First of the Month: July

As time goes on this is getting tougher! I want my subject matter to be the same, the lighthouse, but I also want each month to be unique. This month I took a ton of photographs! Each one looked like another month. Oddly enough, this was the first shot I took as I walked on the path towards the pier. I barely stopped as I snapped it. Funny how it wound up being my pick because of it's unique perspective. The next photo was a close second. I love how it screams July with the crowd on the pier, sailboat and jet ski on the water.

Next month is gonna be tough!! See you then.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover ~ Mark Twain

Wow does June's First of the Month capture scream SUMMER!! I decided to take a closer view of the lighthouse at Whitby harbour. I am glad I did as I think the lingering people, the sailboat gracing the back of the photograph just scream summer is here! Keep that sunshine happening!

Looking forward to visiting all the other participants in the meme group "First of the Month". I really love this meme idea and group. I think its fun to follow all the changes in the photos over time. I also find it challenging to make sure my photo has a little bit of something new to offer you even though its the same place, same time but different month. See you in July... oh no, that will mean summer is half way over!

"I have always preferred the reflection of the life to life itself."

~ Francois Truffaut

This month the lighthouse angle is slightly different. Overall I am not that pleased with these shots but I do love the reflection of the sign in the puddle. For a bit of added fun, here is a close up of the lighthouse as an alternative photograph.

"The first of April, some do say, 

Is set apart for All Fools' Day.

But why the people call it so,

Nor I, nor they themselves do know.

But on this day are people sent

On purpose for pure merriment."

~ Poor Robin's Almanac, 1790

MARCH

Indoors or out, no one relaxes

In March, that month of wind and taxes,

The wind will presently disappear,

The taxes last us all the year.

First of the Month

I'd like to be a lighthouse

All scrubbed and painted white.

I'd like to be a lighthouse

And stay awake all night

To keep my eye on everything

That sails my patch of sea; I'd like to be a lighthouse

With the ships all watching me.
