Welcome to Week 18: Tour of Cape Cod – R Week!

Featuring: Robbins, Rosa, Rabbit, Rocks, Rowboat, Restaurant, Rhododendron, Reflection

ROBBINS HILL ROAD BEACH
The summertime parking restrictions have finally been lifted and now I can get back out there to enjoy some sunrise photography! I took this photo a few days ago at Robbins Hill Road Beach – Mant's Landing in Brewster, MA. The streak that looks like a comet is actually a jet contrail.

ROSA RUGOSA
I have tons of photos of Rosa Rugosas that I could have posted but I chose this one because the season is ending and this rose might be the last one I'll find this year. Also, that dark spot in the middle of the flower adds a little interest. It's a bee!

RABBIT
Back in July I was at Bass River Park in West Dennis to photograph the Canada Geese and look what I found … a Cottontail Rabbit! I expected him to scurry into the underbrush as soon as he noticed me but he continued eating breakfast for a while before hopping away.

ROCKS
Natural coastal rock formations are not that common on Cape Cod so I'm pretty sure the rocks in this Sea Street Beach photo are a man-made barrier to reduce coastal erosion.

ROWBOAT
This rowboat planter is a great way of welcoming visitors to Corporation Beach. I was happy to find it still full of blooming flowers even late in the season when I went over to grab a photo of it this past week.

RESTAURANT
Special effects! A candy colored sky surrounds Clancy's Restaurant on the riverfront.

RHODODENDRON
A Rhododendron shrub in full bloom the first week of May in my front yard.

REFLECTION
Part of a previous photo shoot in which I featured wildlife at Crab Creek, this shot instead features the stillness of the water and the reflection of the trees and sky.

Thanks for joining me for “R week” on Cape Cod!

Grand photos, as usual. I chuckled at Mr. Rabbit.... wondered how you got it to sit still for the picture or if you took it with zoom from far away.
I must be having an off day though, because your pictures of the ocean brought tears to my eyes, remembering good times and knowing they can't be repeated.

A beautiful selection of "R" photos, really pleasing to the eye. I love the cute little rabbit, and I did spy the bee in the pretty rosa, and the rhododendron shrub is a real beauty. My favourite is the reflection in the water photo, just so peaceful and still.

I love your selection of "R's" Much appreciated because I live in landlocked West Virginia. The "Wabbit" is adorable. We have plenty of them in West Virginia.

I know what you mean about how photos can evoke strong emotions when they bring you back to a particular point or experience in your life. Hugs.

The rabbit was surprisingly unconcerned about my presence. I think I was about ten feet from him when I took that photograph and he just kept munching away as I took lots of photos!

Thank you! I remember how peaceful it was that morning at Crab Creek as I was standing on the bridge and photographing the water below.

Thank you! The rabbit really was cute! You're lucky to have lots of them around where you live. They're fun to watch.

Love your selection of R photos......I considered many of the same R topics......Rosa Rugosa almost won out......There are a lot of them along the shore here.......The hips are still green.......I pick a lot of the tight bud and string them......I hang them by my bed, in the bathroom and from the mirror in my car.....they waft their lovely fragrance into the Winter....... I also pick the hips and dry them for tea..........

I have really enjoyed your alphabet photos...

Your photos speak of calm and order as usual Pearls. :- )
I very much liked the inclusion of pink and apricot tones, especially that of Clancy's Restaurant.

PearlsWithMyJeans as usual you have a nice display of photos to honor the letter "R". They are all so different and each photo is unique. Each Friday we get to enjoy so many photos that were taken in all parts of the country.

Thank you! And thanks for the ideas about how you use the Rosa Rugosa. So far my enjoyment of them has been limited to looking at them and photographing them. Who knew of these great uses for them?!

Thank you! Here's the inside scoop on the Clancy's photo .... I took it at sunrise and it was such a dark photo you could barely see the restaurant. Well, after much editing I was able to lighten up the building enough to discern it but in the process I turned the sky and river candy-colors! I almost didn't post it but then I decided that I liked the colors even though they gave the photo a surreal look.

Thanks, Shartaun. And I agree about how much fun it is to take this weekly tour and see what it's like in the various areas where we all live!

Yes, I know what you mean re editing and not necessarily getting the desired outcome. I don't think it comes across as too surreal as there are early dawns with delicate pink/peach casts - editing aside, it's a most beautiful greeting to the day
