Did I mention the lovely Cape flowers?

Open says-a us. So many different species made we four Cape Code adventurers gape as we wound through the many paths of the Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich, Mass. Different stages of purple … and not a dandelion. I hope my iPhone photography provides even a snippet of the wonder that my dear wife…

Artists still shine in garden spotlight

Branching out. In our third straight visit to the Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich, Mass., we discovered the curators are consistently fantastic at discovering artists to install their pieces among the paths. We Cape Cod adventurers appreciated their creativity. Wings of art. I made sure to stop to capture the beauty, and my dear…

These flower gardens in Sandwich still make us feel full

The Cape Cod adventurers chose the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend for a return trip to the Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich, Mass. We happily toured the expansive grounds together during Rhododendron Festival in 2021. My dear wife Karen and I returned ourselves last year. We found the state of blooming from species to…

The Wellfleet connection

My dear wife Karen, our cherished rescue mutt Ellie and I couldn’t wait to show terrific daughter Elisabeth and fantastic fiance George Three just how close the beach is from the tidy cottage we’d rented in Dennis Port. Us three arrived at check-in time on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend,…

Canadian wildfire effects are plain to see in my backyard

Orange hue hangs over the yard. Yes, we can plainly see and feel the effects of dozens of wildfires burning in Canada hundreds of miles from our home are in Central New York. The weather folks are explaining how patterns, pressures and winds have brought the smoke on a direct line over Great Lakes and…

Happy faces for Cape Cod vacation 2023

Joyful spot for us on the Cape. We returned to the near-beach cottage for another year of rest, relaxation and good times in Dennis Port, Mass., for a 10-day stretch that began the Friday of Memorial Day Weekend. My dear wife Karen and our cherished rescue mutt Ellie show how much they love the spot…

Roses gone wild

Pretty blooms all in a row. My dear wife Karen and I pulled into our driveway late afternoon after a sweet 10-day vacation in Cape Cod and walked pretty quickly into the backyard to see what roses row had done during our absence. So many colors. Boom for the bloom! We figured they were on…

What it might be …

Keep your head up. George Two swears this photo capture comes from an everyday sky event in his neck of the woods. Not a tornado. Repeat, not a tornado. Nor a water spout off the lake.
