Summer Evening At Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.

It was a beautiful summer evening at Coast Guard Beach. You could feel the difference in temperature just walking from the parking lot to the beach. It’s the perfect time to enjoy a nice cool, summer walk on the beach without too many people there.

So pretty, don’t you think? Love the pastel colors…

Beautiful Pink Crown Vetch Wildflowers On Cape Cod.

The Crown Vetch wildflowers are blooming all over Cape Cod and are just gorgeous! Crown Vetch are a bicolored flower which form golf-ball size clusters at the end of stalks. They are a creeping plant which makes a nice ground cover.

I took this photograph on the Nauset Marsh Trail past the amphitheater at the Visitors Center.

Doane Rock On Cape Cod Is Huge!.

“Doane Rock is a glacial erratic located in Eastham, Massachusetts on the grounds of the Cape Cod National Seashore. It is the largest exposed boulder on Cape Cod. It stands 18 feet (5.5 m) high and extends below the ground an estimated 12 feet.”

Doane Rock is a cool place to visit as it has so much history. There are even picnic tables and trails nearby… and, kids love it! The 2nd photo is of one of the trailsĀ  from Doane Rock to Coast Guard Beach.

Pretty View By The Salt Pond In Eastham On Cape Cod.

This was such a pretty view of the canoes next to the salt pond by the National Seashore Visitors Center in Eastham. I love that hike overlooking Nauset Marsh and then back through the woods. Have you ever taken the Nauset Marsh Trail?
