Shining Sea Bikeway

Posted by Ivy

On Friday, after my dentist and ophthalmologist appointments in Falmouth, my ophthalmologist recommended walking to Woods Hole on the Shining Sea Bikeway (so named because the author of “America the Beautiful” was born in Falmouth) instead of backtracking on the town roads to the landing where I’d come in. It was four-and-a-half miles to Woods Hole, which I kind of barreled through because I was trying to make the 5:00 ferry back to MV (spoiler: I made it), but…what a walk. The Cape shore is simply beautiful.

(okay, so this was taken on the ferry, not the bikeway…but look at the rainbow!)

 

Vineyard Vacay, part three: Island Time

Posted by Ivy

Some of my favorite- and least favorite (see image four) -things about Martha’s Vineyard. Plus, guest picture taken by my mom!  and de-colorized by yours truly…because no island trip is complete without jumping off of Second Bridge (which, incidentally, is the bridge in Jaws that the shark swims under to get into the giant pond. Cue scary music).

Vineyard Vacay, part one: WMVY Concert

Posted by Ivy

Haven’t posted in a while…oopsie. I was distracted by the end of Staff Photo (I still have to put up the photos from my Crazy Photo Saturday, during which I had five assignments), moving to a new apartment, and heading home to New England for a week and a half.

I’m back in classes now, starting my last fall semester ever–which is weird–and am going to try very hard to post everything else from this summer before Friday.

To start, here are a few photos from a concert I went to last Thursday- it was a benefit for a radio station on Martha’s Vineyard featuring kahoots and Willy Mason, both homegrown Vineyard acts, although Willy Mason is a little more well-known outside of the island. I couldn’t use my flash, so this turned out to be an epic exercise in handholding.

Disclaimer: I was being very lazy that night and didn’t feel like giving up my nice prime seating to manuever through a crowd to get different POVs…next time I’ll work the angles a bit more.
