It was a beautiful morning at First Encounter Beach with the sun just starting to rise and the puffy clouds in the sky. It was such a pretty photo at low tide.
And then I got home and looked at my photo… whoops! I guess the sun was still low enough to make a loooong shadow!
The sun was just starting to come up at First Encounter Beach and the shack was still dark before the crowds would descend on the beach to get some respite on this hot summer’s day.
Every time I bike to First Encounter Beach, there is at least one Willet yakking away on the First Encounter sign. I always think of them as the Welcoming Committee! (Click on blog link for other photo.)
If you drive further down the road, you can see Willets on all on the fence posts along the road. Have you seen them there?
I love biking along Herring Brook Road and looking out toward First Encounter Beach. The dunes look so cool as they dot the horizon. And then you ride to the beach and they are so pretty. This was early in the morning… look at those clouds!
When it’s low tide on Cape Cod Bay, you can walk out for miles. At First Encounter Beach, it looks like you can walk forever. The flats are so amazing and ever-changing. Love those colors…
This was such a pretty sunset at First Encounter Beach. The parking lot was packed as everyone waited around for that moment when the sun dips below the horizon.
I loved all of the reflections on the water. What do you think?
The dunes at First Encounter look like they’ve accumulated quite a bit of sand over the winter. I don’t remember them being this steep. It must have blown in with some of the storms. You can hardly see the fence post sticking out of the sand.
Do they look a little steeper to you too?
