Cabbage White Butterflies On Cape Cod.
118 viewsI’m sure you’ve seen plenty of Cabbage White butterflies here on Cape Cod. They seem to be everywhere. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I never knew the difference between the male and female until I did a bit of research. The female has 2 black spots on her wings, while the male has only one spot. Hmmmm… I would’ve thought it was the opposite!

The CG36500 is back at Rock Harbor and ready for people to see. It has quite the story of rescue:
“The CG 36500 is a historic 36-foot U.S. Coast Guard motor lifeboat famous for its role in the 1952 rescue of the SS Pendleton crew, is a story detailed in The Finest Hours. Built in 1946, this rugged, self-righting wooden vessel is known for its heavy construction, including a bronze keel, designed to withstand severe conditions, and is now a restored, operational museum boat maintained by the Orleans Historical Society in Massachusetts.”
Baby Bluebirds Getting Fed On Cape Cod.
187 viewsWe have so many little Bluebird fledglings in our yard and they all seems to be hungry at the same time. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
This little guy was getting fed by both mom and dad. They would take turns getting some mealworms or sunflower seeds to appease his appetite. I love this time of year when all the fledglings are about. The are so cute!
Beautiful Shell Flag On Cape Cod.
224 viewsThis American flag of painted clam shells was created in 1976 during the Bi-Centennial year by Violet Neidel and is so iconic of Cape Cod and its beaches. Every year it is freshly painted and looks so nice on the road to First Encounter Beach. This year a couple of rows of gold clam shells were added to celebrate its 50th birthday, also our country’s 250th birthday year.
Violet took care of this shell flag for its first 4 years. Her son, Bill Neidel, has maintained it ever since. Thank you for maintaining this beautiful flag over the years. I’m sure it has brought a smile to many people!
