It’s such a treat to see some vibrant color on the landscape this time of the year. These Forbes’ Glories-on-the Snow were blooming at the Wellfleet Wildlife Sanctuary and they were exquisite!
These wildflowers are “star-shaped, upward-facing, pale blue, or pink/white flowers with white centers.” Have you ever seen them?

New Steps At Kent’s Point On Cape Cod.
302 viewsThere have been so many new renovations at Kent’s Point, it’s hard to count them all. The last time we were there we noticed these new steps leading up from the beach to the trail. What a great addition, as it’s always been a huge step to maneuver to get up there. Thanks to all who have helped with these wonderful renovations! You certainly are enhancing these trails!
Red-Bellied Woodpecker At The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary On Cape Cod.
278 viewsYesterday was just a beautiful day for a hike at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. The temperatures were in the 50s and the sun was shining brightly.
As we started out on the Silver Spring Loop Trail, we were treated to the sound of a Red-bellied Woodpecker nearby. It has such a distinct call and is easy to identify.
Looking way high up in the tree, we could see this striking bird in its nesting cavity… perhaps eggs have been laid? Have you ever seen a Red-bellied Woodpecker?

Lots Of Clean-Up At Nickerson State Park On Cape Cod.
310 viewsWe hadn’t taken a hike at Nickerson State Park in Brewster in a few months, so we were anxious to get back out there. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
We had heard that there were a lot of trees down by the ponds, so we stayed away from the water. We saw quite a few trees down, but totally cleaned up with lots of smaller branches everywhere.
You can see where these 3 trees, next to each other, snapped off at the same height. Amazingly, they went the other way and didn’t hit the trail. Thank you for the incredible clean-up at Nickerson State Park. We had no trouble navigating the trail!
