Around Town, White Horse Beach, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

On Taylor Avenue. Those of us old enough to remember the television show Saturday Night Live back in 1977 can clearly recognize what this sign means - conehead crossing.

This classic Taylor Avenue view stripped of color gives a timeless beach cottage look.

And down at the beach, I was walking with my gullfriend Wanda when she decided spontaneously to break into her shadow puppet game - here she is doing her "New England Lobsta' shadow imitation."

It may be the end of summer but these windows boxes still look great.

And in nearby Manomet, early morning long shadows graced this pond-side view. Soon, the green will give way to fall color.
