Eastham Chamber Of Commerce Is A Great Resource On Cape Cod!
338 viewsI was so excited when I picked up “Eastham 2020,” a booklet published each summer by the Eastham Chamber of Commerce, and saw that one of my kayaking photographs was used on their “Things To Do…To The Beach” page. How cool is that? (Click on blog link to see other photo.)
Eastham 2020 is a wonderful resource which includes everything that you might want to know if you are visiting Eastham: accommodations, restaurants, shopping, beaches, biking trails, hiking trails, historic sites, maps, activities, etc. The list goes on and on. You can find the booklet in many locations around town.
Thank you, Jim. It was such a treat to see my photograph included in Eastham 2020!
Beautiful View From Indian Rock At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.
456 views
It was the perfect day to take a hike along one of Fort Hill’s many trails. This trail leads up to Skiff Hill which has an overlook of Nauset Marsh with Coast Guard Beach in the distance.
It is also the site of the “Indian Rock,” which a large boulder moved to the hill from the marsh below. “Once used by the local Nauset tribe as a sharpening stone, the rock is cut with deep grooves and smoothed in circles where ax heads were whetted.”
Such a beautiful place, don’t you think?
Cute Little Hairy Woodpecker In Our Yard On Cape Cod!
542 viewsWe have so many woodpeckers in our yard here on Cape Cod… Hairy Woodpeckers, Downy Woodpeckers and Northern Flickers. They all just love the suet at our feeders.
This Hairy Woodpecker was basking in the sun on the side of the tree on a cold morning. Such a beautiful bird, don’t you think?
What Could They Possibly Be Building In Rock Harbor On Cape Cod?
341 viewsWe’ve been watching the huge cranes working at Rock Harbor for a couple of weeks now. I thought they were putting in new pilings for a new dock. But, little by little, they put these huge metal pilings around the whole boat ramp on the Eastham side. (Click on blog link for other photo.) Help! How would we launch our kayaks this summer if they got rid of the ramp?
We drove over to the Eastham side and asked one of the workers what they were doing. He explained that they had to put these huge metal pilings all around the boat ramp so they could pump the water out of the area so they could build a new ramp. Amazing!
I had no idea that’s how they built a new ramp going into the water, did you?
(The photos look different because I took one on Sunday when it was cloudy and the other on Monday, when the crane was operating.)
Beautiful Glacier Rocks By The Kettle Ponds On Cape Cod.
728 views
There are so many rocks, called erratics, left by the glaciers along the shores of the thousands of kettle ponds here on Cape Cod. Some are huge and some are really small. You can see the large size of the rocks in the 2nd and 3rd photos. (Click on blog link to see other photos.)
Have you seen many glacial rocks in your travels on Cape Cod or elsewhere?
