It seems like there is always a fishing boat docked at MacMillan Pier. The Yankee Rose was just beautiful on the dock with that gorgeous sky and They Faced The Sea mural in the background. You never know what you’ll see at the Pier, but it’s always pretty unique!
I posted this 2 years ago on my blog. Yesterday I heard that the Yankee Rose had overturned and sunk off of Provincetown killing the 2 people on board. How sad… our hearts go out to the fishing community on Cape Cod.
The views from Pahwah Landing are always gorgeous, whether you’re looking out toward Little Pleasant Bay or down toward Pahwah Pond. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I was so surprised to see this beautiful reflection on the water with so much snow and ice around. And I was equally surprised to see this same Great Blue Heron standing in exactly the same place that he was standing 4 weeks ago when I featured him on my blog. How cool!
We’ve been stopping at the Orleans Yacht Club almost daily to see what new birds we could find. Most of the time they were “just ducks,” but as we looked closer among them, we could see one that was just a bit different.
“The Northern Pintail is a widespread, migratory duck known for its elegant, slender build, long neck, and the male’s long, pointed tail feathers, which give it its name.” It is rare to see this bird on Cape Cod this time of year and the first time we’ve ever seen one. What a treat!
Have you ever seen a Northern Pintail?
We took a ride to Coast Guard Beach yesterday just to see what it looked like after the blizzard. You can see quite a bit of erosion in the photograph looking back up the trail from the beach. About 10-15’ of the beach fence is down and there is a 4 foot step down to get to the beach. Mother Nature has been very busy this past week.
