Yellow Clouded Sulphur Butterfly In Eastham On Cape Cod

I’ve only seen 2 types of butterflies since we arrived here on Cape Cod a month ago…. a white one and this pretty yellow Clouded Sulphur butterfly.

It was the same species that I saw a lot of in Colorado.

So pretty, don’t you think?  Love his eye!

We Saw Our First Red Fox At The Audubon Sanctuary In Wellfleet On Cape Cod

We had our first sighting of a Red Fox at the Audubon Sanctuary in Wellfleet on Cape Cod the other day. He was walking through the woods and then lay down for a nap.

It was pretty cool as we had never seen one here before.

Have you ever seen a Red Fox? Look at that bushy tail!

Update On Manny From My Enjoy Estes Park Blog

Manny1[1]

Those of you who have followed my Enjoy Estes Park Blog for years know “Manny,” my good friend from back east. He loved reading my Blog and commented eloquently every day.

And then he got sick and was in the hospital for a while last spring. He has since moved to a new assisted living home in Massachusetts.

I spoke to him a couple of days ago and he had a hard time remembering me but… as soon as I mentioned my Dad and how we used to drive up and take him out to lunch, he remembered my Dad and me! He loved my Dad and they had a great time together. He was thrilled that we have moved to Cape Cod because that is where we met him about 18 years ago, at the  Audubon Bird Sanctuary in Wellfleet.

So, Manny is doing well. He is a bit forgetful at times and can’t quite master the computer like he used to but… he lives only 10 minutes away from my daughter, so I know I will see him again! It was so great to get back in touch with him. He truly is a special person.

This is the photograph I took one year ago when my Dad and I were out to lunch with him.

White Queen Anne’s Lace Wildflower Is Pretty As It Blooms And As It Goes By On Cape Cod

There were fields and fields of Queen Anne’s Lace wildflowers everywhere as we went for a hike at Fort Hill in Eastham on Cape Cod. They are such a pretty and delicate white wildflower.

And then, as they go by, they shrivel up and turn almost inside out.
