View from the dock

early morning

mid-day

evening

I could really get used to this vacation thing.
We're renting this house in Casco Maine

I did two things before I left home.  I painted enough backgrounds to make a few dozen postcards, and I splurged on a Pogo printer.

Here are some of the postcards I've made so far this week, using some of the pictures I've taken.

  5. Every one of these is beautiful, and the colours are so clean and restful that I think it must mean that you are relaxing, recovering and being happy.
    It looks so lovely there, I wish I could experience it, and the house is like something from a fairy tale.

  7. Good for you - you really deserve it! It just looks so wonderful, I can't imagine anything better. And even finding the time and energy for art - I love your postcards. And I don't know what a POGO printer is, but I think it's best I not find out, or I'll want one...

  8. I just love how you planned for incorporating art into your vacation. These are beautiful! Will you bind them as a keepsake for yourself, or send them to lovely blogging friends you adore (lol)? Enjoy a little of that relaxation for me; it looks amazing!

Your gorgeous Moo card. I have it proudly displayed on a mini easel on my shelves. Just in case I didn't...thanks so much! Must be time for ME to go on another vacation...)

  13. I am catching up (backwards). And I have to say that you are the best postcarder in the world. And, yes, I've seen all their work and none of it compares.

    This looks like a fabulous experience, Pookie!
