Pretty Yellow Wildflower On Cape Cod.

I’ve seen this small, yellow wildflower on the side of the roads and also by the parking lot at Coast Guard Beach, but have been unable to identify it. The flowers are about 1/2 inch and the plant is about a foot high.

Does anyone know what kind of wildflower this is?

Trail Through The Dunes At Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.

There are a couple of trails through the dunes at Coast Guard Beach where you can walk to the salt marsh and follow it out to Nauset Spit and then to the ocean. It is a really pretty walk. We frequently do it in reverse… we will walk down the beach to Nauset Spit and then pick up the trail by the salt marsh on the way back. There is always something new to see.

I loved the clouds in this photograph. What do you think?
