Dudleyspinner Tie Dye Roving Boston, Cape Cod

 I love light houses, this light house was across the bay on Sandy Neck, we were on the shore near Barnstable at the Harbor Point Restaurant and drove down to the bay.
This is the Nantucket lightship which is put out when the sands shift and sandbars will be a hazard in the waters.  I once had a credit card that had light houses on it. Someone asked me since I live in Kansas why would I have light houses. I replied, I have not always lived in Kansas. I have spent time in many places where there were many light houses.

A week on South Manitou Island in Lake Michigan where the lighthouses kept watch over the many barges and ships passing near the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Nova Scotia, where the light houses, harbors and bays are part of the landscape. Add to that Cape Cod where the shifting sands make the sea unpredictable. Just because I don't live where there are lighthouses, I still miss them.

Dudleyspinner visits Boston, Dudleyspinner Tie Dye Roving

 A little red sock that I started in Chicago and finished at eh Boston Red Sox game in Fenway Park, Boston Massachusetts.
 Cape Cod.  There is something about the sea air that makes me happy.  The bay was calm and the water was cold. I dipped my toes in and stayed in as long as I could. The crabs were starting to come investigate, so I retreated to the sandy shore.
A beautiful sunset at Dennis, We were looking for a lighthouse and only found the Lighthouse Inn. No real lighthouse here. Just a beautiful sunset on the marsh. Some of the shore birds nest here. I loved the peace and quiet of the cape. It feels like small villages.
