Saquish Summer Sunrise

A break from revisiting Hawaii to show the view I woke up to this morning.

Beach Display

A fun beach display my aunt put together in front of the cottage. Not sure if we will have much for beach weather this Labor Day weekend. 

Saquish Farm House Renovation

Last year, someone bought the Farm House out on the Gurnet for $1.3 million. I think they are spending at least that much on renovating it! Back in…

5th of July

While the 4th of July wasn’t the best beach weather, the 5th of July was just perfect. Looks more like someone’s backyard than the beach. Then again the…

Saquish Seagull

Im actually looking forward to seeing a seagull! That means I’d be hanging down by the water or out at Saquish where this photo was taken. This winter…

Meandering

The past few days have been in the 70s and humid. Perfect days to have been at Saquish. I should have taken a sick day and gone out….

Saquish Shell

A three day weekend is always welcomed. I feel like I’ve been running around all weekend still trying to get the apartment into “shape.” It’s actually looking very…

Saquish Rocks

Some Saquish rocks sunning on the deck.

Sandpipers

I always enjoy watching the cute little sandpipers at the beach. They’re not as cute or as little when they are flying right at you.

Keep Off

With the move to the new apartment, I haven’t really been out to take photos. I did take one photo yesterday but was to lazy to upload the…

Tailgating

As soon as this truck turned in front of me, it brought back so many fun memories of when we were kids tailgating at the beach (bottom photo). …

Brothers

My uncle on the left and his brother on the right. The older they get the more they look alike, even from the back.

Slanted Sail

The winds left over from tropical storm Arthur were still pretty strong over the 4th of July weekend. You can really tell from slant of this sailboat.

Gurnet Farmhouse: The Views

I have always wanted to be able to get to the top deck of this house to take photos of the view. I knew the views would be…

Arthur Takes Over the 4th of July

Hurricane Arthur has created a lot of havoc for the 4th of July festivites. Boston moved it’s fireworks up a day (last night) and Plymouth has postponed the…

Saquish Sunset

While it looked like we were going to get some storms during the Opening of the Beach, things started to clear and we were gifted with a beautiful…

Last Call Hummer

This is how Darren’s band showed up to the event at the beach. They sure do make quite the entrance coming down the beach. 

Opening of the Beach: The Bands

Saturday was Opening of the Beach out at Saquish. My cousins are both and bands and they were the entertainment for the night. Tomato Strings (my cousin Brian…

Saquish Rocks!

I’ve always loved how Saquish has different terrains to the beach. You have the Gurnet with the lighthouse up on a cliff. Then you have the front beach,…

Goggle Man

Saw this guy on the first cross over to the back beach. As I was setting up my shot, a woman stopped and asked how I liked Goggle…

Kite Walk

There was a nice breeze out at the beach, which made it a perfect day to take a kite for a walk.

Saquish Sky

For photos I love having the large white puffy clouds. They give the sky more depth and add to the image. We had a lot of them the…

Homer

This is Homer. Mom and I met him out at Saquish. He was having a wonderful time at the beach and going up and down and greeting everyone….

Beach Roses

A couple more shots showing off the beach roses. We had a couple of really bad storm this winter that did a lot of damage out at the…

Cliff Top View

Besides having a great view of the lighthouse when you go to the edge of the Gurnet you have a great view out into the ocean. I a…

Saquish Nest

It was hard to get a sharp image of this nest. I had the camera on my monopod but it kept moving because I was trying to swat…

The Back Road

I love driving along the back road at the beach. I also love the look of the dirt road, green bushes and a bright blue sky. When they…

At the Beach

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable 4th of July. As is tradition, I spent the 4th out at Saquish with family. I even ended up sleeping…

5th of July

A “live” photo from Saquish. This is my view this morning. Nothing better than waking up to a beautiful day at the beach.

Sunbathing Seals

While I could go down to Chatham and see more seals or even take a seal watcher tour there was something so exciting about seeing these seals out…

Flagged

The last time I was out at Saquish (before this past weekend) was back in March. I had gone out with my aunt and uncle to check the…

Just Around the Corner

On Sunday I went out to Saquish with family. It was a cool day (low 50s) but it was beautiful. As I was driving out, winding along the…

Nailed

This pretty much says it all about the winter storms…Saquish got nailed! 

Stumped

I’ve showed these stumps before on the blog (you can read see the photo here and also read the story about it). They are the remains of an…

Tired

Kind of how I feel…always tired. I need to start getting into an exercise routine. Not just because summer is coming but also to get my energy up. …
