So Cape Codish!

Scouting for Quahogs 

Digging with a Quahog Rake

"The hard clam, also known as a quahog, round clam, or hard-shell clam, is an edible marine bivalve mollusk which is native to the eastern shores of North America, from Prince Edward Island to the Yucatán Peninsula." Wikipedia

When back in Massachusetts, probably the first thing we do after greeting our children is to visit one of our old time favorite seafood restaurants. 

Stuffed quahogs an absolute must on the menu! Especially love them if linguica, a Portuguese sausage is in the mix! The stuffing prepared and presented back in the shell before serving. Hubby enjoys quahog chowder, made with red potatoes and cream, a broth not to heavy! 

I captured the old gent above quahoging on the shore while dining at a near by restaurant. Deep in thought oblivious to our presence he was feeling with his feet where to dig. Skiff in tow along with wire baskets to hold his bounty. We were taken aback by his tenacity and relentless search, seeking out the abstruse mollusks.  
A lazy summer afternoon for us and a fruitful experience for him. I'll bet those stuffies and "chowda" will taste all the better knowing that he captured them himself! 

Before The Rain!

Before The Rain

"There is music wherever there is harmony, order, or proportion."~Thomas Browne~

Can you hear the music, feel the harmony, sense the order all of which is working in the correct proportion in this photo? There are days when one is glad to have had their camera in hand when a scene like the one above presents itself. 

The clouds hung low, air warm with a hint of brisk, the sea smelled as a seashore should, calmness lent itself into taking in as much fresh air as one possibly could! 
Just an all great day to be alive and fortunate enough to experience it. 
It has been pouring here for three straight days, very intense at times. Rain, rain, go away come again some other day! Rose needs to go out and play! Corny yes, but my camera is getting restless! 
Have a wonderful day!
