Just a few short weeks ago the beaches were bustling at Nickerson State Park. Now the lifeguard chairs are waiting until next summer for all of the activities to resume.
Perfect time to go for a nice hike around Cliff Pond…

Waiting For Lunch At The Chatham Fish Pier On Cape Cod.
Beauty And The Beast On Cape Cod.
This was such a lovely setting at Kent Point the other day with the bright yellow Goldenrod wildflowers and bright red leaves against the fallen log. However, those pretty bright red leaves are actually poison ivy.
Did you know that you can get poison ivy any time of the year? If you touch the vines in the winter you could get a nice rash.
I was driving by the salt marsh the other day and saw a lady walking through the poison ivy to get down to the salt marsh. Oh no! I wonder how she is feeling today… she went through quite a bit of it.
Remember the old saying, “Leaves of three, let them be!”
Classic Cape Cod Beach Fence.
The Deep Purple Pokeweed Are Still Blooming On Cape Cod.
You can still see Pokeweed growing all over the place on the Cape. It’s quite amazing to watch them grow from spring to fall. The first photograph shows what it looks like now with its deep purple berries. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
The 2nd photograph shows what the pretty little white flowers look like in the summer. And the last photo shows the green berries before they start to look like deep purple grapes in the fall.
Be aware that eating the berries can make you sick. Watch out for children as sometimes they mistake these berries for grapes. You can tell the difference because Pokeweed has red stems while grapes have woody stems.
