You can still see the seals as you walk along Coast Guard Beach, part of the National Seashore, in Eastham. They dart up and down in the waves and sometimes follow you along the shore.
This little guy wa swimming in the waves a couple of days ago. I love his little face.
It was a gorgeous, warm day last week for a walk at Fort Hill, which is about a 2 minute drive from our home. You can walk on the loop trail around the meadows and Nauset Marsh or you can take the trail on the boardwalk through Red Maple Swamp and down by hemenway Landing. Each one is spectacular.
I took this photograph as I was finishing my walk up to the top parking lot which overlooks the meadows and Nauset Marsh with the Coast Guard Station in the distance.
I seem to see so many Great Blue Herons way up high in the trees lately. They perch on the branches and then fly down to the salt marsh feed on the fish.
This Great Blue seems to like this tall 30′ tree on the Salt Pond Trail in Eastham. I have seen him there several times lately.
We’ve been taking advantage of the beautiful fall weather we’ve been having here on Cape Cod to walk on the pristine beaches, such as Coast Guard Beach, part of the National Seashore, and rated in the Top 10 Beaches in the USA!
It doesn’t get much prettier than this. What do you think?
