I loved this reflection of the boats at Rock Harbor early the other morning. It was about 6:00 am and low tide so the boats couldn’t go out yet. There was no one else around… perfect!
So pretty, don’t you think?

If You’re On Cape Cod, Look For The Hydrangeas!
85 viewsHydrangeas seem to be “the” Cape Cod flower. They grow beautifully here and are certainly abundant! When we were building our home a few years ago, the two staples that I wanted for our “Cape Cod garden” were Hydrangeas and Daisies.
Depending on the acidity in the soil, they can be shades of blue or purple.

Great Blue Heron At Boat Meadow Creek On Cape Cod.
98 views
We were driving home the other night when I saw this beautiful Great Blue Heron out of the corner of my eye. He was standing on the banks of the salt marsh looking for dinner. I quickly drove home and got my camera. Luckily, he was still there a few minutes later.
The Great Blue Heron is my favorite bird…. so beautiful and elegant and regal. It always “makes my day” when I see “Blue” flying up in the sky…or sitting by the creek waiting for dinner.
Sunfish Waiting For The Tide To Come In At Wellfleet Harbor On Cape Cod.
93 viewsThis Sunfish is ready and waiting for the tide to come in a bit so it can go for a sail at Wellfleet Harbor. I loved the vibrant colors of the sail against the deep blue water and the interesting cloud formations in the sky.

Two Cabbage White Butterflies On Cape Cod.
93 views
There is always an abundance of Cabbage White butterflies flitting about on Cape Cod, but I don’t often get two in the same frame. They are usually too busy flying about to land on anything for very long.
Cabbage White butterflies have charcoal wingtips. The females have 2 FW spots while the males have just one. Have you ever seen a Cabbage White? Pretty, don’t you think?
Gorgeous Orange Trumpet-Creeper Wildflowers On Cape Cod!
123 viewsThe Trumpet-Creeper wildflowers are blooming on Cape Cod and they are spectacular! The 2″ bright reddish-orange tubular-shaped flowers grow on a woody vine that can climb to 12 feet tall. They are native to this area and bloom from July to September. (Click blog link for other photos.)
The first photo is of the cluster of flowers. The 2nd photograph shows how they grow in clusters and the 3rd photograph shows how the vine grows. This one was only about 8 feet tall but I’m sure will grow taller.
Have you ever seen Trumpet-Creeper wildflowers?
