Assignment: Draw A Boat

You never know what you are going to encounter at the Wellfleet marina. Here, for instance, an art class focuses in on a couple of fishing boats, docked at the pier. The parking lot has been quite full ever since the mega-weddings last weekend. People park for Pearl restaurant, Mac's Seafood, and the Frying Pan Gallery, as well as for their pleasure boats. The marina did not used to be such a draw, but now its renovated and there's a magnificent walkway all the way around, with benches that allow folks to sit from time to time and admire the view. Someone even planted flowers in flower boxes. (I have not been down yet this week to see if the same person or people have been watering the flowers: it's a tough summer for plantings.) There's something else that's new at the marina. For the first time, Wellfleet tourists can recycle bottles in recycling bins. Check out who sponsored the first bin to the left!

drawing a boat is harder than it seems. i drew -- or tried to draw -- a boat as part of a public mural, but it was no good, and a sixth grader had to make it look better later. i was thankful:)

ps: still gonna post regularly. i won't let this crazy new job shut down what's fun for me:)

Yay! Recycling. I was just out in Colorado and was dismayed that none of the hotels offered recycling containers. I asked about it and they looked at me funny.

On your next trip, Alisa, I suggest searching out green hotels. We can influence society with our choices where to spend money.
Look at you being the change you want to see in your own community. The recycling bin looks terrific.

P.S. I thought of you when Lilly and I were greeted on our first real hike in forever but a big notice that they'd just sprayed some herbicide in the open space park earlier that day. :o(
