As we drove out of the parking lot at First Encounter Beach in Estham on Cape Cod, I noticed the silhouette of the leafless trees against the sand dunes. I thought it was so pretty.
A few clicks later, this is what I got. What do you think?
I was surprised to see how much the dunes have eroded at Nauset Beach in Orleans on Cape Cod from the storm last weekend. There was not a lot of beach left and it wasn’t even high tide.
It is amazing how the shoreline changes with each season, especially with the pounding storms in the winter.
It was so great to see this elderly couple setting up their beach chairs at Nauset Beach on Cape Cod in the middle of winter just to be able to sit and enjoy the beach. It was a fairly warm day, but with the breezes blowing off of the ocean you still needed your winter jacket.
We saw several Brants on the shores at First Encounter Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod. The Brant is a small goose of the ocean shores that breeds in the high Arctic tundra and winters along both coasts.
The Brant is a medium to small goose with a black head, neck, and chest and a white, partly broken collar.
The Brant is a very beautiful and distinctive bird. I had never seen one before. Have you?
