This Least Tern was enjoying his fish on Coast Guard Beach. It’s so much fun watching all of the birds spend their summers on the beaches of Cape Cod.

Great Biking On Cape Cod!
Love The Huge Stairway To Marconi Beach In Wellfleet On Cape Cod.
Indian Pipe, A Plant With No Chlorophyll, Is Blooming On Cape Cod.
Indian Pipe wildflowers have no chlorophyll so they get their nutrients from decaying matter. They have whitish, waxy scaly stalks with nodding, waxy 1″ bell-shaped flowers. They grow solo or in clumps and only from 4″-10″ tall. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
They bloom from July to September in the woods, so if you’re out on a hike in the woods, maybe you will see one. Just look for the white stalks sticking out of the ground!
Very Talented Plein Air Painters On Cape Cod.
It is always a treat to see the plein air painters creating their beautiful works of art. We used to see them a lot in Colorado and it is so nice to see them painting here on Cape Cod too. Each artist’s perspective and style is so different, even though they are usually near each other while painting.
We saw a plein air artist at Boat Meadow Beach the other morning while we were having a picnic breakfast. We watched her for quite a quite and were fascinated by her painting. It looked like she was splashing color on her canvas and then stroking it in… such talent! She was mesmerizing, as you can see by her beautiful depiction of Boat Meadow Beach at low tide.
We finally went outside to talk with her and ask her about her painting. Boat Meadow is her favorite beach to paint on the bay side and she loves all of the variety at Fort Hill.
So nice to chat with you, Joan, and learn a little bit about you and your craft.
