The dunes at First Encounter look like they’ve accumulated quite a bit of sand over the winter. I don’t remember them being this steep. It must have blown in with some of the storms. You can hardly see the fence post sticking out of the sand.
We were driving to Provincetown yesterday morning and noticed that there was a pretty heavy coating of snow from Eastham to Provincetown. It was really pretty.
Then when we passed East Harbor the snow-covered dunes looked just like the snow-capped Colorado Rockies! Wow! Pretty cool, don’t you think?
With all of the winter erosion on the Cape Cod coast, it is best not to walk on the dunes. Hopefully the beach grass will grow back and help mitigate the erosion.
Last Saturday was a gorgeous day for a bike ride as temps were in the lower 70s here on the Cape. It was just spectacular! (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I loved this photograph of the dune at First Encounter Beach. And then I zoomed out… now I can’t decide which one I like better.
What do you think? Which one do you like better?
