A favorite photo from Chatham last week. Sunrise haze through the leaves. #eastcoastkin #sunrise #capecod
This photo shows a fishing boat at sunrise in Chatham, MA on Cape Cod. The mist is rising from the beach grass and the light has made everything pink and gold. The scene is shot through the leaves of a tree’s hanging branches.

Figured you would get a kick out of this @tonx.coffee @yesplz.coffee. It's a screenshot of a video I had saved from Nov 3, 2019. You've been doing good work for a long time! #coffeesky #coffeefeed #coffeenerds
The photo shows a carafe of coffee being poured into a mug. The photo is from November 3, 2019 and shows a bag of Yes Plz Weekly coffee in the background. And also some pastelitos de guayaba. The photo was taken in Miami, FL.

I've been demo'ing some new camera bodies before upgrading and had a really fun time of it this weekend. Love these rushes in the salt marsh with the rising sun behind them. #eastcoastkin #bloomscrolling #sunrise #naturephotography #capecod
The photo shows rushes in a salt marsh on Cape Cod. The rushes are backlit by the rising sun and appear to be glowing.

A fist full of dahlias for this Friday's #bloomscroll. Found at the Falmouth Farmers Market last week. I find the design and the colors astoundingly beautiful.
The photo shows a bouquet of dahlias in pinks and orange varigated with red, all the way to dark red and almost purple. These flowers were purchased at the Falmouth Farmers Market on #CapeCod last week.

In addition to his iconic design work for Polaroid, my father wrote and illustrated "a baker's dozen" of books, built toys, started a magazine about artisans on Cape Cod... AND loved to do silkscreen prints. On this day, he would have been 97, so it's fitting to post his "Cape Cod Autumn". RIP PG
The image is a silk screen print, by Paul Giambarba, from the 1960's, part of a four part series depicting the four seasons on Cape Cod. This one is "Autumn" and shows the marsh color in orange and red. A signature (Matisse inspired) seagull flies overhead. The ocean is to the right and olive hills are in the distance.

The view of Mont Sainte-Victoire from Aix en Provence. May it inspire you as it inspired Cézanne. #scape #ForestFriday #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin
The photo shows a view of Mont Sainte-Victoire from a vantage point in Aix en Provence. There are a number of evergreens in the foreground and the mountain against the blue sky in the background. This mountain was particularly inspiring to Paul Cézanne who painted it repeatedly.

Nothing says "freedom" like a resurgence of childhood diseases and calling decades of effective vaccination campaigns "slavery".
The photo is a screenshot from the New York Times, showing the Florida Surgeon General and the Florida Governor at a press conference where they announced their decision to end all vaccine mandates in the state.

Cairns & Coffee on the bike path between Falmouth and Woods Hole. Delicious Ethiopian, produced by Tagel Alemayehu, roasted by Crema Coffee Roasters in Nashville, TN. That's Martha's Vineyard in the distance on left, Nobska Lighthouse Keeper's House in center. #coffeesky #coffeenerds #coffeefeed
The photo shows an area where people stack rocks on top of each other to form cairns, beside the ocean in Falmouth, MA on Cape Cod. On the tallest pile of rocks is a mug, taking the place of the top rock. The mug is beige porcelain and matches the hues of the rocks all around. The ocean is in the background, with Martha's Vineyard clearly visible in the distance on the left and the Nobska Lighthouse Keeper's House visible in the distance in the center right.

We actually had a mostly haze free sunset the other night over at Mashpee Beach on #capecod. And it was a banger!

(Also, can it be overstated how nice it is to not have to post something in 9:16?)
A golden sunset near Mashpee Beach on Cape Cod. Silhouetted grasses are in the foreground, with the clouds and sun reflected in the tidal marsh behind them.

Moments of serenity, with coffee, the sea air... it all makes me feel so lucky that this is just a short drive away and it is accessible. Coffee was an Ethiopian from Gedeb, roasted by DAK Coffee Roasters in Amsterdam. #coffeesky #coffeefeed #coffeenerds
The photo shows a gray coffee mug sitting in the sand by the ocean's edge on #capecod. In the foreground and background are clumps of seaweed, the waves and a large rock out in the ocean.

23 years ago today, I took this photo while fishing in Biscayne Bay and it sparked my love for photography.

In July in 2017, I kneeled down in the Everglades and took a photo of what I believe was a wild pea plant. I still like the photo to this day.
A few seconds into focusing, I realized I had kneeled in a pile of fire ants. Always good to check your surroundings! #bloomscrolling
The photo shows the red blossom of what I believe is a wild pea plant in the Florida Everglades. Photo was taken in July of 2017.

We have a lot of wild thyme as ground-cover. It’s not my favorite, but the bees can’t get enough of it when it blossoms. #bloomscrolling

These cicadas LOVE the Kousa Dogwoods. And I’m sure I speak for many when I say, “Ok, guys… wrap it up! We are good for another 17 years!” #cicadas #capecod
The image shows two cicadas on a Kousa Dogwood leaf. One more cicada can be seen peering over from the other side of the leaf. Cicadas have been out in force on the upper Cape of #capecod

Turnout for #nokings in Falmouth, MA was many times more than the protest in April. Huge turn out today despite the rain. And this sign was my favorite.
The image shows a woman sitting in a chair at the No Kings protest in Falmouth on Cape Cod, MA. Her sign says “So bad even the introverts are here”

Dew on a rosebud from a couple mornings ago. Looks like a Swarovski creation. #bloomscrolling
The image shows a bright magenta rose, covered in droplets of water from the morning dew. These droplets look like - in my opinion - little crystal beads.

Peaceful start to the day in the garden, with coffee. This is a really delicious washed-process, Lychee Bourbon, Jairo Nuñez Escudero from Colombia and roasted by Little Wolf in Ipswich, MA. #coffeenerds #coffeefeed
The image shows a beige ceramic mug, full of coffee, sitting on the potting soil between a row of swiss chard and pak choy seedlings.

Windows open. Sounds of nature. That first sip of coffee. Feels better than a million dollars. #coffeefeed #coffeenerds
