It has been a typical fall morning so far. There were openings in the clouds along the horizon at the National Sea Shore which invited a glowing sun that never showed. Clouds thickened, fog rolled in. On my way to the bay side the sun shined through the clouds. And then it didn’t. Now it’s raining.
Before all this, I was at Marconi beach. It was dark enough for me to see my shadow form from the moonlight. It was a good opportunity to take some pics with longer exposure times.
It was feeding time at moonrise last night. Seagulls searched the shoreline in the shadow of the dune before the rising tide approached. Humans were there feeding their souls. And all were in awe.
The temperature and humidity dropped and what has been for months a cool and refreshing surf became warm and soothing this morning. A very welcome change, if you ask me.
It was a very comfortable morning with a land breeze and a dreamy sky. I wasn’t alone taking in the sunrise, which was fine. Still enjoyed the cool ocean on my ankles.
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.
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.
