The Ryan family spent last week on Cape Cod. As usual your editor was accompanied by his camera. Cape Cod is a truly beautiful place – the ocean and beaches, the whales, seals and other wildlife, the terrain, the beautiful homes, flowers and plants. Oh yes, I shouldn’t forget the food! Spending a few days on and near the seashore made me much more aware of tragedy being played out on the Gulf Coast.  The Cape Cod beaches and marshes are an integral part of daily life in that region. I can’t imagine what it would be like to see them covered in oil.  Here are a few more of my photos.

By the way, I’d be happy to publish vacation photos from other regions or countries. Just send me an email at editor@perugazette.com and we will arrange to have them uploaded.
