Snowy winter on Cape Cod

You’d think I would post more since I’ve been somewhat housebound through the recent snowstorms. I have managed to get out quite a bit and to be honest, January was a crazy busy month for me between online sales, workshops, classes and talks. I’ve been writing my columns but not writing here.

Scenes like this have been common this winter….

006

as have scenes like this….007

Birds like this male cardinal have had to persevere through the storms in order to find food…006

You know what they say about red sky in the morning….002

Those red morning skies can make for scenes that look more like the arctic than Cape Cod….
003

We have become very familiar with many, many shades of gray….009

But some days the sun does still come out and fat little squirrels like this pregnant lady come out to stuff their faces….009

No doubt hoping the resident red tailed hawk isn’t looking for dinner…010It’s been a long snowy winter here on the Cape with more storminess predicted for the end of this week. I don’t know about you, but I am feeling winter weary.

 

 

Snow at the beach….

Every now and then I hear that someone is surprised that it can snow at the beach….it may not snow on southern beaches but it definitely snows here on our Cape Cod beaches….and it is quite beautiful!

There is something sublimely beautiful about the beach in the winter, especially with a bit of snow and ice….so bundle up and enjoy the view!
