I decided to use some pictures from my recent trip to Martha’s Vineyard for my rounded choices.

October is, in my opinion one of the most spectacular months of the year.
No place is better for experiencing it than on Martha’s Vineyard.
Nature provides a fiery display of color in October, the greens and vivid colors of summer have been replaced with the rusts and orange hues of autumn.
The Vineyard is a beautiful place to visit in the fall … there are plenty of activities to take part in or just relax and enjoy the cool, crisp, beautiful month of October.
Here comes October……

Evanescent can be any fleeting moment in time and sunsets certainly qualify as such.

Through Jersey Eyes blog will be ending sometime soon so this is my last post.You can still follow me however on my blog WWW.MVOBSESSION.COM (click here)
I have enjoyed the past 8 years of sharing my photographs and want to thank all who have followed me, I really appreciate it.
And so the sun sets on Through Jersey Eyes.
Although it is not a bitter end for this blog I thought a photograph of the Bitter End nightclub that was in New York City for many years would be appropriate

This teeny Vineyard book is 1 inch square. Untie the ribbon and it opens like an accordion.
There is a verse on one side…
“The landscape of Martha’s Vineyard invites us daily to pause, to breathe and give our awareness to the splendor of our surroundings. The soul of the land and the sea speaks in a silent language to our own souls, calling forth a feeling of connectedness and well-being, belonging and responsiveness. We come to our senses and discover ourselves again in the grace, elegance and natural beauty of the island… Even if your visit here is brief , the Vineyard welcomes you home.” -I.G.M.
And pictures on the other.
I’ve added in some of my own that sort of resemble the ones in the book. I didn’t have any pictures of grazing cows so I substituted a goat friend of mine.
I’m glad I rediscovered this teeny book today. Thank you to the special person who gave it to me.<3

The prompt is tosee if you can capture the beauty of morning or evening half-light in your corner of the globe.

These photos of sunset were taken at a friend’s house on Martha’s Vineyard. Supper on a screened in porch overlooking Vineyard Sound, followed by the most dramatic and beautiful sunset I’d ever seen. Perfect end to a perfect evening.
It started like this …
And then exploded into this.

I’ve been to Martha’s Vineyard in February and I love it. I love it any time but February is a different from summer on the Vineyard as you can possibly get.
There’s a cold crispness in the air, the colors are more vivid, the Island is quiet and yet speaks volumes to those who take the time to look, listen and drink in the beauty and wonder that is the soul of Martha’s Vineyard.
February 1989… a light dusting of snow made everything look like powdered sugar had fallen all over the Island.
February 1995… no snow that trip but bitter cold. Did not stop me from visiting the Gay Head cliffs in Aquinnah on the western most tip of the Vineyard… or hiking through the woods of Christiantown to visit the tiny chapel there.
I also experimented a bit with black and white film. From top left… Edgartown harbor, Christiantown stone wall..Sengekontacket Pond and South Beach.
February 2007… bitter cold, dusting of over night snow, icy ponds and harbors… and brilliant sunsets.
My birthday is in February and sadly the only one I’ve ever spent on the Vineyard was in 1950 when my beloved godmother, Gertrude Norris passed away. But I’m not anywhere near done having birthdays so who knows what the future will bring :)
