It felt more like a fall morning on Nauset Beach today. Perfect beach walking weather, if you ask me.
The sunrise was stunning. But the view to the southern horizon stole the show.

The sunrise was stunning. But the view to the southern horizon stole the show.
These images were taken Sunday night at Nauset Light Beach. Some were taken of the northern horizon while waiting for the moon to appear in the east.
The full moon tonight was blocked by thick clouds on the horizon, but it rose above them, and visibility was only challenged by lighter clouds blowing across from the south.
As Friday arrived clouds were already approaching. The clouds are predicted to stay and the temperature to get lower. Like this morning’s sliver of pink glow an hour before sunrise, if I was going to enjoy a little spring, it had to be right now.
I do admit it was a little early in the season to go barefoot on the beach. But other than that, I had a great time. Low clouds moved in from the south forming new cloud shapes on the horizon.
I spent Saturday afternoon out in the sun, visiting a few bayside beaches before heading over to Nauset Beach. Ironically, the images of hypnotic clouds on the horizon and the stillness of the tidal flats were captured while facing a strong and steady wind while the images of white caps and ocean spray were captured in relatively peaceful conditions.
I am grateful today did not begin with not one of those mind-blowing sky full of color sunrises. The messages in the sand and written on the waves under an uncertain sky would have been lost had that happened.
Opportunities to get outside with the camera have been few and far between this winter.
I was happy to pick up some coffee and head out to Nauset Light Beach to take in some cold air and winter color.
It was a cold but comfortable morning at Marconi Beach. The wind was light and the surrounding color breathtaking. A good beach walking day.
I was able to walk out about 50 yards out to the Atlantic Ocean this morning on a sandbar remaining from low tide. A few minutes before sunrise I had to return to the beach as the tide was coming in and it was too cold to be out with wet feet.
Long before the sun reached the horizon a beam of light brightened the sky.
The cloud bank on the horizon was very thick in wee small hours this morning. … although while still in EST, the hours were not very small.
It rained overnight and into the early morning hours. I was out after sunrise watching the storm depart. A clear blue sky pushed the storm eastward to the ocean. There was a strong and steady wind hitting the bay side beaches. On the ocean side it had diminished to a steady land breeze.
