Happy 4th of July to you, OC and your families. Your going to miss a BBQ at Lisa’s tonight and fire works at the boat ramp. But I’m sure you will have a fantastic show up there as well. Okay I saw this picture before. How do you change the color like that? It’s breathtaking.
Thom’s last blog post..Happy 4th of July, Saturday 9 – Yankee Doodle Dandy and a Birthday
Thom — it’s a different picture and God changed the color. It’s called “sunset.” I am sure he’s glad you approve.
If you scroll down and look at the other pic, you can tell I took this one from a completely different part of San Juan Straight. I was on a ferry boat crossing the Sound.
Scheesh you were told Thom ~ Once a Teacher, always a Teacher
Bill’s last blog post..Happy Fourth Of July
Bill — consider your comment flunked because it is missing commas and periods.
Look closer Quilly, there is a comma and I think that Squiggly line could also be considered something.
Bill’s last blog post..The Close Up Game #1
Bill — nice try. You are missing one comma and two periods. IF I was to give you the dash, you’d still be missing one period. And, 10 demerits for arguing with the teacher.
Sheesh, you were told Thom. Once a teacher, always a teacher.
It’s amazing to think that’s a real place—I wonder if I stood there, if I would simply be so struck by the beauty of it I’d completely forget the camera in my hands! The glow the sunset’s giving to the water is just lovely.
I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday today!
Susan at Stony River’s last blog post..Happy Independence
Susan — at first I was just captivated by the site, but luckily it lasted long enough that I came to my senses, jumped from my seat, rushed to the bow of the ferry and took this shot.
Forgot to ask Quilly: do you employ Thom as a straight man in the comments, or is it coming out naturally? Reading his comments and your replies on this blog, are some of the most fun moments I’ve had in a long time.
Susan,
This is the best part of visiting Quilly and Thom and seeing the replies to each other.
Bill’s last blog post..Happy Fourth Of July
Susan — Thom and I just make a natural comedy team. He certainly helps brighten the place up and I’m more than happy to have him around — just don’t tell him that!
Beautiful picture. May our independence last that long.
Dr. John’s last blog post..Raven’s Challenge 70
Dr. John — amen.
Beautiful Picture Quillster, You and the Amoeba have a wonderful Holiday Weekend.
Don’t sit too long to smell the roses.
Bill’s last blog post..Happy Fourth Of July
PS, Thom agrees that you’d be a Fantastic Bus Wench
Bill’s last blog post..Happy Fourth Of July
Bill — am I supposed to be excited or insulted? I can’t decide.
Thanks, Bill. Amoeba is working and I am sitting here waiting for him to come and eat the lunch he ordered about an hour ago.
Oh gosh…I think I’m gonna cry the picture is so beautiful. Happy 4th.
amberstar’s last blog post..Independence Day
Amber — then you really want to see it in person. It will take your breath away!
Gorgeous photo! Happy Independence Day to you!
Barbara H.’s last blog post..Happy 4th and catching up
Thanks, Barbara. I hope yours was great, too!
That view is a blessing.
Happy 4th of July.
Nessa’s last blog post..Independence Day
Nessa — it is a pretty magnificent rock.
It’s the 5th here but not too late to wish you a happy 4th! I love the way you respond to comments on your blog, but I never have time to go back to mine to see what’s happening! I’ll send you an email asking for advice!
Brenda — if you sent the email, I didn’t get it! Keep in mind, as I rule I only put up one post a day. I think at the rate you post, keeping up would be more difficult.
Didn’t get by here sooner; but it’s still the 4th in your present neck of the woods so hope it’s been a happy day!
Carletta’s last blog post..Happy 4th of July
Carletta — the day was grand! I hope you enjoyed yours as much!
Breath taking picture, and I hadeven more fun reading all the comments!
Hope you’re feeling better, and I wish you and everybody there a happy fourth of July!
I hope you had fun!
Jientje — the comments are always my favorotie part of the post! Our 4th was bright — as you can now see from my new post!
Happy Fourth of July! The picture is fabulous
That view always takes my breath away.
Shelly’s last blog post..My Little Party for One
Shelly — I almost forgot to look. I was watching where the ferry was going, and only belatedly remembered that I’d have to look over my shoulder to see the mountain. And I’m glad I turned around because it was at it’s stunning best.
A Happy belated 4th July from across the pond.
Anthony North’s last blog post..STRANGER
I’m glad you had a great day.
What an awesome shot.
I just would love to sit there and enjoy.
Nicole — so would I, but the Ferry keeps moving and soon it goes around an island and the mountain disappears. Alas. I would have liked to got a progression of sundown photos.
