Nauset wildlife

These guys are so cute. Are sandpipers endangered?

I went straight to the beach when I learned this afternoon that I should probably return to Georgia tomorrow. Flooring installation has been postponed until October.

Nauset surf

Offshore winds continued throughout the day, taking the tops off the waves. Blowing sand stung the calves.

Traversing the barrier beach

,I assumed the "W" meant Walk and followed the footprints to the inlet side. Looking directly toward the afternoon sun on that side, I have trouble seeing our house across the water. Some morning will provide a better photo op.

Nauset Barrier Beach

Sometimes the barrier beach is off limits for everyone in order to protect the piping plover. Today large sections of the dunes were roped off.

From our house we can see vehicles being driven along this barrier beach. I wonder if they can go all the way to the break across from Coast Guard Beach.

Nauset Beach

In the fall, some folks bring a chair, a blanket, and a book to the beach, bundle up, and stay awhile.

Morning at Skaket Beach

A blustery day on Skaket Beach. The gulls are all hunkering down to wait out offshore winds reaching 30 mph today.
