FAMILY-Providence Rhode Island April 2015-unfocused

Purpose of the trip was to finally meet a cousin named Joan. Also to find the house where my mother was born and scattered a small amount of ashes.

Left here at 9am and took the bus to Providence and got back here at 8:22pm. A long day for me but full of surprises and a lot of fun and laughs.

My Nikon camera I used in the bus and some shots from Paula's car to test its capabilities. It no longer has any controls- just turn it on and shoot. I think the colors and contrasts are still better with the Nikon than the Canon (but the Canon is fine for gravestones) but these are taken through the bus windows . Real high quality >sarcasm<. Hyannis terminal always in a state of repair.

I get on the bus and discover a cough behind me so decision- move back or to the side- no choice but across the aisle. I plunk myself down. The bus fills up and I look to the seat to my left and it has toe nail clippings on it. LOL. Good start.

Some interesting view from the bus. Also I wonder if all bus drivers, those who have hair, part their hair on the left side of their head? Just an idle observation.

I thought of Chernobyl when I saw those stacks!

I see forsythia I totally forgot I captured.

later...

another road trip calls.

Two foreign speaking chicks were on the bus, long legged blonds, hair up looking very "perfect"

Spooky cloud/sun & Chernobyl again.oh and the traffic. A bus weaving in and out!

First bus no seat belts. Bus back to Hyannis had them but they were so stiff (probably from lack of use) I gave up after 5 miles of pent up torture.

Mom & Pop tattoos

CEMETERIES-Wellfleet in search of...

Well it was a gorgeous day and I figured perfect weather for finding 2 cemeteries that have eluded me for over 5 years. First was French Catholic cemetery- the other was Chequessett Cemetery a spur of the moment thing on my way up to Wellfleet. Never found the French Catholic one in spite of my hand written instructions of getting there. Seems that with the telemarketer calls last night I was interrupted and they were incomplete. Oh well some other time. So as I was programming the Tom Tom for Chequessett Cemetery I was surprised at the pronunciation by the Tom Tom. I will have to look it up later.

So hey beautiful water views along the way that lose a lot in a photo. Trust me they were beautiful views.The buildings and homes there are unique and I always see something different each visit.
