This post is dedicated to a woman who I knew, but slightly, and who died this week. She devoted her vacations to building Habitat for Humanity homes, eschewed cars and rode a bicycle everywhere. — Loved folk music, telling stories, and walking.


Her life of probably thirty-five years had been narrowing down—first she lost a job she loved, a relationship ended, and life for her became more of a struggle—balancing on a tightrope — losing her grasp.

I know there's a cadre of singers—and she's joining them— singing loud and clear.

carmitage Unfortunately when on the slippery road it is very difficult
to grab on. Very sad story and a beautiful post,

Very beautiful pictures, I went through everyone of them again
and again, beautiful warm colours and light.

jonrake as a former New Englander, I have a special place in my heart for the Cape. This is a wonderful photoessay of P-Town.

Did you walk the rocks in photo #6? There is a great beach on the other side and a long walk in the sand takes you to long point lighthouse
