Happy New Year!

Wow, the last few months have just flown by me and I have been remiss about posting here. If you’re on Facebook, that is where I am every day with new pictures, latest sightings, etc. but I will try to be better about posting here for those of you are not Facebook sort of folks….

It’s hard to believe there’s still snow on the ground but it sure has been cold out there! There is even still snow at the beach…

and for those of you keeping track of the birds you see this year, this Iceland Gull at Craigville Beach is very accommodating and easy to see in the parking lot there…

Stay warm out there!

The first snow….

We’ve waited a long time to see more than a dusting of snow here on the Cape but this morning it began as I got to the beach…

There wasn’t a single other person around and it was still and silent except for a few gulls….

a small flock of buffleheads…

and the quiet lapping of the water against the frozen sand..

At a different beach along the way there were empty benches and empty docks…

I love these quiet mornings when I can pretend that I am alone and that the beach is here just for me, even if it is for just a short time.

Have a happy snow day today!
