Opening of the Bay

Each year on Memorial Day weekend, the Duxbury Bay Maritime School hosts the "Opening of the Bay". It's a two day event that includes a party, various raffles, games, and auctions, and a tall ship that comes into the harbor and gives tours. This year the ship was "Friendship" from Salem, MA. I was helping guide the boat in through the harbor on Friday, and back out of the harbor today. It was quite a process and a lot of people were there to watch and help out. Duxbury Bay is very shallow all over, so the boat had to stay in the middle of the channel otherwise it could run aground. Here are some pictures of the ship exiting the harbor, and the people helping out.

Bluefish River

This is the Bluefish River, another location that is quite close to home. Today was a weird day as far as the weather was concerned. There were patches of heavy rain, light rain, bright sunshine, and the clouds were very interesting looking throughout the day. Right after I took the last photo, the sky opened up so I'm glad I was able to get a few photos in before the hard rain.

I especially like the third photo, which looks a lot better in a larger size.

Duxbury

I'm finally back at home. I've been pretty busy the past few weeks and haven't gotten a chance to go out and shoot. I've been working my summer job and also trying to get a second job assisting a local photographer. Well anyway, I went out this morning and took a few photos. The first two are taken at a cove a few minutes from my house. It's a really nice area. The rest of them are from the beach and the bridge that goes to the outer beach. Enjoy.
