What Are Those Orange Buoys At First Encounter Beach On Cape Cod?
2,190 viewsI’ve always wondered what those orange buoys were for at First Encounter Beach. It just didn’t make sense to have these orange buoys so close to shore. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
And then we stopped there the other day and saw all of the tire tracks in the sand and it all made sense. Do you know what those buoys are for?
These orange buoys are like a road map that the trucks drive through at low tide to reach their oyster beds way out in the flats. What an ingenious idea! You can see the orange buoys and tire tracks in all 3 of the images (if you look close enough), and the tire tracks through the sand that leads out from the parking lot.
Vintage Fire Truck In Eastham Aglow With Holiday Lights!
1,247 viewsI look forward every Christmas holiday season to seeing this vintage fire engine all decked out in its festive holiday lights in front of the Eastham Fire Station on Route 6.
It’s so much fun to drive around and see what each town has for their holiday displays. They are all so creative and colorful!
Huge Tide Swing In Photos On Cape Cod Bay!
1,412 viewsDid you know that there can be a tidal difference of between 8-12 feet from low tide to high tide on Cape Cod Bay?
In the first photo you can see the trucks (circled) out on the flats at low tide near First Encounter Beach while the fishermen are harvesting their oyster beds. The 2nd photo shows where the trucks were but now it is high tide. It always blows my mind to think that trucks can drive so far out there on the flats, while only a few hours later they would be totally under water!
Even The Birds Celebrate The Holidays On Cape Cod.
1,392 viewsWe had stopped so I could take a few photos of Provincetown’s iconic Lobster Pot tree, when I heard so much noise coming from the tree. There were hundreds of birds flying in and out of the traps and they were chirping away. This little Finch stopped to bask in the sun for a minute. Isn’t he adorable?
Even the little birds celebrate the holidays.

Christmas On The Salt Marsh On Cape Cod.
1,458 viewsIt’s the Christmas season and certainly time to be in the holiday spirit. I love this rowboat with the decorated Christmas tree that is “launched” every year about this time! It’s especially pretty when the tides are really high, so it’s floating in the water. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I couldn’t decide which photo I like better. What do you think? Such a pretty reflection!
