The skies were magnificent as we hiked the Salt Pond Trail, also known as Nauset Marsh Trail, the other day. I took a horizontal photograph and thought that it looked pretty. The sky and clouds were spectacular. And then I took a vertical one. Wow!
What do you think?
We were taking a hike at Fort Hill last fall when we passed a group of middle school student on a field trip. Their guide was telling them about the salt marsh and that there are 3 plants that make up a salt marsh.
I thought to myself, “I never knew that. I’ll have to look that up when I get home.” I did some research and I think they are herbs, grasses and low shrubs. Does anyone know if this is correct? There are many, many different varieties of each of these plants.
This is a photograph of Glasswort or Pickleweed. You can see it along the side of the trail on the salt marsh at Fort Hill.
There were some really cool-looking trees on Beech Forest Trail in Provincetown. They reminded me of Colorado where you frequently see trees on the slopes of the the mountains which have curved trunks due to the snow and ice pushing it. They called them “snow knees.” Cute, don’t you think?
I wonder what caused these tree trunks to bend so much…
I took this tree with different filters. What do you think?
We were so surprised to see this huge grove of Bamboo trees on the trail around Baker’s Pond in Orleans. It just didn’t fit in with the ambiance of the area.
I wonder how it got there? Who planted it? I’ve seen other groves of Bamboo trees around the area too. I wonder if people use it as a hedge as it’s extremely dense.
Any thoughts?
This photograph of the boardwalk on the Red Maple Swamp Trail at Fort Hill says it all. The leaves are have fallen and winter is coming.
I loved this photograph in black and white. What do you think?
The views are so pretty as you hike the Beech Forest Trail in Provincetown. I loved this reflection on the pond a couple of weeks ago when the leaves were so vibrant.
