A little bit of salty Cape Cod air for your week.

At the bend in the "elbow" of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Chatham is one of my favorite places. I'm posting some photos from earlier this Spring as I have somehow misplaced my Nikon battery charger and have been lost without my camera....wish me luck finding it..:) Enjoy the view!

Above and below: some of the sand bars and the little inlets the tide creates...lots of kids always playing in these in the summer.

Above, the Chatham lighthouse.

Starlings on telephone wires. I don't know why, I just like them.

The fish pier is a lively place where the lobster fishermen and women come back from work in the afternoons, causing a ruckus among the locals...the seals and the seagulls, of course! Below are some more beautiful photos from some talented Flickrers...credits below.

Cape Cod memories

Cape Cod shells- sepia
Originally uploaded by maryvican

I just reworked a piece of mine I took last year in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. I decided I liked the sepia tone in this particular one. Believe it or not, this pile of shells was in someone's driveway. I loved its random nature and simple beauty. I hope I didn't scare the residents when I drove up, snapped, and peeled away from their lovely little home. I'm almost getting lost in day dreams thinking about being back "On Cape" again this summer. I think I'll start my weekend treks early this year! (Last year, I tried so desperately to make it to the Tihonet village market's cranberry bog tours, but every weekend last summer, it rained. I was soooo bummed.) Cape Cod, in particular the town of Wareham, is home to Ocean Spray and their bazillion cranberries and bogs. Oh what a treat to see those bright little berries floating around under the sun. Sigh!
A fellow photographer Wendy just informed me that some seals were seen basking off the coast last weekend. I don't think I've ever seen seals, so I might check it out!
