It is finally warm around here! It’s still pretty windy and I’m not ready to give up my gloves quite yet but I have traded my winter jacket in for a heavy fleece jacket. That’s some progress, right?
The sun play peek-a-boo with me today but it was still beautiful in the soft light.
I am still working on this series of little watercolors and here is today’s piece. My mother always said once you had sand in your shoes you’d never leave the beach….
It is only a few days before Memorial Day and the Cape Cod beaches are beautiful…and still pretty quiet so come for a walk with me…
First we’ll take a turn by the sweet smelling rosa rugosa’s which are blooming really early this year…
We will stop to admire the beach peas, also blooming really early….and while we’re at it we’ll look out over Nantucket Sound…
Here’s a close up of those lovely beach peas…
We’ll enjoy the view of the sliver that remains of Egg Island, that only shows up at low tide. That’s Great Island in Yarmouth in the background.
We’ll stop to look across Lewis Bay in the amazing light…
Check out some courting least terns…
and smile at the ones lined up at the edge of the water…
And then we’ll take one last long look at the sand, sea and sky before we head back to work…
