Rock Harbor in Orleans on Cape Cod is pretty empty this time of year. There are only a couple of boats to see and the docks look pretty empty.
But a pretty photograph from the Eastham side of Rock Harbor looking back…
We have a couple of Carolina Wrens who have been hanging around our backyard here on Cape Cod. They have such a beautiful call and, once you know it, easy to identify.
This little guy was getting a drink at our birdbath. I clicked away and then he looked up at me.
Cute little guy, huh? Love that white stripe above his eye!
I was so surprised to see all the snow and ice on the beaches on Cape Cod Bay this week. It certainly is a different scene than a week ago when I was biking in my shorts!
This is Boat Meadow Beach in Eastham yesterday afternoon. It was pretty frigid out there! There sure was a lot of snow on the beach!
Waiting patiently for spring… Hopefully it is right around the corner!
I took a ride to Nauset Beach, part of the National Seashore, in Orleans on Cape Cod yesterday was was so surprised to see how small the beach had become after the blizzard a couple of weeks ago. You can see the high water mark and it is pretty high. There’s only a few feet of beach for people to sit on at high tide.
The dunes at Nauset Beach were pretty eroded too and the walk down to the beach by Liam’s Restaurant was surprisingly steep. It almost seems like all of the sand that eroded from Nauset Beach ended up on Coast Guard Beach a few miles away.
I took these 2 photographs looking in opposite directions on the beach. The high water mark on the first photograph is pretty high!
