In honor of Phil’s birthday today, I thought I’d post one of his photographs. He took this one of the Seagull on the beach in front of the waves at Coast Guard Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod.
I really like to waves in the background. What do you think?
Happy Birthday, Phil! May you have a wonderful day and enjoy all of the birds here on Cape Cod!
The hike from Doane Rock to Coast Guard Beach on Cape Cape is one of my favorites! You walk through the woods, along the bike trail for a bit, over a bridge on Nauset Marsh where you can see the Coast Guard Station over the trees, through the woods again and then up to a spectacular overlook of Nauset Marsh and Coast Guard Beach.
It was a perfect day with temperatures in the high 50s and a slight breeze with the sun shining brightly. It doesn’t get much prettier!
You can see the orange and yellow Bittersweet berries on so many of the trails at Fort Hill on Cape Cod. It’s a vine that grows on the bushes and has such a pretty berry in the fall. It reminds me of my Mom who used to pick it each fall and make wreaths for our doors. They were so pretty.
I loved how you can see Nauset marsh and the Coast Guard Station in the background.
Wednesday was a glorious day for a bike ride… anywhere on Cape Cod. It was sunny, breezy and beautiful with temperatures in the mid-sixties. Just perfect for a bike ride.
I got on the Cape Cod Bike Trail and headed out to Coast Guard Beach. I think it’s one of the prettiest rides around here. It was so nice that I continued out to Nauset Light Beach and Nauset Light. You couldn’t ask for a better day and I wondered when the next time I could do this would be with the colder weather coming.
So, this is my “selfie” at Coast Guard Beach with Nauset Marsh and the ocean in the background.
When we went to the Open House at the Coast Guard Station at Coast Guard Beach on Cape Cod last weekend, there was a poster that showed the shipwrecks off of Cape Cod, which we were told was in the thousands. Wow!
This poster is unbelievable, don’t you think? With all of the sand bars and constantly shifting sands, it was very hard to sail around Cape Cod in the early days.
