Summer on Cape Cod Beach : Monomoy Island Review

cape code vacation
This beach scene with the fluffy clouds reflecting in the puddles is a nice memory from the summer trip to the Monomoy Island, near Cape Cod. Monomoy Island is Wildlife Refuge and is a protected haven for gray seals, endangered terns and other shore birds. The island is a relatively short boat trip away from the shore. The island has absolutely nothing on it but wildlife, so bring a picnic and enjoy a day away from the hassle and bustle.  It is wonderful!

For photos with reflections visit Reflections and photos of the sky visit Skywatch.

Thanks for sharing this - we were there on the seal tour almost five years ago and it was wonderful - almost missed the last boat back, but other than that we had a great time! Thanks too for your words of encouragement on my last post about Monday Artday, I really appreciate it!

Beautifully muted pastel layerings to this shot of the seaside. Fancy seeing sea-gulls lost amongst the clouds.

I wish you a happy and healthy journey into twenty ten.
