ReplyDeleteI love those mountains.
Hello, nice cards for your collection. The ships are great, the one reminds me of our Holland American cruise to Alaska out of Seattle. I love the pretty flowers and the heron. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
ReplyDeleteI like the ships John. They are great. And the bird ... wow. Beautiful.

Lots of variety this morning on the blog. I would so enjoy watching the ships. My hubby was born in May, has a birthday on Thursday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this fascinating post. I do enjoy seeing the ships and the mountains in the background.Have a great week my friend.
ReplyDeleteSo much in this post I think I forgot the first part once I got to the end... great skies, ships, and lunar shots! :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely blooms and terrific skies.
ReplyDeleteI was born in May but that sure doesn't sound like me!! : )
I don't know which photos I like the best! I like seeing the pictures of ships. Not something I get to see in my landlocked area.
ReplyDeleteLots of variety here. You've been hard at work.
ReplyDeleteI like #2 the yellow Iris.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers and sky shots!
ReplyDeleteThanks for Visiting my Blog John. Yes I'm a Brit but there is more Irish in me than English, I was just born here. The wall you showed was very neat and I have never seen one like it before and like I said would have taken a lot of skill to do. Like your photos this week especially the flowers.
ReplyDeleteGreat variety in this post, John. All so beautiful, from the fascinating old postcard about May to the interesting ships and pretty flowers and amazing skies. So nice the photos of the moon!
ReplyDeleteMany greetings, have a pleasant weekend!
I really enjoyed all your photos, John! I find it fascinating to see all those vessels and wonder about their cargo and all that movement of stuff in our modern world.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting to learn that Seattle is known as the Emerald City! Now I'm curious as to this seemingly Irish connection!
Lovely sky shots too!
Happy weekend!
