Welcome to Week 27 – A Week: Tour of Cape Cod, now known as Pearls' Coastal Capers! Featuring: Ancient, Aftermath, Azure, Accessible, Abalone ANCIENT Possibly hard to read on a small screen, this plaque says “Ancient Cemetery. Seventeenth century burial ground for the first English settlers of the south side of this town, near the site of a pre-historic Native American burial ground.”. It was off season when I pulled into a Dennis, MA parking lot to explore this plaque and the surrounding area. The adjacent bike trail was quiet. The only sound came from the rustling leaves. AFTERMATH A huge pine tree that fell squarely between my condo building and the nearby parking spaces, taken down by wind gusts up to 80 mph. Whew, that was close! This is the aftermath of a powerful Nor'easter that knocked out power to my building and over three quarters of Cape Cod residents on October 27th. Storms can happen at any time but happily the official “hurricane season” ends in a couple of weeks. AZURE The azure sky is a contrasting backdrop for reeds at Clippers Launch, Dennis Port in early May. ACCESSIBLE Mobi-mats, ramps, and boardwalks are part of Cape Cod's plan for more accessible beach-going. This is dawn at Robbins Hill Road Beach, Mant's Landing in Brewster on a breezy September morning. I wish I had known about accessible beaches during my mother's later years. She loved the ocean and I can easily picture wheeling her chair out onto this ramp. ABALONE Abalone shell, also called Paua, is used to create jewelry such as this necklace. Most abalone jewelry is either vintage or made from farmed stock because over-fishing has led to regulation of wild stock. I always enjoy still life photography and this shot was especially fun, trying to figure out how to suspend the necklace and what to use as background. Thanks for joining me for Pearls' Coastal Capers - “A week”! A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

I can imagine how much fun it would be to work with a material that changes colors as new layers are revealed! A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

Thanks Lilium! The reeds photo was an unanticipated "find" in my archive. I took it in May when I was trying to find an estuary photo for E week. The full photo includes sand, shoreline, and water. But I never posted it because the water was brackish and the photo wasn't very pretty. It caught my attention this week when I was looking through my archive for "azure" and figured out that I could crop out most of the original photo and just present the reeds and sky. A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!
