Foggy Day in Chilmark
Another few of those “had to pull off the road immediately to take it” photos. Fog makes everything so pretty. Also, thank goodness for those daffodils; I was starting to think we’d never get any spring flowers around here…

Sengekontacket Pond
My drive to and from work is, quite simply, awesome I take Beach Road from Oak Bluffs to Edgartown, half of which runs on a narrow strip of land that had the Sound on one side and Sengekontacket Pond on the other. I used to bike this route (it’s about eight miles each way) several years ago when I worked at a farm in Edgartown and had to be there at 7:30 a.m. (i.e. before the buses started running). It’s pretty special to me.
And it’s also gorgeous. It doesn’t seem to matter what time of day it is or what the weather’s like. In the past week alone I’ve had to pull over to the side of the road on two separate occasions when driving back to O.B. just because the pond looked so pretty and I wanted to photograph it. I suspect this will continue to be a problem.
