The Wind Finally Died Down For A Beautiful Walk At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.

Yesterday was first day in a long time where the wind wasn’t howling. We decided to take advantage of the calmer weather and take a nice morning walk at Fort Hill. It was just gorgeous with those beautiful clouds in the sky! (Click on blog link for other photo. )

Then I decided to edit the photo with a more dramatic tone. What do you think? Which one do you like better?

It’s Been Really Windy Here On Cape Cod!

It sure has been a very windy winter here on the Cape with the past few days seeing gusts around 45 mph. I wanted to get a video, but the sand was blowing right in my face as soon as I opened the car door. I settled on  a photo of the churning waters at Rock Harbor while still sitting in my car!

 

Beautiful Eastern Meadowlark At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.

It’s been so cold and so windy here on the Cape that sometimes it’s nice just to take a drive. We stopped at Fort Hill yesterday morning, not expecting to see anything. It was so windy, the car was shaking!

All of a sudden, I saw some movement in the grass. At first I thought it was a Flicker with its black patch on its breast, but  then it lifted its head high and I could see bright yellow on its chest. Could it be an Eastern Meadowlark? What a treat to see this colorful bird on this frigid cold winter morning!
