I loved this reflection of the channel markers at Rock Harbor in Orleans on Cape Cod. The channel markers, which are trees, are used to guide the boats in and out of Rock Harbor.
The water was like glass so you could really see their reflection. I thought it was so cool how the markers are refracted at such an angle as they hit the water.
We took advantage of many gorgeous winter days to walk along the beaches in Cape Cod, especially Coast Guard Beach which has been rated as one of the top 10 beaches in the world! Henry David Thoreau, in his book Cape Cod, named Coast Guard ‘The Great Beach’. A fitting name as the beach seems to go on forever sharing sands with other famous names such as Marconi and Nauset.
This was a perfect day for a walk on Coast Guard Beach! The temperatures were in the 60s and just glorious!
Christmas Day 2015 on Cape Cod will surely be one to remember. The temperatures on Coast Guard Beach were in the 60s and the beaches were packed with people walking, picnicking, swimming (yes!) and surfing!
I had to resurrect this photograph of an Advent Calendar that I made for my 3 granddaughters a few years ago.
I had such fun creating and planning all of the little ornaments, each one having its own meaning to the girls. And they look forward to putting their ornaments on the tree day by day during the month of December.
I love it because it is timeless… and a treasure for them to look forward to year after year.
Cape Cod is known for its plentiful cranberry bogs. Bogs are an area of soft, marshy ground with acid peat soil, usually near wetlands, where the cranberries grow on long-running vines.
We happend to see this sign for Ocean Spray Cranberries and stopped to take this photograph of the bogs in the background.
Have you ever seen a cranberry bog?
