Welcome to Week 35 – I Week: Pearls' Coastal Capers!

Featuring: Iridescent, Ignore, Infrastructure, Industry, Illuminated

IRIDESCENT
A September sunrise makes the water below appear iridescent at Mant's Landing, Robbins Hill Road Beach in Brewster.

IGNORE
Heads up: anthropomorphism ahead! lol The annoyed gull on the right turns his back and chooses to ignore the loudmouth one on the left!

INFRASTRUCTURE
This looks like an average calm spring day on the Dennis/Yarmouth line at Bass River Bridge but if I had stepped in closer to take this photo you'd see crumbling concrete and rusted metal. It's a bridge I drive across frequently so I was happy to read of infrastructure funding that will likely soon be directed toward these essential repairs!

INDUSTRY
Cape Cod Potato Chips is one of the few manufacturing companies on Cape where the main industries are hospitality, construction, and healthcare.

ILLUMINATED
The houses high up on the hill above the water appear illuminated from within due to the reflected glow of sunrise over Lewis Bay.

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

I enjoyed all your pictures, especially the last one of Lewis Bay. Great shot!

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

Thanks! Lewis Bay is really beautiful. All those little "dots" in the water are actually waterfowl. I'm surprised I didn't scare 'em off when I walked out onto the footbridge to take the photo!

I LOVE THOSE GULLS. WE HAVE THE SAME SITUATION. THERE ARE GULLS ON THE ROOF OF A RESIDENCE ACROSS THE STREET. ONE THRONES ON A CHIMNEY AND MAKES NOISE FOR HOURS ON END SOMETIMES. IT IS VERY IRRITATING. IT MAKES MORE NOISE THEN THE ONES ON THE SHORE.

I never knew just how noisy gulls could be until I spent a few minutes watching these two while trying to get a clear photo of them!

Thanks, Maudie! I was happy to discover that particular area of Lewis Bay. I had never been there before and I was bowled over by the amount of wildlife, especially during winter months when so many of the birds migrate south. It was really beautiful!

Lovely selection of photos as usual again for you. You did a good job in all categories featuring the letter "I". I actually forgot it was photo Friday today. One of these weeks I will get back into it again. I so relate to your photos as I too live close to the water. Today here the king tide and high winds were causing a lot of havoc.

Thanks Shartaun. Glad you enjoyed the photos! Isn't it great living near the water?! Well, except when the tides and winds cause trouble as they did in your area yesterday. Hope everything has settled down!

Pearls yes the winds died down and it was trying to snow this morning and then it turned into rain. It was a miserable and cold day with the rain. Because of the high winds and king tide a lot of the seawall has to be repaired. We have had a lot of unusual weather since the middle of November when we had all of that flooding. I hope you are doing well Pearls.

Doing well thanks, Shartaun. Sorry to hear about the cold rainy day in your area. Rainy here today too. Hope it melts the snow we had yesterday!

So enjoyable..... but I chuckled at the one one for "Ignore". Could fit so many situations in life!
I was very busy on Friday, and since we were expecting ice on Saturday, I thought I would wait and catch some pictures of it. But my experience with it left no desire to try to take pictures. I'll write a blog about it.


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

Glad you enjoyed the photos. I had fun photographing the birds .. sure were noisy! Sorry about your experience with the ice. Be safe! I'm trying to get the condo management company where I live to put a little more energy into snow removal and sanding. They tell me they think they're doing a great job but as a former resident of NH I know good snow removal when I see it! lol

Just don't get caught fishing off that big bridge ... they recently made it illegal to do so! Ehhh, probably better to seek out those Stripers from the side of the bridge anyway. No barnacles there to shred your line.
