"Touch the earth, love the earth, honour the earth, her plains, valleys, hills, and her seas; rest your spirit in her solitary places. For the gifts of life are the earth’s and they are given to all..they are the songs of birds at daybreak..and dawn seen over ocean from the beach." - Henry Beston 🌎

Shadows in the dunes.

I've seen lots of fox photos from Provincetown, and finally had the chance to take a few myself at Race Point Beach's parking lot today. The fox had no fear, and then I saw why -- people were feeding it! People, don't do this!

“After more than three and a half centuries of occupation by Western man, the real Cape still eludes us, offering and withdrawing its mysteries with the tides, saying follow me, know me, live with me.” — Robert Finch, “Outlands”
