We picked up a copy of the Orleans Hiking Trails pamphlet at the Town Hall and have had fun trying the different trails. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
The Mill Pond Valley Trail is a loop trail that is very pretty and very diverse. At the beginning of the hilly trail, the abundant English Ivy grows right up the trunks of the trees.
There are also many markers that help you identify the different plants along the trail.
When you get to the marsh, you are treated to beautiful views of the salt marsh, as well as Little Mill Pond where you might see some shore birds.
If you walk out to “the rock” at Rock Harbor during low tide, it looks pretty big. If you stand behind the jetty and take a photograph looking out at “the rock,” it doesn’t look so big. Perspective is amazing!
I love beach fences… there are so many of them on Cape Cod and they are each so unique. We saw this one and thought it made such a pretty photograph. What do you think? Do you know where it is located?
Every year, a wild Daffodil blooms in our woods. I see a bit of yellow out there in the leaves so I know it must be blooming. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I remember the first time I saw when we built our house. It was so cool to see this lone Daffodil blooming out in the middle of the woods! Do you have any random wildflowers in your yard?
Happy Easter to you all. May you see something special and colorful out in nature today!
Those of us who are fortunate to live here on the Cape full-time relish those quiet walks on the beach and the solitude of being the only footprints in the sand.
Pretty soon, Coast Guard Beach will be full of activity. But, until then…. Enjoy this gorgeous view!
