Yesterday, on the first day of my two-week vacation, I was prepared to stop and to appreciate this sign in Beverly, Massachusetts, USA.

Be prepared to
- stop,
- look,
- listen,
- think,
- feel,
- connect,
- change,
- move on, and
- encounter lots of photos from the South and the North shores of Boston.






























Be prepared to stop while you’re in the middle of creating a blog post in order to go to the dentist and then take your cat to the vet because, after all, what else should you be doing on your vacation?
Be prepared to stop, take a breath, and share the rest of your photos from yesterday:

















Be prepared to stop and tell me what photos you liked best and why.
Be prepared to stop and enjoy this tune by the Zombies, stopping and appearing soon at the Cabot in Beverly.
I’m always prepared to stop and express my thanks to those who help me create these daily blog posts and to all those who read them, including you!

I was prepared to be very concerned when I didn’t see a post from you this morning, but now I’m prepared to relax, take a deep breath, and enjoy listening to The Zombies.
I am prepared to stop and express my appreciation for your concern, Chris.
Be prepared to enjoy your vacation, Ann 🙂
Your beauty is my favorite today, nothing new…
I am prepared to stop and tell you how much I love your beautiful comments, Irene.
Don’t ever stop your blog!
I am prepared to stop and tell you, Alex, how much your support has meant to me over the years.
That’s wonderful to hear
I’m prepared to say have a great time in Edinburgh, and take time for yourself during your vacation.
I’m prepared to take the time to tell you how great you are, Peter!
Enjoy your two-week vacation Ann!!!
I’m prepared for my vacation and prepared to thank you for this comment!
Sorry, I can’t stop, I have to head off to my exercise group soon…………….it’s all go this morning……
I always love when you stop by, Ivor!
Have a wonderful time, Ann!
Thank you, my wonderful friend!
Such an interesting collection of memories! Thank you! <3
Thank YOU, Jan. <3
I wish my body would stop shaking
I am prepared to stop and tell you, Joanne, that I am so sorry you are dealing with that. <3
As usual, your dinner looks fabulous. And those beagles need to be let out to run the beach.
Thank you for stopping by, Lisa, with such a well-prepared and fabulous comment!
If drivers in our New Forest were prepared to stop there would be fewer animal deaths. This is, to my mind, your most thought-provoking set of photographs. The positioning of chair and cat in the first almost invites a story, and that National Geographic cover sums up our age.
I’m prepared to stop and tell you how much this comment means to me, Derrick.
Such interesting photos! You were definitely on-the-go! I hope by evening you stopped and let’s hope had a good rest! 🙂
I’m having a good rest on my vacation, Debra, and it’s always wonderful when you stop and prepare a comment for my blog!
Today I’m stopping by to catch up on your posts. ( ⌯◞◟⌯)♡
I’m prepared to stop in the middle of my vacation and tell you how thrilled I am to see you, my friend! <3
