The view from the beach by the Wellfleet Pier looking out toward Jeremy Point is always so pretty, even on a windy, cloudy day. Pretty soon those benches will be filled with people enjoying the view of all the boats at Wellfleet Harbor.
The Red-Winged Blackbirds Are Back On Cape Cod!
I saw my first Red-winged Blackbird of the season yesterday morning at Fort Hill. I love it when they arrive in March as it signals that spring is just about here!
This guy was singing away on top of the branch way out in the meadow. As soon as you hear their sound, “Cuck-a-ree,” you know you made it through the winter.
Welcome back, Red-winged Blackbirds!
Gorgeous Clouds At Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.
Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod: Two Perspectives
I was hiking on the trail at Fort Hill by the water’s edge yesterday morning when I noticed that it was really low tide. I had never seen it that low there. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Usually at low tide I can see the first 3 taller rocks jutting out from the shore but there were so many more that you could see. And I don’t remember ever seeing such a large sandbar behind the rocks. Wow!
I couldn’t decide which photograph I liked better: the one with the water and sand in the foreground or the one with the beach grass. What do you think?
Interesting Houseboat In Provincetown Harbor On Cape Cod.
We’ve seen this houseboat out in the waters at the end of MacMillan Pier and never knew what it was. In doing some research I found several articles on this “dune shack” and how it washed ashore at Chatham’s North Beach and was moved to Provincetown Harbor.
A few years ago the new owner “salvaged the shack from the eroding sands of North Beach in Chatham, purchased it for $1 from its owners, and used his professional resources to move the 16-by-32-foot structure out to the harbor.” It really is pretty cool.
“The spell cast by the sounds of sea — the lapping of waves, gulls, the occasional seal, and fishing for your dinner at night — is hard to resist.” I guess he likes living there… what an adventure!
