Phil and I were out scouting different launch sites for kayaking around the Pleasant Bay area when we came across this rock out in the water. Hmmm… What was that on the rock? It was way too early for the Cormorants to be back. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
It wasn’t until I got my binoculars out that I saw that they were seals! Wow! And they were pretty far into Little Pleasant Bay and not very far from shore. I have never seen seals there before, especially in the winter! I did not even know that they were around in the winter. They did appear to be enjoying the sunny day lounging on the rock.
There are many different trails that you can hike at Fort Hill… through the woods, across the boardwalk, in the meadows and more. I love this hike along Nauset Marsh with Coast Guard Station in the background.
We were taking a hike by the Salt Pond on Nauset Marsh Trail one morning last week when the sun peaked out from behind the clouds. It was glorious.
I went to show Phil my photograph and he remarked, “Oh, you took it in black and white.” I told him that I didn’t take it in black and white, those were the colors you could see when the sun came out.
Pretty cool, don’t you think? It almost looks heavenly…
These Bluebirds were certainly enjoying a bath in our heated birdbath the other day. They’re even yacking at each other! (Click on blog link for other photos.)
What fun it is to watch them splash around and have a good time! One of them is even standing on the warm heater!
Do you have a heated birdbath for the birds in the winter?
