You never know what you will see when you’re at Kent Point in Orleans. Today we were treated to this gorgeous Great Blue Heron fishing among the tall grass by the bay. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
As it flew away, Phil and I each got one photograph of it flying… his is solo in the sky where mine is with the sailboat in the background.
You can still see the beautiful deep blue Chicory wildflowers blooming along the roads, trails and out in the meadows. I took this photograph at Fort Hill.
A couple of interesting facts: The stemless flowers grow right on the stalk and each flower lasts only one day. I love the delicate stamen and pistils in the center.
Chicory blooms through October so you still have time to see it.
The Little Cliff Pond Trail at Nickerson State Park is a wonderful hike for the whole family. There is a little bit of everything! I love these two views from the trail around Little Cliff Pond. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
What do you think? Have you ever hiked this trail?
I took three photographs of Race Point from Herring Cove Beach the other day and then edited them a little differently. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
Wondering which one you like best?
