Gorgeous Sunset At Rock Harbor In Orleans On Cape Cod

When my son was here visiting last week we tried to catch sunset at a different beach each night. It was such fun but, boy was it cold!

This sunset was at Rock Harbor. I really like the tidal pools in the foreground and the yellow ring around the sun…

Pretty, don’t you think?

Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy New Year filled with love, peace, laughter, and a little bit of time outside!  🙂

Snowy Skaket Beach In Orleans On Cape Cod

What a difference a week makes in the weather on Cape Cod! Last Friday we were hiking the flats and having a glorious time! It was chilly, in the low 30s and breezy but very hikeable. You can see what it was like last week in the  second photograph.

Yesterday I took a drive to Skaket Beach and took the same photograph that I took a week ago, only this one is filled with ice and snow and temps were in the low teens. Brrrr. Both photos  were taken at low tide.

Pretty amazing, huh?

Rock Harbor Channel Markers On Cape Cod At Low Tide

We hiked out on the flats to the Rock Harbor Channel, where the boats go in and out,  on the Eastham side the other day. It was so much fun. I had never walked out that far or been so close to the channel markers before. You can see why boats can only use the channel close to high tide.

Pretty cool, don’t you think?

Cape Cod Bay Sunset From The Dunes In Eastham

There are many beaches on Bay Cod Bay, as well as the Atlantic Ocean, in Eastham on Cape Cod. As you go from Orleans, to Eastham  out to Wellfleet, the dunes get steeper and steeper.

I took this photograph at low tide on the beach in Eastham but closer to Wellfleet. It was amazing how tall the sand dunes were, compared to the other beaches in Eastham.

So pretty with the sun starting to go down, don’t you think?
