This was such a beautiful sunset over the salt marsh by Cape Cod Bay. I love the ray of light meeting the marsh… what do you think?

Enjoying The Last Days Of Summer On Cape Cod…
View Of Coast Guard Station On Cape Cod.
This is one view on Cape Cod that will never get old.
Looking back on Coast Guard Beach at Coast Guard Station on the left is always spectacular. You can see the ocean, the beach and the iconic Coast Guard Station which is one of the original nine stations constructed at Nauset. The history is amazing and worth researching. #coastguardbeach #eastham #nationalseashore #coastguardstation
Gorgeous American Painted Lady Butterfly In Our Yard On Cape Cod.
It seems like I’ve seen more butterflies in the past couple of weeks than I’ve seen all summer! This American Painted Lady was flitting from flower to flower in our yard and stayed for quite a while. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
The ironic thing is that when I bought these flats of flowers, they were marked “pink,” which is what I wanted. By the time they started to bloom, I realized that they were all white and it was too late to get any pink ones as they were all sold out. Well, the butterflies LOVE these white Zinnias! Guess what color flowers I will get neat year?
You can tell that this is an American Painted Lady because of the two blue spots on each wing. Beautiful butterfly, don’t you think? I love the difference in the upper-side and under-side of the wings of these beauties.
Sailing Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod.
I haven’s seen many people trying to sail Nauset Marsh as the waterways are narrow and you definitely need a bit of wind. But yesterday morning we saw this colorful Sunfish sailing right out of Orlean’s Town Cove and all through Nauset Marsh. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
It was pretty cool to watch from the overlook at Fort Hill. #nausetmarsh #forthill #natiuonalseashore
