Unknown Mami sponsors Sundays in My City. From what I understand, you take pictures of your town and put them into a post on Sundays. I thought I would give it a try, since um HELLO, Cape Cod is beautiful.
Last Sunday, I went for a walk on the beach. Being a predominantly summer area, lots of houses are boarded up for the winter.
This is an egg sac for conchs. (Don't pronounce the ch, pronounce it k)
This is part of a conch shell.

This is part of a conch shell.
The imprint on the left is a seagull foot print. The purple part on the shell is called wampum. Back in the day, the Native Americans used that as money. 
This is a (dead) baby horseshoe crab. They are very prehistoric in nature.
So there you have it, Sunday at Forest Beach! Check it out!

Oh my gosh. This is SO beautiful! I love your pictures of the beach. It makes me miss it like CRAZY crazy much! We have a zillion inches of snow right now!
Wow - so beautiful.... thanks for sharing a look at Cape Cod. We found a small section of conch egg sac once. It was no more than 1 inch long & it had lots of tiny little shells.
Ooh, I wanna see more more more!!!!!!!!
It drives me insane when people pronounce conch with the ch sound. Oy!
I haven't seen a horseshoe crab since my days in NY. I miss the ugly suckers!
Justine :o )
you can tell it's cold there but seeing the water and sand makes me believe it's almost summer time. Have a wonderful Sunday!
I love the photos. I live in Santa Barbara so the ocean is right here. Your sea shells photos are really great.
Great photos! And thanks for telling me what they were, otherwise I would have been guessing!
Oh I love images of the beach and you live in a lovely part of the U.S. :)

Beautiful pics! I love the beach. :)
I really enjoyed this and felt like I was with you.
Beautiful pictures. Thank you. Sundays in My City really take me places.
Thank you for the pronunciation guide. It's tough, but I think the third photo is my favorite.
Makes me miss Cape Cod (and you) even more -- awesome shots!!!
Very interesting. Thank you for the pronunciation lesson-I needed it!
love these too...did you photograph your header. it's awesome!
I love the pictures. I grew up in Harwich for 18 years and this really reminds me of home :) PS I'm sure you know this but did you know Horseshoe crabs are more closely related to spiders than they are to crabs??? kinda cool huh?
