It was just me and the seagulls… and the beach and the waves. I loved it! Not a person in sight!
Sometimes the solitude of an off-season walk along Nauset Beach, part of the National Seashore, is just what you need to “soothe the soul!”

Laughing Gull At Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod
There is this one rock that emerges out of the water on Nauset Marsh when it is low tide and is usually occupied by a Seagull. This particular Laughing Gull was loving it as he stood there for a long time looking for lunch in the water below.
Laughing gulls are very distinctive with their black “hooded” heads and bright orange beaks. They got their name because when they call, they sound just like they are laughing!
You can see this one is starting to get his “winter plumage” of a black beak. His black hood will turn white during the winter months.
Have you ever seen a Laughing gull?

Cute Little Squirrel On Our Deck On Cape Cod
I keep finding little piles of roses “gone by” on our deck here on Cape Cod. They look almost like a Rosehip but much smaller. And there are always a few little piles strewn about.
So I scouted the other morning and found this little squirrel grabbing a little rose from the bush and jumping on the deck to savor his feast. He did this numerous times and would always feast in a different spot.
Cute little guy, don’t you think?
