it's still yummy.


Hi Everyone -

Thank you so much for the nice comments on the five senses photos. I'm showing them to the class tomorrow, and although I took the class for fun, I'm still nervous. As much as I loved the class and not to be overly-dramatic, I think I'll feel like I'm completing graduate school when it's over. On to the next thing like using what I learned and some sewing this summer.

This weekend we went to the beach for the first time this year. We managed to eek out some nice weather and the strawberries were in abundance. I made some Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins today and the recipe is over here. We brought a pie home for Charlie's birthday and we felt a little bit sad because we always brought it home for Helen & Charlie.

See you later in the week with more beach photos. I'm thinking some of these Les Brumes textures might look neat, although I'm still on the fence about using them. I guess I feel like I should be able to make my photos interesting on their own through technical adjustments in the camera. But, the filters are really fun to use and create beautiful moods. I love these Florabella textures, too.

xo, Cindy

PS In the last digital lab I mentioned getting LCD screen protectors. I originally picked up the thin films that you peel and stick on. They were crummy with lots of air bubbles and didn't provide a perfect fit. The LCD optical glass screen protector ($10) seems much better.

Sending you heaps of love!

Cindy do you think you can save me a piece of pie?! It looks so tasty. I hope Charlie had a good bday. How is everyone doing?

PS I know what you mean about the stick on film and all the bubbles. I will have to check out your protector.
