We were taking a walk on the trail at Lieutenant Island in Wellfleet on Cape Cod when I saw this Green Crab in the sand.
The closer I got, the fiercer he looked!

Slow Turtle Crossing At The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary On Cape Cod
As you drive into the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary on Cape Cod, you see a “Slow Turtle Crossing” sign. There are a lot of turtles at the sanctuary and the staff and volunteers do an incredible job helping the Terrapins during the off-season.
These two turtles were lazing in the sun on a log on Silver Springs Pond.

Black And Orange Box Turtle In Eastham on Cape Cod
Did you know that Box Turtles are exclusively North American and occupy the eastern United States? They have a hinged lower shell that can almost completely close up. Did you know that the Box Turtle burrows almost 2 feet down in the earth in October or November until April?
I didn’t know any of these fact until I looked them up. Pretty cool.
I happened to see this colorful little guy crossing the road right in front of my new home. Welcome, little Box Turtle!
From bugling Bull Elk to Box Turtles… new adventures!
