A spring thunderstorm and shower was passing over downtown Plymouth and the harbor area as I wandered. Above, is the replica of the original Mayflower vessel which brought the Pilgrims to this area in the fall of 1620. It was a 10-week sail with about 102 passengers and 30 crew packed on this 100' sailing vessel. Imagine that - hardy folk back in those days 400 years ago.
The Plymouth Rock lives under this portico commemorating where the Pilgrims supposedly landed in what later became Plymouth. The storm and rainfall has moved out over the harbor and stretch of Long Beach.
A foreboding sky dumped intermittent rain from the passing clouds amidst splashes of direct sunlight.
The clouds covered the old Post Office building in downtown Plymouth.
At the many Plymouth ponds, spring also heralded the return of Green Herons from their winters farther south.
Azaleas exploding in color mark the turn of the season, too. A nice place to be - Plymouth.
