Cleveland Ledge Lighthouse sits in Buzzards Bay about two miles out from the nearest shore; so minus a boat, drone, or high-powered telephoto lens, it’s pretty tough to get a clear image. I’ve tried several times, and these are as good as I’ve gotten:

Photo 1: Taken 7/4/23 from the west side of Buzzards Bay
Photo 2: Taken 3/19/23 from North Falmouth, on the Cape side of the Bay

Construction of the lighthouse was completed in 1943, which I believe makes it the “newest” lighthouse in Massachusetts — at least I can’t think of any more recent. Despite its relative newness, this lighthouse certainly captures my imagination: for me, the more remote and inaccessible a lighthouse is, the more mysterious it is, and therefore the more appealing. Plus, I’m a sucker for anything Art Moderne.

Trivia Bonus: I’ve often wondered why the shoals the lighthouse is built on were named Cleveland Ledge — this being Massachusetts and not Ohio. Turns out it’s named after the president, not the city. Originally known as Pocasset Ledge, it was a favorite fishing spot for President Grover Cleveland, who spent summers in Bourne while in office (and presumably while out of office: he served two non-consecutive terms). Over time it took on his name.

Ironically, the annual Buzzards Bay Swim, a major fundraiser for the clean water environmental action group Buzzards Bay Coalition, was cancelled today because overnight rain caused the storm water system in the host city of New Bedford, Massachusetts, to dump millions of gallons of raw sewage into the bay.

Only in New Bedford. I'll never forget the day I saw a group of witches paddleboarding in Buzzard's Bay.

My good boy Broxo at the beach this morning. West Island, part of the town of Fairhaven, MA, is in Buzzard's Bay near Cape Cod. Spring is arriving but it will be a while before last year's brown beach grass is replaced with this season's new growth. Except for home, this is Broxo's favorite place to be.

It was about 29°F this morning at the beach but the #dogs were having a grand old time. Broxo wore his red coat for the first time this season. (We saw two humans shed their outerwear and head into the water!)

Broxo, the #mini-Aussie celebrated Thanksgiving morning with dog friends on the beach. The lab is Murphy with his owner Charlie. There ended up being five dogs having a great time.
