It was a beautiful day to take a walk on Coast Guard Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod, which was rated one of the top ten beaches in the USA this past summer. And there were lots of Seagulls to photograph along the shore.
This particular Seagull took flight just as Phil clicked away. I loved seeing it in action!
What do you think?
The Shark-Warning Flag was still up at Nauset Beach in Orleans on Cape Cod the other day. There must have been a shark spotted somewhere nearby and they are warning people who go in the water.
All of the beaches along the National Seashore use these warning flags which are very helpful to the public.
Friday there were five Great White Sharks spotted at Nauset Beach around noon. There was a warning to surfers to beware! We have seen a lot of seals there lately… which the sharks love to eat.
We were hiking at Fort Hill in Eastham, on the National Seashore, the other day when this huge crab landed about 6″ away from me with a loud thud. I was pretty startled. I looked up and there was a crow who must have been having lunch when dropped it out of the tree. How bizarre. It almost hit me on the head. I have never been hit by a crab before!
The funny thing was… I had just read a story on the news about a hawk dropping a five pound fish on a lady walking down a city street and I was telling a friend that morning. This hawk was eating a fish up in a tree above her and he must have lost his grip when it fell on her head. She got a couple of cuts and scratches. That was one big fish!
How coincidental is that? Funny or what!
It was fun to take a drive down to Nauset Beach in Orleans yesterday and see the huge waves. The wind has been howling and and the rain has been heavy but the beach is always pretty… sun, clouds, rain, storm, wind. It always takes your breath away.
It’s supposed to be windy for the next couple of days, so take a ride down to Nauset Beach and enjoy!
