We could see the sky starting to turn those gorgeous hues of pinks and purples, so we made a detour up to the overlook at Fort Hill! Wow!
This spectacular sunrise overlooking Nauset Marsh was definitely worth getting up early!!
Truro Vineyards “pioneered the art of maritime grape growing on the Cape, and their vinifera vineyard produces wine with intense flavor and lush varietal character.” (Click on blog link for other photos.)
“They welcome wine lovers from around the world, who visit the tasting room and gift shop in their carefully restored 1830’s farmhouse. South Hollow Spirits is their new onsite distillery, where they produce Twenty Boat Rums and Dry Line Gin in our 250 gallon copper pot still.”
“Come visit us soon to sample our spirits, enjoy a cocktail on the lawn in the company of friends, and savor the taste of the season.”
Have you ever been to Truro Vineyards?
It was low tide and there were so many different shore birds feeding on the flats at Boat Meadow Beach. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
It was such a treat to see this Black-bellied Plover which breeds on the Arctic tundra and winters on coastal areas like beaches and mudflats.
I found this range map of the Black-bellied Plovers and thought it was so interesting.
It has been so windy here on the Cape the past few days with big waves and white caps on the bayside. We had stopped at Boat Meadow when we saw a flash of bright colors moving pretty fast along the horizon. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

So, we drove to First Encounter Beach to see what was going on. There was this wind-surfer “flying” through the water. Wow! Was he going fast! What fun!
