Fort Hill in Eastham

I have always loved Fort Hill and I know I am not alone. These photos are from earlier this month....much of what I photographed has now passed on but why not have a last moment of lovely autumn while we can?The poison ivy was turning....Rosa rugosa hips were still red but getting soft....
The milkweed seeds were just setting forth on their journeys across the meadows and beyond...
And even the invasive phragmites were looking rather poetic against the early October sky...
The seed baskets of Queen Anne's lace were still standing strong, keeping guard on the edge of the great marsh....
And the clouds were moving across the sky just ahead of the wind leaving wonderful shadows in their wake...

I've been away from this blog working in classrooms for the last few weeks and will be posting some pictures from my programs as well as other areas very soon.

Sand Paintings

There's something hypnotic about the way the wind and water sculpts the sand between tides....

Art in Nature

So many times I see things that are beautiful paintings, sculptures, drawings....and they are made by nature and not meant to last. The art that nature makes is usually transitory and often goes unseen and unremarked....

Here are some lovely beach paintings to enjoy.
