Cape Cod in October. Wellfleet, Massachusetts kicked back and relaxed a little last weekend. The crowds had left with the summer temperatures, but the sun still sparkled brightly on the Atlantic.
Straw colored grasses waved at a sapphire sea. The salt marshes of the Cape Cod National Seashore displayed some of the same rosy and ruddy reds of the scrub oak forests, but as an unexpected sort of gala carpeting rather than merely the draping foliage of dangling autumn leaves.
Perfection comes in varied modes, flavors and sizes. For me, Cape Cod in October is an excellent fit.

Nothing Profound: So true. I savor these lovely October days all the more knowing that cold November is getting so close!
Doreen: It is Great Island! That was my first chance to hike the trail, and I loved it (more photos to come). I was in Wellfleet to celebrate my cousin’s 50th birthday -fun weekend! Sounds like you know the area well!

Can i tellyou how we sailed out of the harbor and pulled up at little island and the tide went out. we came back from a walk and the boat was about 50 feet out high and dry. Had to sun bathe waiting for the tide to come in…..LOL.
