The hike around Little Cliff Pond has so much diversity. You pass by Cliff Pond, which is pretty spectacular, where you can see people enjoying swimming, fishing, boating, or just enjoying their day at the beach. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
From there, you hike up and around Little Cliff Pond where you have a view of the pond almost the entire way. It is so pretty and quiet hiking through the woods.
Have you ever hiked at Nickerson State Park?
I was out for an early hike at Fort Hill when I saw this White-tailed Deer on the boardwalk munching away. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
She looked at me and I told her it was a beautiful day to be on the trail. She just continued eating away as I walked by. She wasn’t bothered by me at all.
Friday morning was a gorgeous morning for the Eastham Painters Guild to gather at Fort Hill to paint those much anticipated beautiful Lupine wildflowers which everyone looks forward to seeing this time of year, (Click on blog link for other photos.)
The first to arrive and set up were Nancy and Renee who were so friendly as they told me all about the Eastham Painters Guild. It was fun to watch them sketch out their landscapes and then check back an hour later. You can see what they can create in just an hour!
As I was leaving, I could see many of the other painters just arriving. “The Eastham Painters Guild is comprised of artists from Eastham and surrounding Cape Cod communities. All of our member artists are juried into the Guild and only sell original paintings in a variety of media, including oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor and encaustic. Many of our members have studied with nationally recognized artists and show in juried exhibits and in galleries throughout the Cape and beyond.”
The 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!
