Did you know that there can be a tidal difference of between 8-12 feet from low tide to high tide on Cape Cod Bay?
In the first photo you can see the trucks (circled) out on the flats at low tide near First Encounter Beach while the fishermen are harvesting their oyster beds. The 2nd photo shows where the trucks were but now it is high tide. It always blows my mind to think that trucks can drive so far out there on the flats, while only a few hours later they would be totally under water!
We had stopped so I could take a few photos of Provincetown’s iconic Lobster Pot tree, when I heard so much noise coming from the tree. There were hundreds of birds flying in and out of the traps and they were chirping away. This little Finch stopped to bask in the sun for a minute. Isn’t he adorable?
Even the little birds celebrate the holidays.
It’s the Christmas season and certainly time to be in the holiday spirit. I love this rowboat with the decorated Christmas tree that is “launched” every year about this time! It’s especially pretty when the tides are really high, so it’s floating in the water. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I couldn’t decide which photo I like better. What do you think? Such a pretty reflection!
