Welcome to Week 30 – D Week: Pearls' Coastal Capers!

Featuring: Delicate, Damage, Daisies, Dock, Dancing

DELICATE
I was walking past the Pelham House Resort in Dennis Port back in early September on my way to take some photos at an adjacent public beach when these delicate flowers caught my eye. These were part of the resort's nicely done landscaping. Not to be outdone, the wildflowers growing at the beach were spectacular too!

DAMAGE
A storm-damaged fence at Cold Storage Beach. I took this photo a little more than a week after the remnants of Hurricane Ida moved through the Cape. Beach maintenance in this area is typically very good but I'm sure they had other more immediate concerns as a tornado had touched down during the storm only a few miles away.

DAISIES
Merrill Memorial Conservation Park can be seen from a busy road. I happened to be driving past it when I noticed these daisies in bloom … in mid-October! First frost is late on Cape Cod because fall coastal weather patterns are influenced by the ocean which is still warm from the summer.

DOCK
The dock at Aunt Julia Ann's Landing in early May. This is one of the many public boat launches on Cape, and a real winner if you like tranquil riverside views.

DANCING
A seagull practicing the Hokey Pokey dance (“You put your right foot in. You put your right foot out ….”). I had fun preparing this photo to post it. I took in in “live mode” with my phone so I was able to select from the multiple images one that had the gull's foot up as he was getting ready to take a step.

Thanks for joining me for Pearls' Coastal Capers - “D week”!

Lovely "D" photos, Pearls. I love the beautiful delicate pink flower, and the pretty daisies. That Seagull has the right moves alright.

GREAT PHOTOS. WE HAVE SAND BERACHES BUT NO DUNES. OUR CONCRETE DOCK WAS SPLIT IN TWO BY HUGE WAVES AND OUR GULLS ARE DANGEROUS. NOW THERE IS A D, DANGEROUS.

By now, you know me well enough to know how I enjoy the pictures of the water. I can't quite see it clearly, but that looks like a bench on the end of the dock.... I could sit there and watch the waters, or on the bench by the gull.... except I would be afraid he might drop some Do-Do on me.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Great set of pictures, I enjoyed them all, especially the one of the Seagull!

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

The Dancing Seagull is the best.

Wow that sounds like an incredibly powerful storm to split a concrete dock in two! Glad you are safe!!

I don't remember whether there was a bench at the end of the dock but I agree that it looks like there might be. Wouldn't be surprised .. they seem to put benches everywhere around here! Not complaining. I think it's a great idea!

Glad you enjoyed the photos! I had an afterthought about the gull photo. I think he should have been practicing the Hully GULL-y! lol

Glad you enjoyed the gull photo! I had fun with the editing, trying to find just the right frame to catch him with his foot up.

I very much enjoyed your 'D' offerings, especially the delicate pink blooms and sand dune/damaged fence. It's not often one comes across a seagull doing the hokey pokey in such earnesty, so what a find! You have a very promising student Pearls.

Thanks Lilium! The fence photo speaks to me on so many levels. I took it at my favorite time of day, just after dawn. The tidal pools surrounding the sand flats in the background are always fascinating and teeming with sea life. There is only one other person on the beach, more enjoyable for me than days when it's crowded. And the dunes remind me of how beautiful but fragile the coastal ecosystem is.
