Tansy is a flowering plant with small, round, yellow button-like shaped flowers that grow in clusters on top of a long stem. They are native to Europe and Asia but are now found in North America. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Tansy wildflowers have a long history of medicinal uses which are very interesting to read about, as well as use as an insect repellent.
Have you ever seen a Tansy wildflower? I saw these at the lower parking lot at Fort Hill.
I was outside in the yard when I heard an Osprey chirping loud and clear. He went on for quite a while. He was so loud that I thought, “He must be pretty near,” so I looked up. There, in a tree right above me, was this Osprey chirping away. There was another Osprey a few trees away which I could hear chirping back. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
In the 2nd photograph, I think he finally saw me. Love those yellow eyes!
Arey’s Pond in Orleans is a picturesque little pond that houses many sailboats on Cape Cod. It is easy access to the river and out to Little Pleasant Bay and Big Pleasant Bay.
We love to stop by Arey’s Pond Boat Yard and just look… their signature Catboat is just beautiful, as many of them are tied up at the dock or moored out in Arey’s Pond.
As we were leaving, I turned around to get one last photograph. I thought the colors and the composition were just beautiful. What do you think?
The Bluebirds look like they’ve had their 2nd clutch and the babies are starting to grow up. I took these photos a couple of weeks ago as mom was still feeding them. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
They are just way too cute!
I loved this last photo of this little Bluebird chick on our deck. So sweet…
