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!

”Mythological Origin: The flower is associated with the Greek myth of Narcissus, who, in some versions, died from heartbreak or drowned while looking at his reflection in a pool. The white flower that grew there is said to have a nodding head, mimicking his gaze into the water.”

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!
