Was I surprised to see a black dot in the water on Nauset Beach in Orleans on Cape Cod when I was taking a walk the other day on a very cold and blustery day. I thought it was a seal, but it didn’t dive underwater.

It wasn’t until I took a photograph and zoomed in that I realized it was a surfer. Wow! He certainly was a brave soul to venture out into the waves on such a day! I shivered just thinking abut it!
