Belated post…

Day 7.  Mostly just the trip back home.  Took a lot of photos at the docks for the ferry, on the ferry leaving Nantucket, and approaching the mainland.  Enjoy.

Nantucket Vacation: Days 5 & 6

Belated post…

As I was going over the photos from these days, we had a big power outage.  Supposedly over 200 homes had no electricity.  Power went out around 10:45pm and came back on sometime after 1:ooam!  Sadly, my laptop was not fully charged…

Anyway, below are some photos taken in the Nantucket Whaling Museum, the observatory floor of the museum, the “children’s beach” where there is a small lighthouse, and some plants around the house.  Also, there was this really weird full moon one night.  It was bright orange!

Check out the photos below:

This plant is everywhere on the island.
Fruit from the same plant. I believe people make tea with it.
Flowers.

More flowers.
Even more flowers.
…and some more flowers.

The moon one night. It was pumpkin orange earlier. Exposure time: 13 seconds.
