Dingy

Something about this little dingy just caught my eye during our visit to the Mayflower in Plymouth, MA. It seemed so small and rickety that it was hard to imagine it bringing loads of settlers over to the ‘new land’. This little boat was an interesting little part of a fascinating visit to the Mayflower.

As odd as it sounds, we were actually running AHEAD of schedule on our recent visit out to Nantucket. Usually it seems as if we are scrambling in an effort to get from point A to point Z in time, but thankfully this time we had time to spare. While we waited for the ferry to arrive, Gramps drove us to a nice little beach in Hyannis.
The sun was just rising over an unusually calm ocean and it created a wonderful, golden landscape. We spent an hour or so walking the beach collecting shells and taking pictures of various birds and wildlife. Just as we were about to leave, I heard a couple geese flying by. I turned just in time to get a picture of this goose as it broke the surface of the water. Such a special memory from the start of an amazing vacation.

So everyone might not be as excited about this picture as I am…but it’s my site, so deal with it. I took this picture while Jen and I were celebrating our 10 year anniversary in San Francisco. We were on a boat over to Alcatraz when we passed this buoy bobbing up and down.
I took the shot without much thought, but every time I flick through my pictures from the trip I always stop at this one. Not because it’s a great pic (it’s actually not really even ‘good’), but rather because I find it odd that I can’t remember the last time I have seen an actual buoy! We’re near water in Michigan each summer, but it’s a lake – and I don’t recall any buoys. Anyway, I thought it was neat so I decided to post it. Hope you like it.
