PICTURES FROM THE PUMPKIN PATCH


We got up that morning and headed out in search of something interesting to photograph. I had no doubt we'd found something and I assumed, given our very beachy location on Cape Cod, that we'd come to a harbor, ships, ocean ... something watery.




Instead, we found the world's most amazing pumpkin patch ... a church-run enterprise where they grow thousands upon thousands of pumpkins, then sell them to raise money for the church. A very Cape Cod and New England variation on the old-fashioned bake sale.





We both took a lot of pictures. Garry and I, seeing the same scene from our individual perspectives. Always fun to go shooting with a pal and then compare what you've come up with.

GOING HOME



Not sorry to leave this place, but sorry to be leaving Cape Cod. Nice, though, that it's close enough to come anytime on a day trip. Sometimes we forget it's just a little more than an hour away ... with no traffic. And it's good to be "not at home" no matter where else it is. A change of scenery is good for the soul.



I'm always afraid what I'll find when I get home. A thousand pounds of junk mail, hysterical dogs, half a foot of matted dog hair, urgent messages on the answering machine, scary messages on the answering machine. What will be will be. I just hope that nothing awful is waiting for me. Please, let there not be something awful.
