We were taking a hike around Flax Pond in Nickerson State Park and saw this large glacial rock on the side of the trail. It is split in two parts…maybe from water and ice? Maybe during the Ice Age?
It was pretty cool. What do you think?

Rock Harbor On Cape Cod In Black And White.
70 viewsI loved this black and white photograph that Phil took of Rock Harbor early one morning last week. It looks like a “retro” photo of the area. You can see all the beach grass that washed up on the dock from the high tides.

Fort Hill On Cape Cod Is Awesome Any Time Of The Year!
92 views
Fort Hill, part of the National Seashore, is a wonderful place to go… any time of the year. You can hike or walk or sit on the bench and enjoy those spectacular views of Nauset Marsh.
You can take a walk on the boardwalk across Red Maple Swamp down to Hemenway Landing and see the boats going in or out.
Fort Hill is always a special place… any time of the year.
Update On The Hermit Thrush At Our Home On Cape Cod.
124 viewsI posted a blog about this Hermit Thrush that I saw in our yard a couple of weeks ago. Well, it kept hanging out in our backyard and was trying desperately to get the mealworms from the Bluebird feeder. I tried raising the cover of the Bluebird feeder, but it was still too big to get at them.
I remembered a glass jelly feeder that we had for the Baltimore Orioles that I thought might be just perfect. I filled it with mealworms and have had a faithful visitor every day since then.
It’s so much fun to see him every day, many times a day, and know that he really likes our yard… and our food!
(Did you see the”surprise” bird in the tree in the background? It showed up just as I was taking the photograph. It looks like a Song Sparrow.)
Nauset Marsh Overlook From Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.
133 viewsThe clouds were just beautiful at the overlook of Nauset Marsh from the parking lot at Coast Guard Beach. So peaceful and serene.
Perfect place to stop, sit down and relax and and enjoy these gorgeous views. Or… bring a picnic!
Make Your Own Trails On The AllTrails App On Cape Cod Or Anywhere.
127 viewsWe’ve had so much fun with the AllTrails App. At first we followed many of the trails in our area and then we decided to try and make some of our own. (Click on blog for full photo.)
On the AllTrails App you can record a hike, name it, describe it, add photos and rate it. It has really been a lot of fun and very exciting! This hike we recorded at Nickerson State Park and named it Two Pond Roundabout. You can see at the bottom the distance, elevation gain and time.
This photograph was one of the little ponds we saw on our adventure. Such pretty reflections.
