The sunset was just beautiful at Boat Meadow Beach the other night. I caught this moment just before the sun got lost in the clouds. The orange colors were so vibrant.
I loved the reflection of the sun on the water… what do you think?
Queen Anne’s Lace Wildflowers Are Blooming And Plentiful On Cape Cod.
You can see the white Queen’s Anne’s Lace wildflowers blooming everywhere on Cape Cod. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many! They are just beautiful!
“The Queen Anne’s lace ‘flower’ is actually a compound flower with thousands of tiny white flowers in lacy, flat-topped clusters (umbels) with a dark, purplish center. As the seeds ripen, the inflorescence curls inward to form a birds nest shape and turns a brownish color.”
How did Queen Anne’s lace flower get its name?
“Queen Anne’s lace is said to be named after Queen Anne herself. Queen Anne was well versed in lacemaking. One day while sewing she pricked herself with a needle. A drop of blood fell unto her lace, leaving a single dark purple floret in the center of the flower.”
The CG36500 Is Back In The Water At Rock Harbor On Cape Cod.
After a nice bath at Nauset Marine, the CG36500 is back in the water at Rock Harbor.
I just happened to see Nauset Marine’s FB picture of the CG36500 getting a bath a couple of days ago. And then yesterday, I just happened to be driving down Bridge Road when I saw Nauset Marine’s truck carrying the CG36500 back to the boat launch on the Eastham side of Rock Harbor, so I decided to follow it.
What a treat! The CG36500 is the center of such an amazing story about a ocean rescue off of Chatham that was made into a Disney movie called “The Finest Hours.” Truly unforgettable…
