With temperatures in the mid 60s the other day, Coast Guard Beach on the National Seashore was the perfect place to take a walk. It felt like mid-May. Unbelievable!
The clouds were spectacular! I took a horizontal and thought was pretty special. And then I took a vertical. Wow! I can’t decide which one I like better. What do you think?
When we took a ride to Nauset Beach last week, we were surprised to see how much work was being done to the parking lot and the sand dunes. They have brought in huge amounts of sand to build up the dunes. (There are additional photographs at the end of the blog.)
They have also taken some of the parking lot away to make room for the extra sand as the ocean keeps moving inward.
The first photograph is of the restrooms. You can see there is only a small strip of sand dune between the building and the beach. The ocean looks mighty close. In the next 2 photographs you can see where the parking lot has been dug out and sand piled on. It is an amazing work in progress.
We’ll keep you posted as they work on ever popular Nauset Beach before the summer. Amazing, don’t you think?
It was so cold last week that the Bluebirds, and all of the other birds in our yard, couldn’t get enough to eat. I was filling our Bluebird mealworm feeders 3 times a day.
I loved this photograph with the 4 Bluebirds chowing down while 3 others sat on top patiently waiting their turn.
Adorable, don’t you think?
The views from the Marconi Wireless Station in South Wellfleet are just spectacular!
“The Marconi Wireless Station Site in South Wellfleet, Massachusetts is the site of the first transatlantic wireless communication between the United States and Europe, on January 18, 1903. At this location, now in the Cape Cod National Seashore, inventor Guglielmo Marconi erected a large antenna array on four 210-foot (64 m) wooden towers, and established a transmitting station powered by kerosene engines that produced the 25,000 volts of electricity needed to send signals to a similar station in Poldhu, Cornwall, United Kingdom.”
Not only is the history amazing, but the views are equally amazing!
