At Coast Guard Beach


Last night's dramatic clouds brought us some light showers in the wee hours, but were breaking up as the storm moved back out to sea this morning.

After picking up the new glasses again (Yay!), I was headed to the bank in Eastham and decided to detour to Coast Guard Beach.

Not only did it get me away from the re-paving project on Route 6, but as it turned out, the surf was more exciting than normal...and the clouds moving out to sea were pretty cool, too.

I think the dragon's head is pretty clear (above, left)...but I also just watched "Jurassic Park", so maybe that's just me projecting.


Here's another video experiment. Due, I think, to the close proximity to the noon hour, the color balance is a bit off, and I'm not sure how to adjust that yet. Anyway, the crashing waves were pretty cool, even if the wind off the water plays a little havoc with the audio.



As I headed on to the bank, I spotted one of the Eastham turkeys foraging along the roadside. Always cool to see them, though he (she?) beat a hasty retreat into the woods when the camera and I appeared.

Coast Guard Beach


On the way to work, it occurred to me that I'd not seen the Atlantic in a few weeks, so I made a side-trip to Coast Guard Beach in Eastham. The clouds were building more by then and a gray pallor seemed to fall over our day.

Around the Coast Guard station, lots of these little blue chicory blossoms were holding forth in the lawn. I just love these guys.

Seaside goldenrod lives up to its name.

Coast Guard Beach

With three named storms (Maria, Nate and Ophelia) currently swirling in the Atlantic, there is a high surf advisory in effect for our area, and I couldn't resist having a look for myself on the way home this evening.
