Snowdrops, One Of First Wildflowers Of The Season On Cape Cod.

It’s always a treat to see that first wildflower in the early spring. This year it is the Snowdrop which I saw growing on a steep hillside under a cover of trees. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

These little white flowers bloom from January to March, often appearing like a  ‘white blanket’ on the hillside. “They look like tiny drops of milk gently hanging from a stem. When these flowers fall on the ground and are scattered everywhere, they often resemble tiny snowflakes that appear to have blanketed the ground.”

Have you ever seen a Snowdrop? So delicate and so pretty…

Happy First Day Of Spring On Cape Cod!

Happy first day of Spring!  Pretty soon it will be warm enough for those much-treasured outdoor picnics.

This is one of our favorite picnic spots overlooking Nauset Marsh on one side and Coast Guard Beach on the other.

It doesn’t get much prettier!

Even A Foggy Morning Is Still Beautiful On Cape Cod.

We woke up yesterday morning expecting beautiful sunshine but instead saw dense fog and no sun. Where did that come from? (Click on blog link for other photo.)

We decided to take a drive to Fort Hill to see what it looked like there. It was still very foggy and a bit eerie but also very interesting.  It looked like all along the shores of Nauset Marsh that someone had turned the sprinklers on. It was really cool. Can you see the water shooting out?

We sat there for quite a while taking photographs as the fog rolled in and out. It actually turned out to be a lot of fun watching the minute-by-minute changing landscape.

Beautiful Mockingbird At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.

There are lots of Mockingbirds at Fort Hill this season and they sure do love to pose to have their picture taken! This guy sat on top of the branch near the beginning of the trail for quite a while as we clicked away. So many poses…

Gorgeous bird, don’t you think? Have you seen any Mockingbirds this year?
