Back To Cape May, and ART too!

 

 Happy new week all, and a happy Thanksgiving Monday to all our Canadian friends! 

This week I'll share a few more photos from our beach trip late September. The above photo was taken at the Cape May State Park. The trails and lakes are beautiful and many birders come here especially during specific bird migrations.

 Here we are heading down one of the paths to the Cape May Point beach.

 

A view of the lighthouse from the beach. It was cold and windy but beautiful nonetheless .Notice the 37 in the sand? Hubby grabbed a twig and wrote that and  a note for our anniversary:)

 And for T Stands For Tuesday I will share a meal I have been dying for all summer:

 

 We had gone to nearby Townbank to visit friends one day and on our drive back along the bay we decided to stop at Harpoons On The Bay, a place we had been to before. We had a perfect view of the sun setting over the bay from our table. I decided to try their lobster roll because I was not going to leave Cape May without getting one somewhere. This was the 4th one I've had in 4 different restaurants the last few years and this was by far the best I have had- filled to the gills with lobster!! To drink I had lemon water and a glass of Merlot- but really, this roll deserved a glass of bubbly😉🥂! Cheers!

 Art time...

 Each month Darkroom Door has a challenge on Instagram. We are given an inspiration/color board. We can make anything at all but do need to use some Darkroom Door products. A winner is chosen at the end of the month and receives a Darkroom Door stamp set and stencil of choice. I missed last month's so I was determined to get to the October one. I am also joining in at Art Journal Journey for the theme of Hold The Line:

 and most of the supplies I used:

 Darkroom Door products I used are the ferns and circle stencils and the Fine Flowers stamp set.

 I also made a bit of time to watch and create from some of the Willowing Lifebook 2021 free Taster Lessons. This lesson was from Susan Nethercote using watercolors titled Watercolour Winddown. This was relaxing and it was so much fun to bring out my watercolors again and play with them in an abstract form. And yes, I was inspired by my beach trip😁:

 Playing over at Paint Party Friday later in the week as well. And that's it for me. Only 2 weeks and 3 days til our son's wedding and we are all getting ever more excited! Happy week all!
