Day Nineteen: Riding dirty revisited

Yesterday was an adventure. This was suppose to be posted yesterday, but due to a flat tire all the way up in Eastham, MA, which is the middle upper cape, I was home to late to post last night. So yesterday afternoon my Mum and I started the drive to Provincetown. It was a beautiful day and it was an enjoyable trip up the Cape Cod National Seashore. Here are some pictures from the day!

 We stopped off on Fort Hill R.d in what I think was Eastham. On a normal day you can see way out onto the ocean, yesterday though there was some really think fog rolling in which made that really neat purple-ish cloud line on the horizon. 

Then we got back on the road and checked out Marconi Beach. It was beautiful and the fog had rolled into the beach making the visibility on the beach itself not very good but it was kind of eerie. 

We finally made it out to Provincetown and hit up Race Point Beach and Herring Cove 

 Here's a hawk! There were a ton of them out there but I only caught this one.

 Here's my mummy!

 This crow was digging around looking for food stuff in the dunes

 The fog started rushing in and made some really cool lines in the sky.

 There were so many birds out at the beach! It was like a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds"

 Saw this garage as we were driving out of town! It was awesome!!

The day was great! The night, not so much. Driving home I blew out a tire and this turned out to be a really expensive trip! I did get to ride in the back of a cop car to the ATM and that was interesting. 

The tow truck came, changed my tire and Mum & I were on our way. A 2+ hour trip into a 3+ hour trip. It was a long night, but a good day.

Peace out

Day Seventeen: Another rainy Tuesday

Good morning! It seems to me like the last 3 Tuesdays have been full of fog and rain. Maybe I am off a bit on my count, but it has been particularly rainy as of late. Rain is good though. It makes the trees, grass and flowers super vibrant and saturated. I love vibrant and bright colors so it works for me.


Speaking of vibrant colors, I went down to Jamestown, RI on Sunday and watched the sunset from Beavertail State Park. It was incredible. Totally worth the 8 dollars in tolls it cost to go there and back over one bridge. Before I went out to Jamestown I spent some time driving through Middletown and went down to Purgatory Chasm. It is essentially just a break in the rock face where the ocean can run through it but it is pretty cool looking.

This place has some pretty spectacular views of the ocean as well! Then I drove over to Sachuest Point Wildlife Reserve. I was not able to actually get out because there are no dogs allowed and I had the pup with me but the road up to where the visitor center is at was pretty beautiful!

I went for a little scenic back road drive after I found out I wasn't going to be able to go into the park and this is what I found.

 Its a fireplace. In the middle of the beach. There was probably a house here at one time and I'm guessing that this was part of the house

 This is my favorite summer flower! I have no clue what they are called, I think they are beach roses, but they smell awesome!

 Here are some more from my scenic drive

How cool looking is this church??

 And now for the sunset at Beavertail! I got lost at first and found this cool tree on a farm.

 Finally I made it to the ocean!

The sunset did not disappoint. I got there about an hour before the sun completely disappeared from the sky and it was beautiful. The ocean crashed up against the rock face and it was fairly quiet and peaceful.  

The sky eventually faded into this incredible pink, red, orange, purple, blue rainbow of color. It was spectacular and vibrant. It was a day very well spent. I hope to have another one like it soon!
