I still post daily to my Instagram account, but have decided to not re-post those entries here are well. So, if you want to follow along, you can see what I'm up to here.

186/070515 #Bellagio #cy365
Always love the exhibits in the atrium. Yes, we had an ice-cream stop later, but the sweetest part of today was watching the USA women's soccer team win the #fifaworldcup. #Vegas #family #Travel

If you can't make it to Venice, I guess a trip to #TheVenetian in #Vegas will give you a teeny taste of the wonders that await you in one of my fave cities. #Travel

My nephews soaking it in at the #GrandCanyon. #Arizona #family #Travel

What I stumbled upon #onmywalktoday.#charlestown

166/365 - 061515 #BirthdayGirl #cy365
Cold and rain has beached the birthday girl, so the clambake in the sand has morphed into lobster rolls at home. #delish #foodie #lobstah

Look who I met #onmywalktoday. He/she came right up to me on his/her not quite coordinating spindly legs. #naturalbeauty #nature #deer #backyardfauna

158/365 - 060715 #InMyHands #cy365
Today #ontheblog I posted a short video of my pared down supplies for travel and art journaling. Link in profile. #artsupplies #artjournal #sketchbook #sketches#sakura #strathmore #watercolor #micronpen #pittpens

159/365 - 060815 #InMyLap #cy365
Sometimes the best place for my sketchbook is in my lap. Unwinding with a watersoluble pen and a water brush. #art #sketches #artsupplies #Fortitude #strathmore #portrait #draw

160/365 - 060915 #WhereIStand #cy365
In my studio with my sketchbook and some watercolors. #art #sketches #draw #artsupplies #artjournal #strathmore #watercolor #micronpen #sakura

161/354 - 061015 #WhereAreTheBees #cy365
#onmywalktoday passed this lovely plant. I wait every year for the blooms, and then cautiously step in to smell them. Have noticed this year that I don't need the caution as there are no bees around. That cannot be good. #flowers #nature

162/365 - 061115 # CurrentlyReading #cy365
Trying out the #CrossingMidnight #graphix this week. Interesting story and illustration style. #bookstagram #summerreads #librarybooks

The party boats have gathered for the sunset canon. Another beautiful day on the water. #BostonHarbor #sailingseason #onmywalktoday #nofilter

150/365 - 053015 #Memento #cy365
In case you did not already know it, I love all things nautical. These huge anchors are impressive, and it is quite fun to watch little kids use them as slides. #charlestownnavyyard #sailingseason #anchor #onmywalktoday

151/365 - 053115 #RainyDay #cy365
We've had so little rain that I'd almost forgotten the lovely sound it makes. An added bonus is that much of the pollen is getting cleared out of the air. #onmywalktoday saw puddles with pollen slicks. #pollenbegone #puddles

152/365 - 060115 #CurrentlyReading #cy365
Listening to Shadow Divers by #RobertKurson on my long walks.#bookstagram #summerreads #audiobook #ReadingOnTheBoat

153/365 - 060215 #JuneFires #cy365
June starts off cold enough for fleece clothing and evening fires. #whathappenedtospring

154/365 - 060315 #Radiant #cy365
Attended the local middle school's Spring Concert this evening. The approximately 240 students ranged from 5th to 8th grade. My nephew Luke plays both the clarinet and alto sax, and he rocked it. #lovethiskid #thiskidlovesjazz #proudauntie

155/365 - 060415 #TripPlanning #cy365
Family members will be gathering in a month, so time for some trip planning. #Fodor's #Frommer's #bookstagram #currentlyreading #GrandCanyon #Vegas #travel #summerreads #librarybooks

156/365 - 060515 #SummerBBQ #cy365
Fired up the new Weber for an easy summer meal: salad, bbq beef with sautéed mushrooms and caramelized onions, and bbq pinapple. #delish #foodie

An open blank page is full of possibilities. Spent a little time sketching after breakfast this morning. #ArtOnTheBoat #art #sketches #artsupplies #sketchbook #draw #watercolorpencils #waterbrush #strathmore

144/365 - 052415 #Evoked #cy365
Our summer home always evokes a smile. I love #sailingseason in #Boston. #boats #sailing #BostonHarbor #nofilter

145/365 - 052615 #Devoted #cy365
One of the really cool things about the Navy Yard is the devotion that the sailors have for these old vessels. #boats #sailingseason #charlestownnavyyard #onmywalktoday

146/354 - 052615 #Finished #cy365
Just need to add some text and the date, and my #sketch for today will be finished. Inspired by #AmyDavis. #artsupplies #sketchbook #strathmore #watercolor #markers #drawing #artjournal

147/365 - 052715 #Arid #cy365
All the rain clouds seem to disintegrate before they get to us, and we really need the rain. The chipmunks are playing in the drizzles from the garden hose. Saw this lovely window box #onmywalktoday. #flowers #urbangarden #nature

148/365 - 052815 #RightNow #cy365
Much cooler down on the water, and it is quite fun watching the fog bank roll in over #Boston. #boats #BostonHarbor #sailingseason

149/364 - 052915 #Twilight #cy365
There is something magical about twilight on the water. Love my summer hood. #sailingseason #BostonHarbor #boats #onmywalktoday #courageoussailingclub

The Easter cactus in our home is a late bloomer, but the blossoms sure light up the room. #nature #flowers

137/365 - 051715 #Distance #cy365
Postcards are one of my fave ways to stay in touch with dear ones near and far. It's a fun way to let them know that I'm thinking of them. #usps #snailmail

138/365 - 051815 #Empty #cy365
When, oh when, will school be out for the summer? #playground

139/365 - 051915 #RoomToMove #cy365
The street sweeper was by this morning, and I was quite delighted with the patterns left on the clean roads. #onmywalktoday

140/365 - 052015 #Chores #cy365
Some days the flowers I stop and smell are at Trader Joe's. #natureindoors #flowers

141/365 - 052115 #Serenity #cy365
The serenity and solitude of early morning walks are one of my fave things. #flowers #nature #onmywalktoday

142/365 - 052215 #Solo #cy365
#OldIronsides is dry docked for some work, and with her masts unstepped she looks like she's had a bad haircut. #ussconstitution #Boston #boats #sailingseason #sailing #onmywalktoday
