Boys on the beach. This is another of my favourite Boys on the beach. This is another of my favourite black and white photos that I’ve taken over the years. I’m still a vivid colour guy at heart though 😉

Tigress is an omnipresent sight in Edgartown. If y Tigress is an omnipresent sight in Edgartown. If you climb the Edgartown Lighthouse, there she is. If you’re sitting on the deck of The Seafood Shanty, there she is. If you’re stretched out on the beach, reading a book in your favourite pink hat, there she is. It’s the first Saturday of August—enjoy!

I know some people think adding the JAWS theme is I know some people think adding the JAWS theme is doing the shark a great disservice but I strongly disagree. I think it makes them even cooler. By the same token, I think everyone should hear Darth Vader’s March when I walk into a room…just sayin’. Have a great day everyone! Keep swimming!

When was the last time you rode Flying Horses 🎠 When was the last time you rode Flying Horses 🎠 Carousel? If it has been a while, then make sure you ride it this summer!! I included pics from my first and most recent rides. No matter how old you are, there will be a time when you need to remember that the child inside still exists. The carousel is the perfect way to do it. So come on, pick a horse and do your best to get the brass ring! You can even try double dipping to get as many rings as you can on each round like my friend Ryan! But just a heads up—they’ll cut you off if they catch you! 🤣 Have a wonderful Friday everyone! Get out and play! #MarthasVineyard #Massachusetts #bestislandever #mvy #MarthasVineyardMysteries #Edgartown #OakBluffs #VineyardHaven #Aquinnah #Tisbury #WestTisbury #MysteryNovels #Beach #BeachRead #Writer #VisitMA #Vacation #MarthasVineyardLife #VisitMarthasVineyard #VisitMassachusetts #FlyingHorsesCarousel #VisitOakBluffs

I decided to post a photo of The Aquinnah Shop Res I decided to post a photo of The Aquinnah Shop Restaurant rather than a photo from the Aquinnah Shop Restaurant. No restaurant on-island has a better view. The food is terrific and the staff is always friendly. Making a stop for lunch on a “true Vineyard day” is a must! Can’t you imagine yourself sitting on that deck looking out over the cliffs and beaches of Aquinnah? Have a great day everyone! Be amazing!

There’s something about a sunrise. They hold all There’s something about a sunrise. They hold all of the colour, beauty, and singularity of a sunset yet so much more. A sunrise is full of promise. There’s a new adventure in each and every one. The dawn of a new day. A sunrise carries on its back all of our hopes and ambitions for the next twenty-four hours. They wake our dreams instead of putting them to bed. Good morning everyone! Have a great day!

It’s so important to take stock not in the money It’s so important to take stock not in the money you’ve earned, the job you have, or the house you live in but rather the person you’ve become. Who you are, how you treat others, is the true measure of success. Harvey Weinstein was one of the richest and most successful film makers in history; Mother Theresa was broke. Have a wonderful day everyone. Be as kind to yourself as you are to others.
