The Rolling Stones in Oil… On Cape Cod!

Leave a comment

We are huge Rolling Stones fans! We first saw them in concert in the 90s in Hartford, Connecticut and then in 2006  at a huge outdoor concert. They are truly amazing!

In honor of the Stones’ new album that debuts today, Blue & Lonesome, I thought I would post our new Rolling Stones oil painting. One of our friends in Colorado does wonderful oil paintings of some amazing people including The Stones, Beethoven, Steve Jobs and many, many more. Each one is unique unto itself.

We had been admiring this particular painting of The Rolling Stones for quite a while. So, when we were about to move I said to Phil, “It’s now or never. Do we want this in our new home?” Of course we both said, “YES!” And we love it!

Great painting, don’t you think?

Thousands Of Shipwrecks Off Of Cape Cod

Leave a comment

When we went to the Open House at the Coast Guard Station at Coast Guard Beach on Cape Cod last weekend, there was a poster that showed the shipwrecks off of Cape Cod, which we were told was in the thousands. Wow!

This poster is unbelievable, don’t you think? With all of the sand bars and constantly shifting sands, it was very hard to sail around Cape Cod in the early days.

Chatham Lighthouse On A Windy Day

Leave a comment

The flag was blowing at Chatham Lighthouse the other day. And the sky was blue, blue,  blue! What a beautiful day to photograph Chatham Light.

Chatham Light signals boats off of Chatham and Chatham Bar. The building to the right is the Coast Guard Station will go to action when boats are in distress. This is the station that was featured in the Disney movie, The Finest Hours, which is about the the most daring rescue mission in the history of the  Coast Guard.

Nauset Light and the CG Station are a must to see if you are ever on Cape Cod. The views are spectacular!

And if you haven’t seen The Finest Hours, make sure you see it too. The story is unbelievable!

Terrapin Turtle Cages At The Mass Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary On Cape Cod

Leave a comment

As you walk the trails at the Mass Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary in Wellfleet on Cape Cod, you will come across many of these little cages.

“Members of the Day Habilitation program make cages to protect the endangered Diamondback Terrapin Turtle population. This spring they made 25 cages.

These protective cages are delivered to the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary when finished. The staff there knows just where to put the protective cages, since the turtles nest in the same areas every year.

At the end of the summer, the cages are removed after the turtles have hatched. The terrapins, about the size of a quarter, make their way back to the marshes.”

Very interesting…
