With a large storm off the coast and a Small Craft Warning, the waves were huge and the surfers were out en masse yesterday at Lecount Hollow in Wellfleet! (Click on blog link for other photo.)
It was so much fun to stand on top of the dunes and watch them far below battling those gigantic waves! #lecounthollow #surfing #wellfleet
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
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.
