We spent the last two weeks on Block Island. One of the highlights of the trip was joining the Block Island Club. My wife's family always used to join when they came to the island when she was growing up, and her father even helped import the first 420 sailboats the club used. Its friendly and low key, and has sailboats, kayaks, paddleboards, a couple of tennis courts with a really good instructor, and even held a potluck cocktail party one evening.A sailboat race hosted by the club.The clubhouse.The sunset cocktail party.The view from the tennis courts as a scary storm moved in.

Looks like a lovely adventure, Casey! My grandmother saved this piece of her mother's wedding dress in an envelope. I'm thinking about a better way to preserve and possibly display it. The bride wore purple silk!

Give a weed an inch and it will take a mile! This is Purslane. Yes, I know that to many folks, it is good eating. Tossed this little clump on the compost pile last Thursday. This long tendril had grown out of it by yesterday.

Tried playing with Dreamscope. It is great when it works, but most of the time it does not. It has been trying to upload a photo for hours and there is no way to stop it. Sometimes the filters show up at the bottom of the photo but at least half the time they do not. Lots of glitches. I got a couple of photos to work. This is the Thick Paint filter.
