Silver and Gold

 Hi everyone.

Today Rain's Thursday Art Date has a theme of silver and gold. I'm going to interpret that topic as things that are beautiful and valuable. And since it is the last day of June, how about some beautiful and valuable (at least to me) views from June? And no, I don't equate valuable with lots of money either.

My Queen Elizabeth rose has 3 huge blooms. Sorry, I need something for scale in the photo so you can tell how large these flowers are, but they are as big as my hand.

In fact, this is the time of year my rose garden looks amazing. Although a few bushes aren't quite there yet.

And my husband and I had a nice day out on the water when we took his boat out for this season's maiden voyage last week.

We are wondering when this newly refurbished historical life saving station will be opening for tours; which it will be. Hopefully we can visit it some time this summer. 

And below, even though it was hazy on the horizon, you can still make out the  Isles of Shoals, which is 6 miles off shore.

And how about all the lobster traps so somebody who likes lobster rolls can have another one at some point this summer.

And this trip down the Piscataqua (Pis-ca-ta-qua) River took us past lots of large ships in port.

The bees have had lots of hatched additions to the hive as well as having had some great pollen collecting weather during June also. The hive is filling up with capped brood cells that will soon be more worker bees. 

And the bees have made lots of golden honey too.  I never had this much honey in the hive last year.

That’s all for me today.  Thanks for visiting.  I hope you had a great month of June and also have a nice start to July. But can believe we are just about starting July already?
