Meadows of bluebells and daffodils dancing in the spring breeze.  No traffic on the Bourne Bridge making the trip from Boston about an hour tops.  Empty beaches with first dibs on fresh seaglass washed in from winter storms.  The benefits of a trip to Cape Cod in the springtime are myriad, and this photo essay share with you a few of the joys of a visit to Woods Hole at this time of the year.

In the springtime, the distinctive sound of rolling bag on asphalt punctuates the air in Woods Hole as students at MBL and WHOI flock back to the area to participate in cutting edge scientific research in some of the best labs in America. (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, University of Chicago's Marine Biological Laboratory and other oceanography and science institutes make Woods Hole the most renowned place for ocean study in the whole US.)
