17/10: Beaches, Birds and More

Posted by: The Agnew Family
This morning we booked our motel room for another 2 nights --- guess that means we like Cape Cod, Provincetown and the motel.
It's still quite cool but the sun is shining so all is good. It's interesting to people watch with this type of weather at the beach. There's still a few die hards who are in their shorts and sandals. For once I'm in the in between category but probably only because Ed said I wouldn't need a toque or scarf.
The Highland Light.
Coast Guard Beach.
We went for a long walk at Race Point Beach.
We saw a number of seals swimming along the beach. They are quite cute and seam to be people watching they way we are seal watching.
This guy looks like he's planning to get into some kind of mischief.
Several flocks of birds were hanging out on the beach. For whatever reason they seemed content to stay in one spot as long as people didn't get too close.
Ooops I think I might have taken one step to many. The terms flew about 10 feet further along the beach.
I think these little guys were just resting.
At West End Marsh there is a rock dyke. Good thing we walking near low tide as it gets covered by high tide.
The main tourist street in Provincetown. Lots of shops and restaurants though a number of them are closed as it is now low season for the area.
An interesting bit of sky line seen from the beach and old floats from lobster traps.
Sunset. My initial feeling was something was wrong as the sun was setting in the direction that I thought was east. Looking at a map I realized the cape has an interesting bend in it so yes everything is right with the world and the sun was setting in the west.
