The clouds were just spectacular at Boat Meadow here on Cape Cod the other evening. It was dead low tide, so the boats were resting on the sand.
I thought it was a stunning view, what do you think?

It’s been so warm lately I seem to be taking a walk after dinner… and I usually end up at Boat Meadow on Cape Cod Bay. I can’t think of a place I’d rather be. It’s always so gorgeous! Each time is unique unto itself with high tide or low tide or changing tide, sunny or cloudy, windy or calm, etc.
This evening was just gorgeous as the tides were going out and the clouds in the sky were spectacular!
I was taking a walk on the beach at Boat Meadow when I heard these laughing Gulls squawking at each other. It sounded as though they were laughing at each other back and forth. I watched (and listened) to them for a bit until a Crow flew in and started squawking along with them It was hilarious!
The Laughing Gulls flew away!
It was really low tide at Boat Meadow on Cape Cod Bay. You could walk out for it seemed like miles.
You can see the waves way far away in the distance in this photograph. The tide swing is just amazing!
One of my favorite walks at my new home here in Eastham on Cape Cod is across the bridge at Boat Meadow Marsh. It is just spectacular. There is always something new to see.
I heard some birds calling and looked over as they all landed on the marsh. It wasn’t until I looked at my photographs later that I realized they were a flock of Greater Yellowlegs. I have never seen more than 2 of them together, so this was really special, even though they were pretty far away.
I feel like I hit the jackpot yesterday when I went for a walk to Boat Meadow on Cape Cod. Thank goodness I had my camera. There were so many different birds!
It was almost high tide when this Willett was searching for food in the seagrass on the shore. It looks like he got a nice crab for lunch!
Willetts stand about 15″ tall with a wing span of 26.” When they fly, the ends of their wings are black with a wide white stripe down the middle. Very pretty…
This was such a pretty photograph of Boat Meadow at high tide on Cape Cod. The tides on Cape Cod Bay have a huge swing from high to low. At low tide you can walk for miles whereas at high tide the water gets pretty close to shore.
Early yesterday morning we drove by Boat Meadow Marsh and my favorite bird, the Great Blue Heron, was standing among the reeds in the marsh. Perfect photo op. So when I got home I got my camera and walked back.
Blue (as I call him) was still there. Great! But only for a minute and then he flew away. Oh no! I missed him.
A couple of minutes later I saw 2 large birds flying in the sky. I thought they were courting. They seemed to be in sync.
It wasn’t until I went back and looked at my photographs closely that I realized that an Osprey was chasing the Great Blue Heron.
It’s official! We have moved in to our new home here in Eastham on Cape Cod. It is so exciting!
After many, many hours of unpacking boxes that were packed last June and putting things away, I decided to see how far it was to walk to Boat Meadows…. 9 1/2 minutes! Wow! I can do that any time. And not a bad view, huh?
Plus, there are benches to sit on to relax and just take in the gorgeous scenery.
I will post some photographs of our new home when we get it looking a little bit better. Lots of clutter everywhere, so a walk to the beach was the perfect medicine.
It was the perfect morning to pack a picnic breakfast and head out to the beach. Boat Meadows in Eastham on Cape Cod was the place to be. Just look at those clouds.
It was a glorious day with the temperature in the 60s. It feels a lot like spring…
Have you had a picnic yet?
