Cape May C September 13, 2018

 We love visiting Victorian Cape May with all of its fancy bric-a-brac, towers, and ornate buildings.  Most of these were B and B's or hotels.

 We had to leave on the Cape May-Lewes ferry too soon, but we enjoyed our stay very much.

 Lovely light for a passing ferry.

 A little wind!

There were quite a few birds hanging out on the rocks

Cape May and the Shore in September

In all the craziness of the last few months, I discovered I left out our mini vacation to the New Jersey shore in September.  It was sort of a last chance to enjoy the summer weather.

The first two days were a little rainy, but it soon turned pleasant.

      A stop at an antique shop that sold hundreds of adirondack chairs.

     The Cape May-Lewes Ferry was a relaxing break during the trip, but the waves were high enough to make it challenging to walk around.

     A visit to the Cape May Zoo is free and fun

     I've seen black swans in Cape May and Lancaster County.  They are fairly rare.
