A Long Weekend in Cotuit

Each Day Prettier than the Day Before - by Ed M.

August 2014 - I was able to spend a few relaxing days visiting my parents, my son who came from Burlington, Vermont, and my nephews who came from Vermont and from Boston, respectively. It was a quiet time with perfect Cape Cod weather for visiting my family. My son Joe and I did a little fishing for blues and a little fresh water fishing at Eagle Pond. I don't regularly take photos on vacation or anywhere else, but I got snapped one photo of Joe fishing at Eagle Pond that I really liked, so I thought I would put the shots I did take on this site when I got the email from APCC. All my photos are taken with an iPhone, which is the only camera I own.
Late afternoon at Eagle Pond, Joe is casting for small bass, and not caring whether he catches one.

This is the kind of fish Joe likes to catch, and he has caught more than his share.
