Love The Little Sanderlings Along The Shores Of Cape Cod

I just loved this photograph of these four little Sanderlings on the shores of Cape Cod as they braved the heavy winds by the ocean. All of the birds were facing right into the wind so they looked like they were all in perfect formation!

Cute little guys, huh?

Portrait Of A Seagull At Nauset Beach On Cape Cod

It was one of those days when you walk on Nauset Beach and the seagulls just stare at you and don’t move. The wind is blowing, the sun is shining and it’s a glorious day!

This guy just stood in the water and watched as I clicked away. Cute little guy, don’t you think?

Rusty Treasure On Nauset Beach In Orleans On Cape Cod

It’s so much fun to walk along the beaches of Cape Cod and look for little treasures along the shore. Yesterday I saw this piece of an old board with something very rusty on top of it.

I have no idea what it is, but my imagination kicked right in! Is it from an old ship that sunk out here in the ocean? What on earth could it be?

Did you ever find an old treasure that really got your imagination going?

Pretty Driftwood On Nauset Beach In Orleans On Cape Cod

I don’t see many pieces of driftwood on the beaches in Cape Cod, so it was a treat to see this piece of driftwood on Nauset Beach. It looked like it had washed in and was somewhat buried in the sand.

I wonder how many people photographed this piece of driftwood?

 

Living On The Edge Of The Dunes In Wellfleet On Cape Cod

We had read about a house sitting right on top of the dunes in Wellfleet on Cape Cod that is so close to the edge that it is in danger of being swalowed up in a big storm. So we went to investigate.

Wow!

This house is really close to the edge as you can see in the photograph. It has been in the family for 60 years and was 150 feet farther away from the ocean at that time. We calculated that the ocean has eroded about  2-3 feet of the sand dunes each year since then. Unbelievable what Mother Nature can do.

They are moving the house 15 feet back. Sure hope they can get another few years out of that gorgeous location!
