As soon as I got out of my car, this chatty Catbird was trying to get my attention. He was just yacking away, making so much noise.
it wasn’t until he alighted on this branch way up high in the tree, that I got my camera out and starting clicking. What a perfect photo op. Thank you, Mr. Catbird! You made my day!

Pretty Blue Spring Azure Butterfly At Fort Hill On Cape Cod
356 viewsWe saw this pretty blue Spring Azure Butterfly while hiking at Fort Hill the other day. It was really difficult to get a photograph of it with its wings open as it was flitting everywhere and very close to the ground. But finally it alighted on a green leaf.
When it closed up its wings, it looks like a totally different butterfly aa you can see when it was on the ground.
The Spring Azure is a small butterfly with its wingspan 3/4″ to 1 1/4″. Have you ever seen one? They seem to be everywhere in the trails lately.
Beautiful Yellow Cypress Spurge Wildflowers Are Blooming On Cape Cod But…
347 viewsThe yellow Cypress Spurge wildflowers are so pretty growing in the meadows of Fort Hill. It almost looks like a soft blanket on the landscape. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
As pretty as they are, the “Cypress Spurge has a milky sap that is toxic and causes skin irritation, blisters, and digestive issues if ingested, making it harmful to livestock and humans.” So, beware and stay away!

Beautiful Egret Reflections At The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary On Cape Cod.
407 viewsIt was a gorgeous morning for a hike at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. The skies were blue and there wasn’t a ripple on the water. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
We could see several Great Egrets by the little pond on the salt marsh searching for their next meal. 
I loved the ripples on the water in the last photo as the wind started to pick up. Such pretty reflections of these majestic birds!

Hiking The Silver Spring Loop Trail At The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary On Cape Cod.
450 viewsThe Silver Spring Loop Trail at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary is one of our favorite hikes. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
There is so much diversity along the trail as you hike along the spring where you can see turtles and water birds while you’re listening to all of the chatter from birds in the trees. There are several places to rest or just “absorb.”
Going over the wooden bridge, there is usually a beautiful reflection in the water while the banks of the spring are garnered in many different types of wildflowers in season.
There is so much to see and it changes every tine we go there. We never know what the adventure will be!
