The Coast Guard Station at Coast Guard Beach is always a sight to behold. I’m sure many of the old rescue stories are still being told today!

Arey’s Pond On Cape Cod.
Arey’s Pond is so pretty that we stopped for a couple of photos on the way to the boatyard. I loved the dinghy on the side of the pond at with all of the sailboats in the background. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
This 2nd photo was a pano that Phil took of Arey’s Pond from the same place that I took mine. Pretty cool, don’t you think?
Beautiful Yellow Tansy Wildflowers At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.
Tansy is a flowering plant with small, round, yellow button-like shaped flowers that grow in clusters on top of a long stem. They are native to Europe and Asia but are now found in North America. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Tansy wildflowers have a long history of medicinal uses which are very interesting to read about, as well as use as an insect repellent.
Have you ever seen a Tansy wildflower? I saw these at the lower parking lot at Fort Hill.
Noisy Osprey In Our Tree On Cape Cod.
I was outside in the yard when I heard an Osprey chirping loud and clear. He went on for quite a while. He was so loud that I thought, “He must be pretty near,” so I looked up. There, in a tree right above me, was this Osprey chirping away. There was another Osprey a few trees away which I could hear chirping back. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
In the 2nd photograph, I think he finally saw me. Love those yellow eyes!
Perfect Photo Op At Arey’s Pond On Cape Cod.
Arey’s Pond in Orleans is a picturesque little pond that houses many sailboats on Cape Cod. It is easy access to the river and out to Little Pleasant Bay and Big Pleasant Bay.
We love to stop by Arey’s Pond Boat Yard and just look… their signature Catboat is just beautiful, as many of them are tied up at the dock or moored out in Arey’s Pond.
As we were leaving, I turned around to get one last photograph. I thought the colors and the composition were just beautiful. What do you think?
