Beautiful celebration and lovely views!


This past week end was spent celebrating my daughter Mary-Catherine at her college graduation. I shared some photos over at "View From the Domestic Church" here: http://viewdomesticchurch.blogspot.com/2013/05/this-past-week-end-was-spent-in-grand.html

I will share some different kinds of photos here.

First of all, here is the happy graduate:

Notice the ocean in the background,
a lovely back drop for the past four college years .

After the graduation, we enjoyed a walk around town. A few things caught my eye and I'll share them here.

First of all, here's a photo of the front door of the inn where we stayed over the week end. A mother Robin was busy caring for her eggs in the nest above the wreath on the door.




Here are a few other sights that caught my eye:


















By now, you might have figured out that I love pansies!
Well, I do love birds and bird houses too. :)



St. Francis just happened to be right behind me
when having lunch outdoors in a little garden we came upon.



The Blessed Mother was in the garden too!


We discovered this little chapel upstairs from a restaurant!
We went in for a moment of peace.


One of the frescos on the wall of the chapel.



Another fresco.


Pansies again and interesting storefront with window reflections!










Nearby to where my daughter is temporarily living.
I should have zoomed in.


Hopefully, you'll be able to view this very short video clip.


God bless you!
