Virtual vacation

I haven't been to Cape Cod in years, or the beach at all actually. I miss it and have felt in need of a vacation so I am taking a virtual one. I googled CapeCod spots and here are some picks I took from the internet. I think I may have been in these spots, they seem familiar...

 
 
 

 
 
This lighthouse is in Provincetown, we probably were there as we went to a lot of lighthouses...




plus here are some pics from the last time we went......(over 30 years ago)


me and my brother


and some rocks I painted to remind me of the ocean...





Remembering sand,
salt water smell, lobster shacks,
kite shops in P-Town

Happy PPF & haiku my heart!

  1. Very cool photos, both the old and the new ones from the virtual trip. Were you painting rocks 30 years ago? I wasn't sure about Haiku My Heart today as Rebecca and others are in Mexico, but I finally did a Haiku post as it has been quite a while since I joined the human race. Love your paintings. Hope all is well.

    Peace

  4. It may be time for a real road trip - although your virtual one is a great idea. I don't live on the beach but I do live on an island and am surrounded by intracoastal waterways. The beach is not far and there is very little traffic and no tolls (unlike when I lived in NY). Those painted rocks are quite lovely.

  9. I was in Mystic, CT over 40 years ago. Oh how I wish I had more pictures from that time. Alas, I had not discovered my love of the camera yet and the few pictures I do have are so deeply buried, even several hunts have not seen them surface. It would be a dream to go back again sometime.
