I looked out across the salt marsh and saw about 20-25 kite-surfers in the distance. They were kite-surfing off of First Encounter Beach, a favorite place to start from. It looks like they are mostly on the salt marsh.
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen this many at one time. Pretty cool, huh?
First Encounter Beach is a great place to take a walk at low tide. It seems like you can walk for miles, in any direction. The colors on the horizon in the afternoon were so pretty looking west.
We’ve noticed a lot of trucks bringing truckloads of huge boulders to First Encounter Beach in the past few weeks, so we thought we’d go investigate. They must be getting ready for the winter storms and the high tides. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
You can see in the first photograph where the dunes are being washed away and where the rocks are being placed to help delay the erosion. What an effort!
The 2nd photograph shows a few of the houses and just how close they are to the edge of the dunes. I sure hope those boulders hold up to Mother Nature. You look at those houses and think… What an incredible view!
The sky was just beautiful at First Encounter Beach the other day. I couldn’t decide if I liked the horizontal or vertical one better. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
We’ve had a lot of very windy days here on Cape Cod lately. I don’t remember ever seeing so many white caps on the bay side. I took this photograph from our car picnic. It was just gorgeous!
