It was a gorgeous morning for a hike at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. The skies were blue and there wasn’t a ripple on the water. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
We could see several Great Egrets by the little pond on the salt marsh searching for their next meal. 
I loved the ripples on the water in the last photo as the wind started to pick up. Such pretty reflections of these majestic birds!
The Money Plants, also known as Annual Honesty or Silver Dollar plants, are growing all over Cape Cod and are so pretty by the side of the road. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Money Plants are grown for their silvery white, flattened, disc-like seed pods which are spectacular and look just like coins dangling in the wind. But, I think the flowers are pretty special too.
A pretty May flower to wish everyone a Happy Mother’s Day. May you find a bit of relaxation time to go outside and see a beautiful flower in nature!
It was a chilly day and Phil and I were sitting inside when we both saw this flash fly across our yard. It looked like a pretty big bird. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
We were lucky when he landed on the branch right outside our window. I was able to get my camera and get a few photos before he flew away… without getting lunch!
