Provincetown Whimsey!





No matter where you stand in Provincetown there is a photo op!
Now this is my idea of a handsome cab ;)


I think this should be "Lolo Love."


One of my very favorite stores filled with Zen-ful goodness. 


The name of this installation in front of the Provincetown Art Association is "I used to be a forest." The paint is red car paint. I love it!
I'm sure these were fallen branches, not cut to make this.


This beauty rests in front of the art assoc.
Peaceful.


~outdoor seating for one gallery~


Zen head at another gallery.


Um, okay, whatever!


A passionate dance in the middle of Commercial Street. They were great!


A perfect night light at Kj and Jb's.


~There's something fishy about the time~



~restaurant whimsey~


and more...


...and more!


An old masthead?


I waited for the peace flag to blow just right for full view.
Everyone should have a pink bike on the balcony!


Oh those New Englanders!



And finally, zinneas for Marianne ♥


And a special cottage by the sea for Robin♥
Thanks for coming along!

OMG! What a FANTASTIC POST!!! So many gorgeous P-town photos....one day I WILL get there with *our gang*....I just know it!

In the meantime, there's YART - and "before" and "after".....will it be too late in the season for Lobster Rolls?

I am already counting down the days....just can't help it. But, one thing, could your Red Sox please get on a roll and help me out by beating those Phillies?
(Sorry all of you non-baseball fans...)

Sending you, Bri, SH and Princess many hugs.......

MUWAH!

I especially like the 'no pahkin' sign.
It hit my chuckle bone in all the right places.
