Mother Nature sure has been busy by Nauset Spit on Coast Guard Beach. As you walk down toward the spit, the beach looks absolutely humongous! There is so much sand. (Cluck on blog link for other photos.)
You can see there are little pools that lead into little rivers that get filled at high tide. It looks so different. At the very end by the spit, don’t try to walk around to the marsh side at high tide, as the water comes right up to the dunes.
Have you taken a walk on Coast Guard Beach lately? Always so beautiful and constantly changing!
I was just commenting to Phil that I had not seen a Cooper’s Hawk in our yard in a long time. They frequently like to hang out in the trees near our bird feeders, looking for their next meal. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
And then this beautiful hawk landed on a branch nearby and I was able to take some nice photos, even through the window. He stayed for a bit, but then flew away when he realized there were no birds anywhere nearby.
The drive up Route 6 to Provincetown is always scenic, but when you hit the crest of the hill overlooking P’Town, it takes your breath away…. always so pretty! Anticipation takes over…
There were quite a few seals swimming about at low tide on Coast Guard Beach. It’s always so much fun to see the seals and watch all of their playfulness in the water.
We had quite a few Hummingbirds at the beginning of the summer and then none for many weeks, so we were excited when this Ruby-throated Hummingbird came back this week.
She’s been hanging around the hummingbird feeder and flowers quite a bit, but I really liked this photograph of her resting on a branch in the tree.
