How Could I Want More?

By Silver Blue

When I moved back to Virginia in 1980, I was 11, and was in love with the Chesapeake Bay, and with the sound of Karen Carpenter’s voice.

Some things never change, even 32 years later.

So I have a wonderful photo of the shoreline along the Chesapeake Bay:

As well as a surprise.

Some years ago, an acquaintance asked if I’d ever hear a particular vocalist. He then played “How Could I Ask For More?” I stopped dead in my tracks because to me, it sounded like Karen Carpenter. But it wasn’t. I recognized Richard Carpenter doing the backing vocals, but … in one place the artist singing pronounces the word “cloudy” as “crowdy”. LOL. Her name is Akiko.

Silver Blue, who has enough…how could I ask for more?

The TALL Ships

OpSail 2012 was today. The arrival of the tall ships.

I was in love.

The Coast Guard ship which started it all.

Coming around the bend from Fort Monroe.

Yes. The sailors were standing on the masts.

Another tall ship with the sailors on the masts.

I’m sunburned, but it’s WORTH it.

Silver Blue, who was able to lose himself behind the camera. A very successful Photo Phriday!
