During one of the only sunny days we’ve had recently, we took a nice walk on Coast Guard Beach. With all the wind and frigid weather, it had been a while. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
There is the old rusty pole that has been sticking out of the dunes for years. As the dunes erode, the pole gets longer. And it’s been cold enough that the drips have frozen and made this very interesting ice sculpture. Have you seen it?
We took a drive to Marconi Beach and as usual, it’s just spectacular! The new stairs from last year look great as does the walkway out! It’s almost time to start thinking of some warmer weather and long walks on the beach…
I always love the view when you’re driving in to Skaket Beach and you see the little shack at the entrance. You can feel the anticipation of a wonderful time at the beach… not yet, maybe in a couple of months!
Little Pleasant Bay was pretty iced over when we stopped by the other day. But oh, so pretty! Look at those puffy little clouds along the horizon and Hog Island in the distance…
It’s been cold and windy and snowy this winter on Cape Cod, but the views in the snow have been absolutely spectacular! It doesn’t get much prettier here at Nauset Beach! It even looks like the snow is starting to melt a bit.
The snow is high and everything you see is white… as far out as you can see. I’ve never seen Cape Cod Bay when you can’t even see the open water, just the snow and ice. It looks like you’re in the Arctic…
I always love this view as you come over the crest and look down toward the old entrance to Nauset Beach. It’s even pretty in winter with all the snow… but the anticipation you feel in the summer will just have to wait a few more months!
We only stopped at Fort Hill for a few minutes yesterday morning, and it was worth it! Looking out over Nauset Marsh was just spectacular!
There is still quite a bit of snow on the trails, but you can see the grass poking through where the sun has warmed it. I wonder what it will look like tomorrow after this next storm?!
Just for fun, I edited it with a more dramatic look. What do you think?
