There are so many docks on Cape Cod with each one unique to itself. This one looks like it is ready for those boats to launch at Meeting House Pond and meander down the river to Little Pleasant Bay and enjoy a day out on the water.
“Skaket Beach is situated on the bay side of Cape Cod and is known for its soft white sand and warm waters. It’s also a great option for families with shallow waters for them to play in. During low tide, the exposed tidal flats delight young explorers. It’s also known as a great place to watch a Cape Cod sunset.”
I loved this photograph with the iconic rock way out on the flats. What a gorgeous sky!
I have only seen a Killdeer a couple of times on Cape Cod and not in the past couple of years. And then the other morning, there were two Killdeer foraging in the grass at Fort Hill. What treat!
We used to see so many Killdeer when we lived in Connecticut. Two of them would annually nest on the median in the parking lot of the school where I taught. They would scurry around between all of the cars but they loved that grassy median.
The Killdeer gets its name from its shrill, two-syllable call, which is often heard, “Kill-deer! Kill-deer!” They are quite identifiable by the patches of white and black on the head, and two black bands across the breast.
Have you ever seen a Killdeer? What a beautiful bird!
Yesterday morning couldn’t have been nicer for a long hike at Fort Hill. I just loved this pastoral view of the landscape looking up the hill from the trail.
Beautiful, don’t you think? Love that sky!
