Rusty Treasure On Nauset Beach In Orleans On Cape Cod

It’s so much fun to walk along the beaches of Cape Cod and look for little treasures along the shore. Yesterday I saw this piece of an old board with something very rusty on top of it.

I have no idea what it is, but my imagination kicked right in! Is it from an old ship that sunk out here in the ocean? What on earth could it be?

Did you ever find an old treasure that really got your imagination going?

Pretty Driftwood On Nauset Beach In Orleans On Cape Cod

I don’t see many pieces of driftwood on the beaches in Cape Cod, so it was a treat to see this piece of driftwood on Nauset Beach. It looked like it had washed in and was somewhat buried in the sand.

I wonder how many people photographed this piece of driftwood?

 

Nauset Beach On Cape Cod Was A Very Popular Destination This Past Weekend

The weather was gorgeous last weekend and brought a lot of people out to the Nauset Beach on Cape Cod  to enjoy the sunshine and pleasant weather. It’s starting to feel like spring.

I loved this photograph of Nauset Beach with people everywhere. They were walking, collecting, sitting, relaxing, riding, surfing and just enjoying the ambiance of Nauset Beach, one of the premier beaches on the National Seashore on Cape Cod.

Diving Harlequin Ducks Off Of Nauset Beach On Cape Cod

I saw my first Harlequin Duck off of Nauset Beach on Cape Cod this week. I had never seen one before!

I was taking a walk along the beach when I saw these three diving ducks a little bit offshore. I wasn’t sure what kind of ducks they were so I took a few photographs. They looked pretty dark with two white spots on their heads.

As I looked them up in my Sibley Guide to Birds, I learned that an adult breeding Harlequin Duck is very colorful, where an adult non breeding Harlequin Duck looks just like this from November to May.

Have you ever seen a Harlequin Duck?
