Lots Of Horseshoe Crabs In The Waters Of Cape Cod.

It’s that time of the year when you can see the horseshoe crabs scurrying around in the water and occasionally when they mate. There was so much commotion in the water at Hemenway Landing that I decided to go investigate. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

You can see all of the horseshoe crabs along the shore moving about.  I took a few photographs where you can see the ripples in the water as they propel forward. I had never noticed their eyes before… another first this season for me!

Have you ever noticed the horseshoe crab’s eyes?

The Huge Tides On Cape Cod Bay.

I was taking a walk along the beach the other day when the tide started coming in. I thought it would be interesting to take 3 different photographs, each about 15 minutes apart so that you can see just how fast the tide comes in on Cape Cod Bay.

In the first photo, you can see the water started to meander in to shore. In the 2nd photo, it has gotten a lot higher.

In the last photo, the water is way up on the shore. The tide swings on Cape Cod Bay are just amazing!
