A Few Favorite Pictures from "Arsenic and Old Lace," Priscilla Beach Theatre, Priscilla Beach, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

Since the performing arts seasons are all delayed this year due to the pandemic, I thought it would be fun to go through my thousands of images and pick just a few from each production and re-publish them. It was difficult to narrow down the choice to just a few - I picked ones that spoke to me personally - they may or may not be representative of the show or the lead roles - they are just images that warm my heart and bring back fond memories of the production - I am first and foremost, a fan of these performances, my role as a photographer is a distant second.

I hope you enjoy them, too.

Spring, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

The pandemic may be wreaking havoc with the planet but, spring in the northern hemisphere continues regardless......



......soon, this humble bud will explode into a pink/purple rhododendron.....



.....and the beach hillside will be awash in new green foliage.

Priscilla Beach Theatre (PBT), Priscilla Beach, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

Priscilla Beach Theatre (PBT) Co-owner and Producer Bob Malone announces the need to postpone this year's May season opener ("Sisters of Swing,") to May of 2021.  

Hopefully, this year's performance season can open on June 5th with eight performances of "She Loves Me." Frankly though, no one knows at this point. Stay tuned to https://www.pbtheatre.org/ for announcements regarding the future performance schedule. As it stands now:...........

Early Spring, Cape Cod Bay, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

Twenty miles or so directly ahead across Cape Cod Bay is the upraised arm of Cape Cod. When it is exceptionally clear, one can see the slight rise of the landmass and even some of the taller buildings in Provincetown. On the beach below this bench, the endless pounding of the surf continues. Sometimes I sits and, sometimes I thinks and, sometimes - I do neither.



High tide on the curve of Manomet and points south.



What a difference a day makes......cold, cloudy, windy, snow flurries and rain showers.......



Nope, summer isn't here just yet.

The Return of the Turkeys, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

I heard them before I saw them. The sound didn't register at first. They have been gone during much  of winter. I thought maybe the sound was on the radio. And then, there they were, outside the window on this cold, windy morning in the first week of spring, standing tall and making that gobbling sound, and, alternately pecking in the unfrozen ground for bugs. Maybe they will roost in the trees here tonight, and I will look up and see their large dark silhouette. I hope so. They don't know about the coronavirus or anything like that. They simply live in the moment until they don't. There is something to be said for that. It is spring, yes, and all the world is anew.

The End of Winter, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

It's the last day of a winter that never really became a serious winter. But there are other differences.......



...... like the coronavirus sheriff out enforcing social distancing.



Of course, mostly this time of year there aren't many people at the beach anyway.



Though low tide does bring out solitary walkers.



The sand is shiny-wet from the outgoing tide.



And just a hint of spring green can already be seen. Virus or no virus, the cycles of nature continue on.

Scallop Shells, An Art Project, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

Dozens of these giant artistic scallop shells can be found around the downtown and waterfront areas of Plymouth.



It may still technically be winter but, folks are out and about walking around enjoying the waterfront and the unseasonably pleasant weather.
