This was such a pretty day at First Encounter Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod Bay. This is the beach where a hunting expedition from the sailing vessel the Mayflower, “first encountered” Native Americans in 1620.
Pretty cool, don’t you think?

The Calm Before The Winter Storm On Cape Cod
We are expecting a “winter storm” today so I took a walk to the beach yesterday afternoon to see if there were any good photographs. I was pleasantly surprised.
I took this photograph of the storm brewing on Cape Cod Bay but I used 2 different settings on my app. The first one is a little more dramatic… but I think I like it.
Which one do you like better?
Beautiful Walk To Boat Meadow Beach In Eastham On Cape Cod
I love the walk from my home here on Cape Cod to Boat Meadow Beach. You go from the woods then across the Salt Marsh and then down the road to the beach. It doesn’t get much prettier.
I was walking there a couple of days ago when the sun was shining and the clouds were magnificent. I just stood and stared at this picture. So pretty, don’t you think?
I clicked away…
Common Eiders At Boat Meadow River On Cape Cod
There is a pair of Common Eiders on Boat Meadow Creek in Eastham on Cape Cod. I’ve seen them recently from the bridge on Bridge Road.
The Common Eider is a large duck, from 23-27″ and usually lives along the coastline in all seasons. It feeds primarily underwater on mollusks by up-ending or swimming with only its head submerged.
It was pretty cool to see these Common Eiders as I’ve only seen them a couple of times before. Look at the difference in coloring from the male to the female. Have you ever seen one?
