Yesterday morning when we woke up, we could hear the roaring of the ocean waves from our home on the bay side in Eastham. I had never heard it so loud! (Click on blog link for other photos.)
I just had to take a drive down to Nauset Beach to see what was making all of that noise. What a treat!
Nauset Beach was cranking! The waves were big and plentiful and just gorgeous to watch.
While hiking on the Nauset Marsh Trail, we always pass this little pond past the overlook. We haven’t stopped there in a while because I never think it is a good photo op.
And then Phil stopped there a few days ago to check it out and this is what we saw… so pretty looking out toward Nauset Marsh, don’t you think?
The past few days have been incredibly windy here on Cape Cod. I took a walk at Wiley Park yesterday and I couldn’t believe how many white caps there were out on Great Pond! Wow!
It was a beautiful, sunny day at Fort Hill and the light on Indian Rock at Skiff Hill at Fort Hill was just beautiful. You can really see the carvings made by the Native Americans. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Indian Rock was a “community grinding rock, one of four such rocks found in the Nauset area. The Indians used the abrasive qualities of the fine-grained metamorphic rock to grind and polish implements made of stone and animal bones, such as stone axes or bone fishhooks.
Indian Rock was originally located in the mud of the marsh below where it now sits on Skiff Hill. The National Park Service moved the 20-ton boulder to this site in 1965.”
The trails on Cape Cod are starting to look more and more like spring with all of the leaves starting to come out. It’s so refreshing to see all of the color after winter when everything is so desolate.
Pretty trail, don’t you think?
