Notice the new windmill on the right and how it ruined the once beautiful waterfront skyline.Below are scenes from Saturday, June 18th.

I think a fresh coat of paint and this place would sell for around 12 million. Third Point, Coatue.

BUCK OF THE WEEK:
Recently, I set up one of my trail cams overlooking a tiny teaberry field. Deer love teaberry and feed on it heavily year-round. This little buck in velvet stopped by the teaberry field every day for a week to feed-

It looks so much more peaceful there! Is there alot of Rugosa there?
Yes, it is very peaceful out on Coatue. It's usually just me and a seagull. Perfect! There is a lot of Rosa Rugosa there. And there is Coatue Cactus too!! I will post a picture when it is in full bloom soon.
The yellow flower is Horned Poppy and, of course it's from Europe and taken over the beach! :)
Great photos!
Thanks, Jen! I've been wondering for years what those flowers were.
Do you know anything about the bones of the wreck east of Coatue Point? I think its in the bird nesting area.Chances are its in Wayman Coffin's Tuckanut book or Paul Morris' Maritime Nantucket.
Not sure what that wreck is. I saw it again last winter when I was lurking around there. It looks as though it's a pretty big wreck. Have you noticed the big electric cable running along the beach there and out to the green light at the end of the east jetty?
Wonderful series, Martie. We are going to explore Coatue soon. (I thought I commented on this post but I guess it didn't go through).
Your deer pics are some of your best yet. I love the last one - what a ham!

Thank you, Sharon. I may see you on Coatue one of these days! Yeah, that buck is cool. I'm documenting his antler development this summer using my trail cams. The antlers grow an inch per day!
