I was driving home from a presentation on the Blizzard of 1978 at the Eastham Historical Society when I saw that the sunset was going to be special. I took a right and went to First Encounter Beach on Cape Cod Bay. The parking lot was packed.
I wondered if there was a concert on the beach or some other activity going on. I got one of the last parking spots. Only when I got out of my car and walked down to the beach did I realize that everyone there came to see the spectacular sunset! People were sitting on the beach, swimming and just hanging out waiting for that sun to dip below the horizon.
I saw plenty of seals playing in the ocean at Coast Guard Beach on Cape Cod the other day. I know they are the primary food for the Great White Sharks, so I kept my eye out for that prominent “fin” in the water.
There were some boogie boarders who thought it was cool to paddle out to try and get closer to the seals. I don’t think they know that a Great White Shark was spotted there several days ago. That would not be cool!
I love cloudy, windy days at the beach! This was such a perfect day to take a walk on Coast Guard Beach on Cape Cod. The temperatures were warm but the breeze made it just spectacular!
These Bladder Campion wildflowers were just starting to bloom at Fort Hill in Eastham On Cape Cod. The flowers are 3/4″ and with lobed petals and protruding pistils which bloom from June to September.
Have you ever seen a Bladder Campion?
