The tides on Cape Cod have been exceptionally high lately. They were really high the other day at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary.
If you hike out on the Goose Pond Trail, there are markers that were placed there a few years ago to show people what climate change might look like if the ocean waters rise. You pass these on the way out to the beach.
We were so surprised to see how high the water was the other day when we were hiking there. It was gushing through the culvert at Goose Pond, filling up the pond, and you could see it rising along the trail on the way out to the beach. It was about an hour until high tide and the water was already up to the 2050 marker. We’ve never seen it that high; have you?
“Nauset Light, officially Nauset Beach Light, is a restored lighthouse on the Cape Cod National Seashore near Eastham, Massachusetts, erected in 1923 using the 1877 tower that was moved here from the Chatham Light. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.”
I love this photograph with such a dramatic sky. What do you think?
This lone seagull was braving the winds and waves at Coast Guard Beach, part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. I really liked the composition of this photograph with the wind and the waves and the little piece of driftwood sticking out of the sand. What do you think?
I was looking for the perfect Halloween photograph for my blog when I drove by The Farm and there it was!
The Farm is a locally owned and operated nursery and garden located just minutes from the center of Orleans. It grows over 25,000 perennials on their 10-acre farm.
