The dunes look huge on Coast Guard Beach, eaten away by the virulent winter storms the past few years. Phil took this photograph of me a few days ago. At first I thought… wow!
And then I looked back at a similar photograph that he took last year about this time and the dunes don’t look as bad as we thought… maybe a bit higher. Hopefully the spring and summer will bring back that much needed sand again.
I decided to make a Cape Cod Valentine’s Day Card for my friends and family who love Cape Cod. Of course the day I decided to make it was about 20 degrees with 20 mph winds. It was freezing, but I was determined.
I drove down to Coast Guard Beach in the morning when the tide was starting to come in. I found a short stick and made a heart, only to realize that my footprints were in the photograph. So, I found a longer stick. I was all set! Now to figure out how to draw the heart, take the photograph and get out of the way before the wave came in….hmmm.
I made the heart. It looked good. I got my camera out and took a photograph as the wave started to come in. It looked good. But in all my excitement, my feet got stuck in the sand as the water came in and I fell down on my knees. Whoops! It sure was cold but I think I got a great Valentine’s Day photo for my Valentine’s Day Card.
Wishing a Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone and especially everyone who loves Cape Cod!
I posted 2 photographs yesterday of the gorgeous clouds on Coast Guard Beach, part of the National Seashore. No matter which way you looked the clouds were amazing.
I turned around facing the opposite direction, looking toward Nauset Spit, and this is what I saw. Beautiful, don’t you think?
With temperatures in the mid 60s the other day, Coast Guard Beach on the National Seashore was the perfect place to take a walk. It felt like mid-May. Unbelievable!
The clouds were spectacular! I took a horizontal and thought was pretty special. And then I took a vertical. Wow! I can’t decide which one I like better. What do you think?
The view of Nauset Marsh from Fort Hil, no matter what direction you look, is always breathtaking. I love this view of Nauset Marsh with Coast Guard Station in the background, especially with the blue, blue water.
What do you think?
I loved this photograph of this lone surfer walking to the water with his surfboard. You can see the huge dunes that have been eaten away by the ocean over the years and the blue, blue sky in the background.
I thought it was pretty cool. What do you think?
Wishing you a Happy New Year from Cape Cod and a year filled with fun and adventure!
