Welcome to Week 39 – M Week: Pearls' Coastal Capers!

Featuring: Marina, Mini, Moon

MARINA
Saquatucket Municipal Marina, Harwich Port MA, May 2021. Saquatucket is a Native American word meaning "at the mouth of the tidal stream”. I remember when I took this photo last spring I saw a huge, interesting boat in dry dock but for some reason I didn't stop to photograph it. I hope to return this year to take more photographs. Maybe I'll do some shopping while I'm there because from what I've read it is the home of the seasonal Seaside Marketplace which offers apparel, art, jewelry, décor, and more.

MINI
Holiday Hill Mini Golf, June 2021. Mini golf is a big thing in this touristy area, especially along busy Route 28 between Yarmouth and Harwich where there are at least five of them! I enjoy the challenge of navigating slopes, traps, tunnels, and water hazards. That's not to say I'm skilled though. If you see a ball flying off the putting green it's probably mine. lol

MOON
Misty moonlight through tree branches, taken on the autumnal equinox 2021. I like this photo only because it reminds me of the feeling of peaceful solitude when I step outside my condo and look up into the night sky through the trees.

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

I agree. The one in this photo is pretty comfortable to visit for me as a non-boater because the people who go there are boaters and non-boaters alike.

It does look a little spooky, doesn't it! Happily, when I was out there taking the photo I felt safe.

Thanks, Maudie! I think part of the mistiness in the photo is due to the fact that my cell phone camera doesn't do very well in low light. But I'm happy with the photo anyway. I sort of like the effect!

Lol, yes .. subtract a few stripes and I guess that's what you'd have! I wonder what the flag in the photo represents.

Enjoyed the pictures, especially the one of the Moon peeping through the branches.

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

Thanks! And I didn't even have to walk past the front steps to take that photo!

Isn't that the truth! Some of my favorites are ones that I didn't plan!

Nice examples of letter "M", Pearls! My favorite is the bright moon shining through the tree. I took pictures of the moon several times, but was never pleased with the result!

Your photos always make me wish that I lived closer to the coast and marinas.

Hi Pearls, I was strongly drawn to your misty, 'kind of spooky' moonlight shot. So beautiful.

I so agree ... the moon can be very hard to capture in photos. And its appearance can change so quickly! I remember last year I set out just before sunrise to photograph the Hunter's Moon. It appeared big, beautiful, and orange! But by the time I got to the place where I wanted to take the photo it had reverted to its normal appearance and was setting. Luck was on my side though. I turned to face the opposite direction and caught a beautiful sunrise!

I understand the feeling of being drawn to the coast. I remember sometime around year 5 of my marriage we were living about 40 miles inland and I told my husband that I wanted us to consider relocating to the coast. He was not open to the idea. Well .... 30 years and one divorce later, here I am living what has been a lifelong dream. Relocating on my own was a big, scary step but I have never regretted it!

Thanks Lilium! When I initially took this photo I felt it didn't come out clear enough but now having posted it I see that the mistiness might be more a feature than a fault! Thanks for stopping by.

I like the moon peeking through the dark clouds and trees. So many memorable events in my life have been associated with such a moon.

Glad you enjoyed the photo! Now that you mention it, misty moonlight triggers some memories for me too. That's part of what I like about looking at photos posted by others in their blogs ... they can be nice reminders of the past.

3 step ... maybe that's the same as what I know as "single step swing". It's about the only dance I could think of to do to this song!
