Coast Guard Beach On The National Seashore On Cape Cod Was Gorgeous!

It was a spectacular day for a walk at Coast Guard Beach, part of the National Seashore. The weather has been very warm for this time of year, in the 70s and sunny. It feels like early September, not late October.

I loved this photograph of the path leading down to the beach from the Coast Guard Station in the background. What do you think?

Blue Lobster On Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod

We were taking a walk along Coast Guard beach after the storms a few days ago when I saw this blue lobster in the sand. Hmmm…. What was it? Where was it from? Was it indeed a lobster without its legs?

Was it really a blue lobster?  What it something else? I have no idea but I thought it was a pretty cool photograph.

Surfing Backwards At Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod

The waves were up with the remnants of Hurricanes Jose, so the surfers were in their glory. This surfer was strutting his stuff at Coast Guard Beach and had everyone watching.

Notice how he starts facing frontward and then turns around so he is surfing backwards. Pretty cool!

Common Baskettail Dragonfly At Fort Hill On Cape Cod

“The Common Baskettail is a medium-sized, dull brown dragonfly with a series of yellow-orange lateral spots on its stout abdomen. Many individuals have a large brown triangular spot at the base of each hindwing; however, the wings may be clear.”

I saw this Common Baskettail Dragon on one of the trails at Fort Hill in Eastham. I had never photographed one before. I love his little face.
