Surprises Come In All Directions On Cape Cod!

When I saw Provincetown Photography Page’s challenge of “glass” this past week on their Facebook page, I thought it would be fun to participate. Provincetown Photograph Page has a new challenge every week or two and they are so much fun to see. The creativity of the photographers is amazing! I wasn’t sure where I would find a photo to answer the challenge.

Yesterday Phil and I were down at the beach and when we started to drive away there it was in the side mirror… the perfect photo op for me in glass. I thought it was so cool as it portrayed Cape Cod, its beaches and its benches.

The moral of my photo: Don’t forget to look behind you and all around you. You never know what you will see!

 

The Beech Forest Trail In Provincetown On Cape Cod.

The Beech Forest Trail is one of our favorite trails in Provincetown. No matter what the time of the year, it is always gorgeous. (Click on blog link for other photos.)

There is so much to see and such diversity along the trail. There was a huge tree that was down right beyond these steps. We were happy we didn’t have to go that way.

These funny-shaped trees always make us smile. They remind us of the trees in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, where we used to live. They called them “snow knees” because of the way they grew with all of the snow coming down the mountainside on them.

Fun memories… on a great trail!

Walk The Breakwater In Provincetown To Long Point!

Walking the mile long rock jetty, or breakwater, from Provincetown to Long Point Beach and Long Point Lighthouse is an experience you will never forget. The views of the expansive beach and looking back toward Provincetown are just spectacular! (Click on blog link for other photos.)

 Long Point is the sandy tip of Cape Cod across from Provincetown Harbor.  It is literally “Land’s End.” You can see Wood End Light in the above photograph way in the distance.

The walk out on the breakwater is across boulders the entire way, so you need to be careful and check the tides as the rocks can get very slippery at high tide.

Or, for the “faint-of-heart,” there is a Long Point Shuttle that will transport you from Provincetown to Long Point Beach!
