Interesting Free-Form Sculptures At Nauset Light Beach On Cape Cod.
Someone has been busy at Nauset Light Beach. They have made 2 of these free-firm structures using only things found at the beach like driftwood and twine from the branches. Standing about 8′ tall, they are pretty cool looking. One is at the entrance to the beach by the trail and the other one is quite a ways down the beach toward Coast Guard Beach.
Have you seen them on the beach? Someone was being very creative!
Nauset Beach Is Always Spectacular On Cape Cod!
Nauset Beach, part of the National Seashore, is one of the more popular beaches on Cape Cod. Its beaches go for miles… Nauset Spit to the north and to Chatham to the south.
I loved this photograph as you walk up the first path to the beach. So pretty, don’t you think?
You can see that they have been working hard over the winter to install this new fence to help with beach erosion.
Interesting Sand Patterns At Nauset Spit On Cape Cod.
There were the coolest patterns of sand at the end of Coast Guard Beach by Nauset Spit. It almost looks like a tray of swirled fudge. (Click on blog link to see larger photo
You can see the formations as you look out onto Nauset Marsh from the backside of Coast Guard Beach.
Pretty interesting, don’t you think?
Pretty Pink Stork’s-Bill Wildflowers On Cape Cod.
The Stork’s-Bill wildflower is one of the earliest and prettiest of the wildflowers here on Cape Cod. I saw these Stork’s Bill wildfowers at the Visitors Center in Eastham. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
It is an exquisite wildflower with “stems that bear bright pink flowers, which often have dark spots on the bases. The flowers are arranged in a loose cluster and have ten filaments – five of which are fertile – and five styles. The long seed-pod, shaped like the bill of a stork, bursts open in a spiral when ripe, sending the seeds into the air.”
Wishing you all a Happy Mother’s Day! May you find some time to take a little walk outside and enjoy all that Mother Nature has to offer!
