It is a rainy Thursday morning here in Chatham. I have been here since Monday. My friends and I have enjoyed excellent weather until the heavy rain hit this morning. I started working on the photos for this posting about two hours ago and since then, the sun is making an effort to appear. However, scattered thunderstorms are on tap for the rest of the day. I am sharing a few photos from this most recent visit to the Cape. I have been coming here on an annual basis since 2002 or so, staying in the same rented home near Cockle Cove Beach in Chatham. The village of Chatham has an idyllic quality that captivates this annual visitor. It sits on the elbow of Cape Cod with beaches on the Atlantic and also Nantucket Sound. The shops are quaint, the pubs are crowded, the fresh seafood is excellent, and it is not easy to find a parking place after a certain hour in the morning. The first photos below were taken this morning just outside the doors of our rental home. They demonstrate the look of a rainy, dreary day. There is a bit of irony in that as I write this, the sun is shining intermittently through the clouds. At any rate this posting will move from the dreary start of today to some photos taken on the days just preceding this one. I used Black and White to accentuate the dreariness and the green plant to display the rain drops at rest. I am using the gallery format below, so be sure to click on the photo for the full image.
My annual visits have produced numerous photos of the flora and fauna on this enchanting peninsula, but I continue to shoot one more flower and find one more rabbit or bird that I can capture. I am not sure these repetitive efforts result in a better product, but I continue to try. At the very least, the current photos are a fresh look at familiar objects of interest. Below is a portfolio of recent photos that present a current view of the Chatham area. I take the photos when I walk or ride the bike. The camera rests in my hand or dangles from my neck as I continue to look for newer versions of the old.
There may be more to come during my final two days.
