"Time and tide wait for no man." ~ Geoffrey Chaucer

And now for the fun picture(s) that I promised in my last post!  Bruce and I made a trip to the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary to do some hiking around and picture taking.  Portions of the trails become submerged at high tide, and we ran across Dale and Janice, who happened to find themselves cut off from dry land! Intrepid hikers that they are, they rolled up their pants (or at least Janice did) and waded to shore.  We all had a good laugh and I got their e-mail address in order to send along their photos and ask permission to use them in a post - which they very good-naturedly agreed to!





Thank you Dale and Janice for letting us share in your adventure!

We saw many beautiful sights as we hiked along.









On another outing, we hiked through some sand dunes near Provincetown - it was almost like being in a different world - very windswept and beautiful.  Bruce spied a seal near the shore and then pointed in the distance, where we could see what I estimate to be between 30-40 seals in a small cove.  There was no getting closer from where we were, but in speaking with someone later in the day, she indicated that at low tide we would be able to walk along the shore and get right to where they were - perhaps next year! 










Out our front door at sunset.

  1. Tracy-

    I don't know how you make time to post, read, photograph, experience, craft, and view so much on the internet and in life, but I have so enjoyed what I've seen so far! The Julia Child Remix video and the winds were two of my recent favs! You should publish a yearly book, but then you have, haven't you! Keep up the good work!

    1. Thank you Amy! Your words mean a to to me! I guess that I can look back on my first year (plus a few months) of retirement and say that I haven't been bored for a moment. This is a good thing!

  3. T., this collection is pure poetry. I could gaze at the screen for hours. What a clear point of view and strong body of work you are creating. p.s. how cool that you were there at that moment to see the turtles.

  5. Wonderful pictures!!! Looks like a beautiful place and I can almost feel the wind and smell the air! Thank you, for taking us with you for a little bit!

    PS: Oh my, isn't it dangerous, to be cut off from dry land? It would give me the creeps - very glad you made it back safe and happy! :)

    1. So glad you like the pictures - it really is a beautiful place!

      Fortunately, they would have just been stranded on the other side of the trail (on dry land) till the tide went out, but it would have been a couple of hours!
