The Queen Anne’s Lace is blooming everywhere on Cape Cod. It is such a beautiful, delicate wildflower which reminds me of the doilies that my grandmother used to crochet for her tables.
Queen Anne’s Lace is made up of many tiny flowers that form a lacy flat-topped head. They grow from July through September, so you still have plenty of time to see them.
These two kayakers looked so content paddling on the creek in the salt marsh. It was a beautiful day and they were taking their time to enjoy the scenery and “smell the roses.”
I love all of the Egrets on Cape Cod, especially the Snowy Egret with its black legs and bright yellow feet! This guy was just waiting for a meal at the salt marsh.
I loved this photograph of the Chicory wildflower along the side of the road by the salt marsh Look at those stamen and pistils. Just beautiful, don’t you think?
I was biking across the salt marsh about 6:30 in the morning when I stopped to take a photograph of the sun’s reflection on the creek. It was so pretty. It looked like a cloudy day with the sun breaking through just a bit. (Click on the blog link to see other photo.)
But wait! I turned around and took another photograph of the salt marsh looking out toward Cape Cod Bay. What a different photograph! The blue skies are sunny with beautiful clouds.
Same day, same place, same time, different direction. Pretty cool, don’t you think?
