Welcome to Week 25: Tour of Cape Cod – Y Week!

Featuring: Yachts, Yankee, Ylang Ylang, Yonder, Yellow, Yarmouth, Yoga, Yarrow

YACHTS
Various types of boats including a small yacht or two at Sesuit Harbor on a sunny day in mid May.

YANKEE
The Yankee Doodle Shop in West Harwich, one of many local gift stores. This one's pretty unique and fun to browse because of its quaint, affordable Americana goods, furniture, and collectibles.

YLANG YLANG
A favorite essential oil fragrance .. beachy and floral … a mixture of Ylang Ylang, Geranium, Cedarwood and Vetiver. This is my most recent attempt at a still life. Once I noticed that the pearl is actually a bead with a hole drilled through it that needed to be rotated out of view, I was pretty happy with the result!

YONDER
From my spot at Corporation Beach I could see the SS Lobster Roll way over yonder. It's a lunch/dinner cruise with views, drinks, music, and of course their signature lobster rolls.

YELLOW
Pretty yellow spring flowers. Of all the locations I've called home during my lifetime, Cape Cod is tops for flowers. They're everywhere you look! I found these at the edge of the local grocery store's parking lot.

YARMOUTH
A beautiful Cape Cod town stretching north to south from its cool, calm beaches on Cape Cod Bay to its comparatively warm surf on Nantucket Sound. This is a June sunrise at Yarmouth's Wilbur Park.

YOGA
Meet “Yoga Frog”! Was it his adorable smile or his perfect Sukhasana that caught my eye in a department store 10 years ago? Probably both! He has been right at home on my etagere ever since.

YARROW
I took this photo in mid May at Ellis Landing in Brewster. I'm not very good at identifying plants but I'm pretty sure this is Yarrow.

Thanks for joining me for “Y week” on Cape Cod!

Great series of Y pictures, I especially like the one of "Yoga Grog"

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

Oh Pearls you have some awesome photos today for the letter "Y". You always seem to catch your photos at the right angle. Of course the yoga frog is my favorite as I am a big fan of frogs.

Lovely, as usual, Pearls. I especially liked the pier, although I thought it was a sunset until I read that it was a sunrise. Either way, it's so peaceful looking.
It's been a strange week here, and I drew a blank for the Y. I'll try to get into the swing of it with a Z, but I'm not holding my breath.

Very imaginative "Y" collection, Pearls, brilliant. I would love to browse around that lovely yankee doodle shop. I really love the cute yoga frog.

Y WHERE I LIVE WOULD BE YACHTS. WE HAVE THE BIGGEST HARBOR FOR TONNAGE IN EUROPE ALTHOUGH NOT FOR THE NUMBER OF BOATS. WHERE I WAS IN CAMARGUE, PORT CARMARGUE HAS MOORINGS FOR 5 OOO BOATS, A SOMEWHAT OVERWHELMING NUMBER.

Thank you! Yoga Frog is a constant reminder that I really should re-enroll in yoga classes!

Thanks Shartaun! I enjoy working with angles in photography. I often take the same photo from many different angles and then choose my favorite to add to my computer file when I get home. It's always amazing to me how much difference it can make if I move just a few feet to the right or left when taking the photo!

Yep, sunrise! I typically wait until I see just a tiny bit of sunlight coming up in the morning then I head out to take photos. After the photo shoot it's a bright beautiful morning and I can drive home easily without worrying about driving in the dark. There is a method to my madness. lol

Thanks Maudie! I agree about the Yankee Doodle Shop. I like it because it's different from a lot of the local shops that vie for the attention of tourists. No pool toys, suntan lotion, salt water taffy, etc. Just interesting wooden and metal Americana goods. And the staff is friendly too!

Thanks! Foto Friday has become my creative outlet to temporarily keep my mind occupied until I can return to work.

Thanks Lilium! When I saw Yoga Frog on the store shelf many years ago I felt a special connection because at the time I was taking yoga classes. He just had to come home with me! Now that I've been away from yoga for a while he is a reminder to restart those classes!

I just love harbors whether they are filled with freighters or cabin cruisers .. it's all good!
