Summer Fun

Fun with filters and lenses.  All there was to do on a hot, humid day.


This one is kind of interesting.


I like this as well but you can't focus with these filters so that's kind of a drawback.

I forgot to mention that my bff Holly was in town and we got together one day.  It was so great to see her and we picked up where we left off.  Last time I saw her was 19 years ago before I moved to Washington.  I got to see her hubby and meet her sons.  She wanted to walk on a beach, check out an old cemetery and go to the Christmas Tree shop.  We also got ice cream and hit up a souvenir store.  I took her to Onset for the beach portion of our day.





Then to the cemetery in Wareham off Tihonet Road.

And the Christmas Tree Shop. For those who have never been in one, it's not all holiday themed till the holidays.  They sell all kinds of things....souvenirs, housewares, dry goods, yard/garden stuff. This one is in Sagamore next to the bridge.

On the way home from Provincetown, we stopped at this super kitschy souvenir store so that I could get pics of these really cool floats.

They make me wish I had a pool, or access to a pond.




I saw these on the road at another place, and you can hook them up so that water comes out of the unicorn's horn point and the t-rex's nose. 

How awesome are these??

I was cutting back branches and vines a couple weeks ago and nearly lopped this branch off till I saw the bunch of grapes.  I am hoping they ripen up nicely.  

Cool clouds.

Russell's been dying to go quahogging (clamming) so I went with him even though it was wicked hot.  I don't like being left at home alone anymore w/o a doggie.  This is the Bourne Water District building.  I've always loved that faucet over the arch.

We went to Monk's Park in Pocasset.



It was low tide and the water was as warm as bathwater.  Not refreshing at all.  I only waded in to my ankles.  Russell only got a couple quahogs that were the right size.  All the rest were tiny.  There were other quahoggers there as well who also weren't having much luck.

We didn't stay very long as it was just too hot.

St. Patrick's Cemetery, Wareham

Across from Centre Cemetery is St. Patrick's.  






The quote says, "The world is like a mirror, reflecting what you do, and if you face it smiling, it will smile right back at you."  




These next pics were taken down Tihonet Road, near the cranberry bogs.




I love this awesome retro Mill Pond Diner, on Rte. 28 in Wareham.  We finally had breakfast there a few days after I took this and it was really good and reasonably priced!

Centre Cemetery, Wareham

I spied this picturesque cemetery on my way to the cranberry festival and made a mental note to go back on a nice afternoon.  


It's huge, and the part I was interested in was extremely old, with graves to the mid 1800s, but there were a lot that were so weather worn you couldn't see anything anymore.


The stone work was beautiful in those days.





It was 75 degrees the day I went.  The foliage is peaking and starting to go by.  It's a very small window.


"Thy Will Be Done"







Died at sea at age 11 in 1854.  I wonder what happened?  Did he take sick and die?  Was he lost overboard?
