i was so excited to find these beautiful green rocks on the beaches in provincetown. but i could only see and collect them when the tide was way WAY out (like 100 feet). i had big plans for these green beauties.

but to my dismay, once i washed them and really scrubbed them down, i realized that this bright luminous shade of green was due to algae, from being under water all of the time. what a HUGE difference this made. but once i got over my initial shock, i fell in love with them all over again.

i was extremely drawn to this building i saw on a pier in  provincetown. such beautiful weathered faces on the sea. i later found on the internet the story behind it, which made me love it even more . . . “they also faced the sea.”

we are in provincetown for a few days before we head to vermont. there are such similarities between provincetown and provence that i now understand why one of my friends, who lives in cannes, comes here for a month every summer. there are beautiful garden paths that connect houses, incredible seafood, beaches galore, AMAZING light, and i could collect sea rock all day (though in the south of france it’s sea glass) and the colours are fantastic.
