This was such a beautiful morning for a bike ride. It was a bit early to see the sunrise over the salt marsh, but just perfect looking at it through the trees on the bike path.
So pretty, don’t you think?

Nauset Marsh Trail On Cape Cod.
Beautiful Halloween Pennant Dragonfly On Cape Cod!
We were hiking along the Nauset Marsh Trail when we saw this flicker of something shining on one of the tall reeds by the side of the trail. It looked like a dragonfly so we clicked away. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
It is a Halloween Pennant Dragonfly which is a brightly colored dragonfly that lives in the eastern United States. It gets its name from its orange colored wings which have dark brown bands marking them. It is often seen perched on tips of vegetation near the edges of a waterway, which is exactly where we saw it.
What an treat and a first for us! Have you ever seen a Halloween Pennant Dragonfly?
Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod Is Always Beautiful!
Putnam Farm: A Community Garden In Orleans On Cape Cod.
Have you ever walked through the community gardens in Orleans? These 14 acres were acquired by the town of Orleans in 2011. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Putnam Farm is permanently protected open space dedicated to agriculture, passive recreation and educational programs.
It is a pretty stroll through the gardens and trails, especially this time of year when everything is in bloom.
