Christmas on Cape Cod

Thank you all for your wonderful comments and faves on my snowman bokeh experiment. You are the best!

This is a filler taken the same night. I got caught trespassing by the homeowner taking out the trash, so it was pretty much shoot and run.

[Yousef I]

hahaha awesome! I'm too familiar with the shoot and run
your snowman was awesome!

[jerry plume]

Lol! Hilarious! Great capture Laurie! I'm glad you made it out safely! :)

[stephanie dp]

I just LOVE this! I love how different people celebrate in different ways! great capture.

[GINA]

too funny what we won't do to get a shot!!!! glad you survived it~ its a greatone Laurie!!

[Melissa Pike]

Is this the house with all the lobster buoys out on the garage? I love how perfectly Cape Coddy this is!

[Brian Buccigrossi]

Great shot :)

[Peter de Graaff]

Will the tree have a viking (cape cod) funeral? Great photo

[Liz (fotomama)]

so true...this is when i miss it!!!

[Nikkers]

hehehe see what taking out the trash can do to you...

cool shot :)

[Terry]

Why did you run, you have your 365 Badge didn't you , just flash it and take the shot. LOL Like this better at night

[Karen Sylvia]

Well if they put something like this in their yard, they should expect a photographer to trespass. lol Nice shot Laurie!

[Mike Warren]

You could put that is the Christmas parade. Great capture.

[Peter Auliciems]

classic

[Diana Moss]

I love this shot of the boat, decked out with Christmas decorations.

[Joyce Wells]

It definitely has that Cape Cod Christmas look to it! Loved your story - it's amazing what we do to get a good photo!

[Angie Vega ☮♥ シ]

if someone puts this in their yard then they need to get use to the snapping...cool capture

[Shirley Banford]

I love this. Great shot. The snowman was awesome too.

[Beverly Carmichael]

I love that boat too! Nice remberance of the Cape, this same is decorated every year.

[Trina P Holub]

I agree with @angievega . Maybe they would've been fine with it but I probably wouldn't have waited to find out either. I love how the brightly lit tree is in such a brightly colored boat. :-) Great find.

[Trina P Holub]

BTW, your bokeh pic is much better than mine!

[paula goff]

how cool is this!! too funny that you got caught....hehe!! well worth it though:)

[Paula Cook-Farkas]

Can you say...awkward! They probably wouldn't have minded...and hey, now more people than ever are appreciating their decorative hard work.

[Jennifer C]

oops! well done, lovely night image!

[Rick Schies]

I would hope he would have been forgiving.

[Paula]

Was the owner mad? Or did you stick around to find out, lol. How very Cape Cod this shot is:)

[Laurie Higgins]

@melissapike Melissa, it is exactly that house on Rt. 6A in Brewster!

[Laurie Higgins]

@sarasdadandmom @karens68 @angievega @5unflow3r @aj1268 @digitalrn @pwallis Sorry for the group reply, but this homeowner actually has a bucket next to his mailbox, with a sign that says "Turn-arounds - 25 cents." I figured if he is annoyed enough to try to charge people a quarter to turn around in his driveway, he might not be happy about the trespassing thing. But then again, maybe he just has a quirky sense of humor and wouldn't mind at all. I did not stick around to find out, and Terry, I never remember to have that badge on me when I need it most. You are the first person I'm going to contact when I get arrested for a 365 photo. That one phone call thing is real, right?

[lorihiro]

If I saw this I would have done the same thing to get the shot for my 365 project! I love the tree in the boat! Reminds me of something I would see in Hawaii! :-)

[Cindy Muir]

LOL! I want a 365 badge! Cool shot and story! I'm surprised at my growning disregard for things like fences and no trespassing signs since starting this project! :)

[FaerieMoon]

Haha--that made me laugh just imagining that! This is great
