1st beach day

It wasn’t exactly swimming weather, but it was still a great day to sit on the beach-feet in sand and sun overhead! Had a tasty seafood lunch afterwards and I always love to look at the vintage diving suit in the restaurant lobby. I can’t imagine being submerged in such heavy gear! I always like looking at the boats too. This time they were still dry docked awaiting summer fun.

Road trip and Dad's 80th celebration

Fun weekend in Plymouth! We all got together to ring in my father's big 8-0! And what could be more fun than a ferry over to P-town? lol!!! It was a cool day and rainy but we still managed to have a lot of fun. How can you not have fun with drag queens and art galleries and bars every ten steps? The captain of the ferry made a special announcement on the loudspeaker and so many people in town saw the shirts I made and hugged my dad. So sweet. We got some family photos on a very windy dock and all had our share of amazing seafood. I just adore my dad and it was nice to see him have such a good time.

Crazy road trip!

I headed up to Plymouth Mass for a wedding this weekend. Left Saturday, returned Sunday. 10 hours of driving, 500 miles but what a blast! Got in early afternoon, so I headed over to Wood's Seafood "on the haaaaaaaaabah" as the locals say. Was going to order steamers, but went for the scallops and glad i did.

Fried but deeeeeeeelish! Wash it down with some cold beee-ah!

It was gray skies upon arrival but I love those skies in a harbor setting. Took some pics and got to learn way too much about lobster traps when i chatted some men up on the dock...

I think my New England roots just keep calling me back. To me, this is so beautiful. I plan to do a book with a harbor setting--i have for years now. But just need to find a better story.

All in all, it was a great, albeit short, trip. Nothing prettier than New England in the fall. Took some shots from the car and did a lot oooing and ahhhhhing over all the bursts of color! And of course, a few urban scenes too.

I think this was just outside of Plymouth. Morning rain...

Was on some back roads when i saw these two buildings and pulled over! Just wish those trees had peaked. This would be the perfect New England scene!
