Photo Of The Day: June 10, 2008

There's nothing like a boat heading out first thing in the morning to do its day's work. There's something about the fact that the boaters are among the first people out in the day that has a hard-to-describe charm to it. Here in the Highlands on the Jersey Shore, I see boats heading out as early as 5:00 a.m. -- in all four seasons. Most of them are clammers bringing in the kinds of clams Highlands is famous for. This shot here was not taken here, but in Chatham, MA on Cape Cod. For more pictures of water, boats and the Cape, visit Paul Scharff Photography.com.
