Gorgeous Fall Day On The Trails At Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary On Cape Cod

It was a spectacular fall day at Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. Each trail had incredible views and the fall colors were vibrant!

I took this photograph on the bridge on Silver Springs Trail overlooking the pond. Love that reflection in the water!

Gorgeous, don’t you think?

 

 

Slow Turtle Crossing At The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary On Cape Cod

As you drive into the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary on Cape Cod, you see a “Slow Turtle Crossing” sign. There are a lot of turtles at the sanctuary and the staff and volunteers do an incredible job helping the Terrapins during the off-season.

These two turtles were lazing in the sun on a log on Silver Springs Pond.

 

Cabbage White Butterflies At Nauset Marsh In Eastham On Cape Cod

There are still plenty of Cabbage White butterflies flitting about this fall on Cape Cod, especially near the marshes.

We saw these two butterflies at Nauset Marsh the other day. I wasn’t sure why one had 1 spot and the other had 2 spots, only to learn later that the female has 2 spots.

They loved the yellow wildflowers growing in the marsh.
