On our way back to the dock,
leaving the Humpback whales to their stomping grounds,
and the humans to forage on land.
Whale watching on Cape Cod with the Dolphin Fleet.
This I miss the most!
More photos tomorrow!

What is it about the moon that speaks to us?
Perhaps it is that our ancestors from long long ago admired and loved that rocky orb,
and it is deep in our cells to respond somehow to its beauty.
Last month's super moon,
the night before the eclipse.
The eclipse!
Earth's shadow moves across her moon.
Sun, Earth and Moon in perfect alignment.
On vacation and settled into a little cottage on a clear night, on Cape Cod, without my tripod!
(These shots are a testament to the genius of the engineers who developed digital cameras.
I was able to change the "ISO" (film speed) to a whopping 1600. The only wobbly shots are the ones in total shadow.)

Lobster traps and buoys.
And a place to sit,
On your way down the pier.
Provincetown, Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

The clouds above us join and separate,
The breeze in the courtyard leaves and returns.
Life is like that, so why not relax?
Who can stop us from celebrating?

From a moving car,
the background is almost stationary – almost.
The foreground is whizzing by.
You can learn things about yourself
when you step outside of your ordinary life.
Things that are obvious once you get hit over the head with them,
like –
we aren't going to live forever,
me and my friends,
we aren't going to live forever.
Of course you know that,
but when you lose a friend you were sure you would see again and again,
it hits you.
No matter how perfect or imperfect that house on the hill is,
it will one day be gone.

If I weren't a photographer,
would I be a writer?
It turns out that I can't post photos from my phone
to the blog,
so,
not being in possession of a tablet,
my blog will be dark for a while.
(Unless I suddenly become a writer…
we will see!)
In the meantime,
here's one for the road.

Dressed in Hibiscus leaves,
this not naked Lady
was shining in the shade
like a star

After a day of storms,
the beach beckons
and there's a wedding against the backdrop of the green water
under a canopy of clouds.
Meanwhile…
Life goes on-
surfers surf,
and birds scamper for their food,
while folks walk or ride their bikes or swim,
oblivious to the special moment that is paramount to the people attending,
especially, one could hope, to the hapless couple!
All best to one and all!
St. Augustine Beach, Anastasia State Park, September 12th, 2015.

When our lives become more outward,
for whatever reason,
we get really busy
or
find a new friend
or
become a grandparent
or
a parent,
then there is less time to ponder our inner world.
This is not bad or good,
it just is!
So long as we enjoy the cacophony that is living.
St. Augustine Beach, June 2015.

Sometimes our furry companions positively glow.
