Irish Music in Edgartown

Every session is like a surprise party, in a way. I knew that Arnie and Emily were coming over from the Cape, Mike was already here, and I also knew that Susie would be coming, but beyond that, anything could happen - and often does - and that's the fun of a session, especially on the Vineyard in the summer...more, plus photos, here.

Pre-Fourth of July Celestial Light Show

This evening's entertainment was a series of rainbows, mixed with sun, rain, thunder, lightning, a cloud show, all topped off by a spectacular sunset. Getting warmed up for the fireworks, I guess.

Gay Head

The Edgartown girl went to Gay Head yesterday, to the beach. I wasn't planning on swimming, but I couldn't help myself. The ocean water is colder than Bend in the Road, but it felt wonderful and definitely woke me up and cleared the brain fog.
