    Only in Provincetown could Kermit the Frog flaunt his fluorescent colors and ride proudly through the town on the handlebars of a bike, on the way to work at an art gallery.

    Provincetown is a place where it is actually easy, "Bein' Green." If you haven't seen this video in a while, please watch it. You are okay just as you are. Kermit says so!

    Be Green as often as you can.

  • Skipping Stones at Sunset

    Provincetown is a place of beautiful moments. Moments that you enjoy yourself and moments that you observe as others enjoy them.

    This man walked the beach collecting the perfect stones for his purpose. He chose his spot as the sun set and the tide gave him a quiet surface for his game. 

    He practiced a skill he probably learned as a boy. He skipped stones as I watched from high above and some distance away. I hope he enjoyed the peace and beauty of his moment as much as I did.

    These and other photos from our site and published work are available in our Photo Galleries over on SmugMug. You can purchase prints or put your favorite photo on a gift.

    Update 02.10.16: Just found this article from Mother Nature Network:

  • That Mystery Sign on Richmond Street in the North End.

    Admit it! You've stood on Richmond Street in the North End and tried to figure out what the neon tubes used to spell out on this sign.

    Seeing the other side and the address of the building helped us figure it out.

    Yes, it does say "One O Eight Richmond."

    We were curious about what it looked like back in the day and went searching and found a beautiful photo on Nicola108's photostream. We did try to contact the copyright owner to ask if we could use the photo here but did not get a response. So, we are honoring the copyright and providing a Friday Link to the photo.

    108 Restaurant & Lounge

    We found a few clippings in the Boston Globe in the 1970s for the 108 Restaurant and Lounge. From employment ads for staff to a full review in Anthony Spinazzola's "Let's Eat Out" column. 

    In 1994, the Boston Board of Appeal granted permission to change the occupancy from "Restaurant and storage to eight apartments." They included the proviso: "Any exterior changes subject to desing [sic] review by BRA." Maybe that's why the sign is still there, no one knew how to do a desing review!

    Perhaps a few longtime residents can tell us more about 108 Richmond. We love these tales of our city.

  • Adirondack Chairs Seem to Say, “Relax, It’s Summer!”

    Why does the sight of an Adirondack chair say summer to me?

    PC2_2627 - Version 22014-04-21provincetown, chimney worker© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    I remember building a few of these with my father and grandfather using the instructions in a issue of Popular Mechanics. The chairs were in my back yard throughout my childhood. I loved sitting on the arm of the chair my dad, grandpa, or a favorite aunt or uncle occupied.

    Aluminum folding chairs took the place of these on patios and decks for many years. Today, more people seem to understand the importance of a sturdy design with a place for a glass when you settle in to watch the ocean, read a book, or enjoy a sunset.

    Does this photo say "Summer" to you? Summer starts this weekend, so find some time to sit and enjoy the season.

  • Oblivious to the Beauty Around Her in the Public Garden

    This woman, in the Boston Public Garden, seemed oblivious to the beauty around her. She sat down next to this bed of Giant Allium. 

    IMG_7426 - Version 22014-06-01amall -woman-with-a-phone-misses-Spring-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    All around her, people were using phones and cameras to capture the beauty of the flowers and the park.

    She pulled her shawl over her head to shade her phone for better viewing and spent the next half hour or so tapping away in her own electronic world.
