After the last storm, we were anxious to take a walk on Coast Guard Beach. Yesterday was a gorgeous day with sunny skies and warmish temps in the 40s. Just perfect…
We were surprised to see how high the dunes had gotten as we walked down toward Nauset Spit. In front of the dunes way in the distance, you can see a person with a dark jacket. He looks pretty small! Those dunes have grown pretty high in the past few weeks.
I wonder what surprises Mother Nature has in store for us after today’s Nor’easter?
There are so many different kinds of winter birds at Herring Pond, you never know what you will see. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
“The Hooded Merganser is a small duck with a slender bill and a flamboyant oversized head. The hood can be raised or lowered, changing the shape of the head and the white patch.”
Have you ever seen a Hooded Merganser? Beautiful bird, don’t you think?
It’s always fun to look for different walks to the beach whether it be a trail or a path or a road. I really liked this boardwalk on Seagull Beach with the lifeguard chair down by the water. It looked so “Cape Cod!”
Did you know that on “January 18, 1903 the first public two-way wireless communication between Europe and America occurred. With elation, communiques from President Theodore Roosevelt and King Edward VII were translated into international Morse code at the South Wellfleet and English stations, respectively, and were broadcast.”
This is so cool! Have you ever seen the plaque on the Marconi Beach overlook?
Between the snowflakes yesterday, the sun did manage to come out for a few brief moments. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
We caught one of those moments while taking a walk at Fort Hill. This was such a pretty view overlooking Nauset Marsh at a very high tide with Coast Guard Station shining white way in the distance.
Which one do you like better… Black and white or color?
