Dear Old Cape May

Yesterday the sun did shine. It was breezy, but not too bad. Rita and I decided to take a ride down to Cape May City.




First, we saw flying fish above the beach.







Next thing we knew - Here come the Coasties!


You know, there is a big Coast Guard base here. When the Coasties are out in force, traffic stops and everyone watches them. And silly people
like me take pictures.

All the Bed and Breakfasts and hotels are getting spruced up for spring.







Don't think I'd be too happy living so close to my neighbors. Sometimes it seems like inches away. But their many colors are very cheerful.






They come in all shapes and sizes.









A lot sit high because of the flooding during bad storms. Others just seem to take their chances.



Some of these are actually private homes, but most are B & B's.



And of course, we rode on up to the Point. Here is what they call "a cottage" at the Point.

Chapter 2 of our Story:
Then we ended at Lily Lake. Found a very interesting sight there. First we saw a lovely swan.



Then we realized, the swan was chasing a goose. I have no idea what their problem was, but they seem to have had one.







That swan stayed right on the goose's tail. Started at the opposite side of the lake from us. Came across quickly, and the goose came up on the grass.


The swan never left the water, but the goose marched along the edge, and the swan followed closely, back and forth many times.














The swan sometimes looked as if it would come up on land, ruffling its feathers, but never did.





Eventually the goose entered the water again, and the chase was on, back to the other shore.






Never did find out why this was going on.

But we enjoyed our afternoon.
