Morris Island in Chatham is an awesome hike that leads you all along the beaches facing South Beach with Monomoy Island in the far distance. Phil and I headed out early, with our binoculars, hoping to do some birding.
As we meandered along I saw this thing flapping in the breeze. I had no clue what it was… maybe a discarded paper bag?
As we got closer we could see that it was a seal! It was flubbing along through the beach grass at a very slow rate heading toward the water. All if a sudden it turned and went back up to the tall grasses. I guess it would wait until high tide to get out to the ocean again.
He gave me a nice smile as we walked by. Cute little guy, huh? Actually, he was quite large!
If you park at Chatham Light on Cape Cod and walk down the steps to the beach and then along the beach, there is a little shack in the high grass. It looks like it has been there for years.
We wondered how it got there? And what it is for? Does someone own it?
Does anyone know anything about this little shack? Someone obviously takes care of it! It would be fun to know a little about it…
There were still a lot of boats in Chatham Harbor a few weeks ago. The sky and the clouds were spectacular for a photo op.
There are many turn-offs from the main road where you can get some pretty good photographs. I took this one off of Route 28 on the way into Chatham. It was such a beautiful day.
Pretty clouds, don’t you think?
