This Great Blue Heron was fishing for lunch the other day as we walked by on the boardwalk between Doane Rock Trail and Coast Guard Beach. (Click on blog link for other photo.) You can see he has already caught his lunch in the first photograph, while in the 2nd photograph he is trying to catch his meal.
What a great hike! You never know what you will see. There is always something going on by Nauset Marsh. Make sure you look on both sides of the bridge as you walk by. You might even see a Great Blue Heron catching his lunch!.
We took a hike around Flax Pond after lunch one day last week where there are many benches by the water to just sit and relax… which is what I did. Phil took this photograph from behind.
I loved it! The sun looks magical and those beautiful reflections on the water. What do you think?
It was another cold and windy day so we headed inland over to Nickerson State Park. We had never hiked the Flax Pond Loop Trail so we thought we’d give it a “go.” (Click on blog link to see other photos.)
What a beautiful hike! Most of the trail is within a few feet of the pond which makes it so pretty and great for taking photographs. We started out on the shady side which was a bit brisk to start but ended on the sunny side which was much warmer.
It was a sunny day so you can see all the beautiful reflections in the pond as you hike around. There are also a lot of beaches for swimming, picnic tables for picnicking and benches for sitting. We thought about how much fun families and especially the kids would have during the summer months.
Just beautiful, don’t you think? Have you ever been to Nickerson State Park in the summer?
If you hike the White Cedar Swamp Trail in Wellfleet and then take the ramp up to the overlook where the old Marconi Wireless Station used to be, this is what you will see. Pretty spectacular, don’t you think? (Click on blog link for other photograph.)
I took the two photographs with my new iPhone 12 Pro and used the two settings. I couldn’t decide which one I liked better. What do you think?
