Stranded on the sand.
Low tide reflections at Chapin Beach in Dennis this past week.

Chapin Beach, Dennis — February 8 & March 4.
The cupola of the former Nauset Coast Guard Station, standing tall on the bluff overlooking this slim stretch of sand, is now more visible from the wrack line of the beach than ever before.

“After more than three and a half centuries of occupation by Western man, the real Cape still eludes us, offering and withdrawing its mysteries with the tides, saying follow me, know me, live with me.”
— Robert Finch, “Outlands”

Yet another washashore.
Coast Guard Beach in Eastham — smooth as can be (in some spots, anyway).
Before “The Outermost House,” Henry Beston served as an ambulance driver in World War I. “He saw some awful stuff -- wholesale slaughter and just that indifference to human pain and suffering.”

From Mary Richmond, Cape Cod Art and Nature: “In our continual effort to subdue nature we have succeeded in squelching almost every bit of wildness that once was here on Cape Cod.”
