  • Provincetown Is a Dogtown

    One of the things we love about Provincetown is that it is a dogtown. We enjoy watching and meeting the dogs that are welcomed by this small town at the end of the land.

    You'll see them in packs like this band of Bulldogs.

    IMG_8650 - Version 22015-10-05-provincetown-dogs-corgies-© 2014 Penny Cherubino

    You'll see them in pairs like these Corgis – a popular breed with the locals.

    They come large enough to invite stares from passersby.

    IMG_8652 - Version 22015-10-05-provincetown-dogs-© 2014 Penny Cherubino

    Some are moving right along as they help run errands.

    Others want everyone to slow down so they can stop and smell the flowers.

    IMG_8662 - Version 22015-10-05-provincetown-dogs-© 2014 Penny Cherubino

    Some are visiting while others hold full time jobs as greeters at local businesses.

    Some like this young pup have favorite businesses they can't wait to enter. Fortunately, many shops welcome dogs, but we always ask.

    And, almost every Provincetown dog loves a good beach walk.

    We highly recommend this lovely place for a fall escape. Each year, more places stay open for a longer season. Here is a link to some dog friendly spots from the wonderful folks at Pilgrim Bark Park.

  • Rainy Day at the Old Granary Burying Ground

    Rain does not deter Boston's history buffs. A bit of rain on Tuesday morning brought out umbrellas over some of the visitors to the Old Granary Burying Ground.

    IMG_8786 - Version 22015-10-13Old-granary-burial-ground-rain-toursits-boston-© 2014 Penny Cherubino

    Tours with costumed guides continued.

    IMG_8776 - Version 22015-10-13Old-granary-burial-ground-rain-toursits-boston-© 2014 Penny Cherubino

    Jazzy red umbrellas added a bit of color to the scene.

    In addition to the tour groups, there were people strolling in pairs and solo visitors.

    With the help of a friend, this woman stayed dry while she took a closer look at one of the grave markers.

  • We Love Pears!

    This family has a long running love of pears. Once I gave Ed a loaf of bread and a bag of pears for Valentine’s Day. One of his co-workers found that so odd that he mentioned it every time I saw him. Ed, however, was a happy valentine. He loves bread and pears.

     CHE_8837 - Version 22015-09-12pears-forelle-© 2014 Penny Cherubino

    But, why not? What’s not to love about pears? They are available year-round and come in varieties that are both delicious and beautiful. The ones in the photo above are Forelle, which means trout in German. They were named for their spots. 

    IMG_8548 - Version 22015-09-22-bosc-pears-foppama-farm© 2014 Penny Cherubino

    Bosc are crisp and a great pears for cooking or baking. 

    IMG_3779 2 pears - Version 22015-09-19pears-forelle-anjou-© 2014 Penny Cherubino

    Pears also come in various sizes. Here’s a tiny Seckel next to an unripe Bartlett.

    IMG_3792 3 pears - Version 22015-09-19pears-forelle-anjou-bartlett© 2014 Penny Cherubino

    They also come in different colors, green and red and yellow when ripe.

    IMG_8550 - Version 22015-09-22-asian-pears-foppama-farm© 2014 Penny Cherubino

    Then, there are Asian pears with their tawny, greenish-yellow to caramel coloring.

    We love eating pears and we love photographing them. And this is the best time of year for local pear lovers. So stop by a farmers market or orchard and see what pears local growers have to offer.

  • Sailing onto the Mooring

    The man at the tiller of this lovely little catboat did a picture perfect job of sailing onto his mooring in Provincetown Harbor.

    CHE_9148 - Version 22015-10-06small-provincetown-sailing-catboat-© 2014 Penny Cherubino

    This was one of our team photos. Ed spotted the picture and I had my camera at the ready. This was taken a few days after a storm and those streaks you see floating in the water are seaweed that was washed ashore.

    We've just returned from a period of rest and relaxation in this town on the tip of Cape Cod. We highly recommend visiting in the slower months when the quiet is deep and the light is a photographer's dream.

    Prints and merchandise with this photo are available from our gallery.
