Vacation on Martha's Vineyard (lots of pics)

Having lunch in Edgartown harbor, one of many beautiful sailboats float by...

The historic Edgartown lighthouse (from a distance)...

I went hiking at the Felix Neck wildlife preserve. Turtle Pond (yes, it had lots of turtles)...

The historic lighthouse at Aquinnah (sorry for not rotating it)...

Edgardtown square, a popular place for outdoor weddings...

At any rate, I had it professionally printed on 11" by 17" glossy paper, and it looks fantastic...
