overlooked

I haven't had a chance to get to the home iPhoto library in awhile, and I found all sorts of photos. This first set come from the first time Binbin and I stayed overnight at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship. Binbin wasn't too sure about this place, but the pile of wood refuse proved to be an excellent little play area.



The forecast had called for thunderstorms, and we knew it. Looking west at about 7 or 8 pm, we saw this impressive thunderhead.



The lightening and thundershow coincided with bedtime, about 8:30 or 9. Binbin lay between us in our Himalayan Hotel tent with his eyes as wide as saucers for about half an hour. I think he was too startled to utter a sound. He did manage to fall asleep...and stay asleep during the next 90 minutes' worth of storm and for the entire night. The next morning, he looked at us and asked, "are the fireworks over?"

We then drove over to Rockland for a short hike, which led us to this memorial structure.



We tried to take in a view of Rockland's quaint town and the sea, but the fog started rolling in and quickly we could hardly see each other. Binbin wasn't too keen on the hike on the way up...



But on our way down, we found a patch of wild blueberries and that brought a blue-hued smile to his face!
