It's Friday Again

   Hi everyone. Happy Friday. I'm here today to join Nicole for her Friday Face Off and also to join Gillena's Friday Lunch Break post.

   Today I have some more boating photos to share. There are lots of faces, but they're pretty small. I'll start with this party boat that we passed, each of us going in opposite directions.


    We also passed the Thomas Leighton filled with passengers heading out to the Isles of Shoals. (See this post if you're interested in what/where the Isles of Shoals is.)


    It was a gorgeous day, so lots of folks were out enjoying summer


in one way


or another.




And here's some faces that are easier to see.


It's not often we see a loon on the ocean in the summer. It's more common to see them on the lake at my Mother-in-laws home.


    For this week's dog photos, here's Miss Maddie. She never sits on our chairs. Hers is the blue one behind this white one. Of course seeing she's blind, we don't know if chose to try out this chair or if she mistakenly climbed onto the wrong chair. :)

       

    The funny part is that she couldn't get comfy on the chair with the arms because of those arms, so after moving around for about 15 minutes, she hopped off and went into the cabin.

    I'm not sure the cabin was up to her standards either. 😏 Here she is sticking her face out of the little cabin we have in the boat. This cabin is big enough for me to lay down but not my husband (and that's because I'm short). The ones who really like to lounge in there out of the sun are the dogs.  


    Finally, one more photo. Here's another one of those cranes at the Naval Shipyard. I counted even more of them than I did a couple of weeks ago. I don't know what it is about the cranes reaching up so tall, but they always catch my eye.


    I'm not sure if I'll have time to do a weekend post this weekend as we have a lot of things going on, so let me wish you not only a great weekend but a nice start to the new week (just  in case I can't find the time to post or even visit blogs).

Good morning I enjoyed your post I didn't remember that your dog was blind-nice that your cabin gives your dogs a spot to get into the shade. It's fun to watch all the activity on the water.
Happy Friday and weekend

I would love to have a party aboard a boat. As long as the guests are not susceptible to sea sickness, it was be a delightful place to sail, view and party

...thanks for showing me around, I haven't seem a loon in years.

Oh so much fun in the sun. Miss Maddie seems a bit sea sick??? The best face every. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a very nice weekend.

Lots of fun activities there...Why didn't you just place her on her chair?

Shari Burke said...

It's very frustrating when you pick the wrong chair and can't get comfy--I can relate to Miss Maddie! :-)
Have a great weekend!

A loon on saltwater in the summer is quite unusual it seems to me. Always great to see one though. All the best - David

This must have been a very enjoyable boat ride. Miss Maddie doesn't look too happy, but I'm sure she loves those boat rides just as much. Have a lovely weekend, Erika. Hugs - Carola

Great water-pics.
I know a bit.
And I bet that Miss Maddie knows she´s in a family that loves her beyond sight.
She might be like Helen Keller. Happy after all. Hugs, have a great day...

Looks like a fabulous day on the lake even if Miss Maddie couldn't quite get comfortable!
Your garden looks lovely in the photos in your previous post. Hope you're having a lovely weekend. Avril xx

I love the pup shots.

It looks like total heaven!

Neet said...

Good to see Maddie and glad she found somewhere a bit more comfortable for herself. Looks as if a good time was had by all because of the lovely weather. Making the most of it whilst we have it I guess.
Have a lovely time as what you do.
`hugs, Neet xx
