Welcome to Week 20: Tour of Cape Cod – T Week!

Featuring: Taffy, Tributary, Treasure, Thachers, Tower, Turtle, Tidal, Trees, Trail

TAFFY
How do you know you're in a seaside town? The local candy store is always well stocked with Salt Water Taffy! Reminds me of vacations at the ocean as a kid and I still can't resist the stuff! lol

TRIBUTARY
Sesuit Creek is a marshy tributary to Sesuit Harbor. I took this photo from Sesuit Overlook at the north edge of the marina.

TREASURE
This treasure chest was sponsored by the Cape Cod Five in South Yarmouth. It's another one of Fitzysnowman's amazing works along this year's Sand Sculpture Trail.

THATCHER'S
In my original photo of Thatcher Park Beach there was not enough contrast between the wooden fence and the sand, and no amount of doctoring with various adjustments would fix it. I almost gave up and then I decided to try this Sahara filter. I'm glad I gave it a try!

TOWER
Harry Potter fan? You'll recognize these towers as the setting of the Hogwarts School. Another fine example of Fitzysnowman's sculpting talent that I found on the annual trail at Kinlin Grover Real Estate in Yarmouth Port.

TURTLE
My turtle trinket box. I've always loved hand painted items and this one is extra special because it is on capiz shell.

TIDAL
Tidal flats just after sunrise at Cold Storage Beach in the Quivet Neck area of South Dennis.

TREES
I took this photo back in June as I was looking up into the trees from my front steps. Since then I've tried several times to redo it to improve the clarity and I have learned just how challenging it it to get a clear photograph of the moon with the camera in my cell phone. I'm having fun trying though!

TRAIL
The trail at Cove Road Landing. Very peaceful.

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

Oh Pearls again you have another lovely display of photos for the letter "T". When I look at your photos it makes me want to travel to that area of yours and visit all these places that you have displayed in your photos. I like the turtle trinket box. Really love your photos.

The treasure chest reminds me of one of my favorite movies, The Count of Monte Cristo, starring Richard Chamberlain.

I enjoyed them all, especially the treasure chest. Great set of pictures.

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

Glad you liked the photos Shartaun! I had a lot of fun setting up the photo of the turtle trinket box .. background, jewelry, viewing angle, etc. Hmm it doesn't sound fun when I describe it .. lol ... but I really find working with still life photography fun and relaxing!

Thank you for the piece of Taffy to enjoy as we strolled through your photos.
Our state fair always had a few stands that made salt water taffy. It was fun to watch it being pulled, and even more fun to buy a bag of fresh, soft taffy!

I agree .. taffy is delicious! In fact I don't think I ever met a piece of candy that I didn't like. lol

Hi Pearls, at first glance, the soft image of paper wrapped taffies reminded me of a bowl of pastel coloured sweet pea flowers (stemless) - find it hard to shake off. Have never tried saltwater taffy but by your description, I think I could enjoy them

Beautiful water scenes as always. I find moon shots tricky too - some have turned out ok but more often not. I sometimes wonder if a tripod would help in regard to delayed shutter speed/faithful image capture. I don't really know enough about cameras and the art of picture taking.

Glad you enjoyed this week's photos! I think you're right about the shutter speed and nighttime photography. I bet there is a setting within the camera app on my phone that I could adjust. There is so much to learn about photography and that's part of why I enjoy it so much .. the challenge!
