Yesterday was Diwali - Festival of Lights

Steve forwarded me this satellite photo of India. Extraordinary!

Man, I love boardwalks!

I hung out in Cape Cod for a couple of days over the Columbus day weekend this month. I rented a bicycle and spent most of one day on the CCRT. The other day I did some pleasant hikes. What glorious weather!

They have some nice boardwalks in Cape Cod! The one pictured here is one of the smallest and is part of the idyllic Button Bush trail.

Salt Pond in Eastham was breezy as usual. The swans don't take off when they see me anymore. They have become like the squirrels in Central Park!

I sat by here for about half an hour and simply listened to the wind moving through the trees. This stand of trees down a small hill next to the pond also reminded me of our family home in the south shore as there used to be a similar stand of trees outside my folks' house located on a hill. 'twas a charming afternoon!
