Hyannis

Hyannis is a village on the Cape Cod peninsula in Massachusetts. It’s known for beaches like wide Kalmus Park Beach and the private Kennedy Compound at nearby Hyannis Port. The John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum chronicles the assassinated U.S. president’s family vacations through videos and photographs. At the harbor, the Cape Cod Maritime Museum has boat-building exhibits. Ferries connect Hyannis to Nantucket Island.

What? I always wondered what it was called. Type of wetland grass. Looks nice but also very invasive plant.

on the ferry to Martha's Vineyard

We hiked down near the water's edge and found a patch of glasswort. I got covered in sand photographing it and, to my dismay, the sand on my pants got on the camera and lens on the walk back. The focus ring was even a bit crunchy. Oops.

I don't think the shells and vertebral column are in any way traditional, but it's a nice gesture.

I'm drawn to this spot like a magnet every time I get to Cape Cod. This shot doesn't show it, but the Atlantic ocean is just to the right of the shelter. At the viewing deck, though, you can see both sides of the Cape and early on a summer morning before anyone else is there, it just doesn't get any better...
