It was a gorgeous day at Coast Guard Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod on the National Seashore. And it was just voted one of the Top 10 beaches in the USA! Wow!
The lifeguards were ready and the beach was crowded. You can see the purple Shark flag is up as there have been many shark sightings in the area lately.
Soon school will be back in session and the Lifeguard stand will be put way for the winter.
I haven’t seen very many butterflies this summer to photograph here on Cape Cod. There have been some very pretty ones but they never alight on a flower to take a picture.
Phil and I were talking the other day about photographing these elusive butterflies. First you have to see a butterfly, then you have to follow it, then it has to land on something and then you have to be ready to take that quick photograph before it flies away again. Chances of all of these things going right are not that easy.
Thus…the elusive butterfly photograph.
This Little Copper butterfly landed on one of the Daisies in my yard and proceded take make a full circle on the flower. It was perfect. I got every angle imaginable. Only problem was, I only had my phone, not my camera. And my phone does not take a macro as well as my camera.
But…what do you think?
We took a walk on Coast Guard Beach in Eastham down to Nauset Spit and saw what was a huge “island of seals” not far off of the beach. There were hundreds of them. We had seen a few seals here and there along the coast but never this many. No wonder the Great White Sharks like to come nearby waters to feast.
There must be a sandbar where they all congregate. It was low tide when we took our walk…I wonder if they are still there at high tide?
It was a spectacular evening to take a walk on Nauset Light Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod. The clouds were so pretty with a little breeze on the water. There were still q lot of people on the beach, some with picnic dinners to enjoy their waning summer days.
Have you ever been to Nauset Light Beach on Cape Cod?
