There was a very large marker buoy that washed up on Boat Meadow Beach this week. At first I thought it was just a buoy but then I saw the light on top of it.
It was quite large.. about 3-4′ high. I wonder where it was from?

The Calm Before The Winter Storm On Cape Cod
We are expecting a “winter storm” today so I took a walk to the beach yesterday afternoon to see if there were any good photographs. I was pleasantly surprised.
I took this photograph of the storm brewing on Cape Cod Bay but I used 2 different settings on my app. The first one is a little more dramatic… but I think I like it.
Which one do you like better?
Beautiful Walk To Boat Meadow Beach In Eastham On Cape Cod
I love the walk from my home here on Cape Cod to Boat Meadow Beach. You go from the woods then across the Salt Marsh and then down the road to the beach. It doesn’t get much prettier.
I was walking there a couple of days ago when the sun was shining and the clouds were magnificent. I just stood and stared at this picture. So pretty, don’t you think?
I clicked away…
Common Eiders At Boat Meadow River On Cape Cod
There is a pair of Common Eiders on Boat Meadow Creek in Eastham on Cape Cod. I’ve seen them recently from the bridge on Bridge Road.
The Common Eider is a large duck, from 23-27″ and usually lives along the coastline in all seasons. It feeds primarily underwater on mollusks by up-ending or swimming with only its head submerged.
It was pretty cool to see these Common Eiders as I’ve only seen them a couple of times before. Look at the difference in coloring from the male to the female. Have you ever seen one?
Great Blue Heron At Boat Meadow Salt Marsh On Cape Cod
I was taking a walk, camera in hand, looking for a good photo op near the Salt Marsh at Boat Meadow. When, all of a sudden, a Great Blue Heron flew in right by the side of the river. I’ve seen him there a couple of times in the past few days. I wonder if this is where he’ll spend his winter.
What a treat that would be!
