Shifting Sands

My husband and I spent a heavenly week on the coast in Cape Cod's National Seashore. We discovered this place by accident several years ago, and continue our annual return each Spring before school is out for summer.

We think that the ocean is timeless at times; but, the sands on Cape Cod are always changing, along with the shoreline. I remember coming to this beach in my late teens and early twenties when the dunes gradually led you to the shore. Due to the destructive winds and storms of the Atlantic, these gradual dune drops have been changed into stark 30 foot cliffs of fragile dune sand, and 50 feet of the shoreline has returned to the sea. But, there's still beauty in the light, the tides, the wildlife.

You can't leave without a smile.

Celebrate the changes, and rejoice in the here-and-now!
