Beautiful Day For A Snowy Hike By Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod!

The snow has been so pretty here on the Cape. And the trails through the woods even prettier. This was such a beautiful trail by the Salt Pond and Nauset Marsh. (Click on blog link for vertical photo.)

We have really been enjoying the first measurable snow that we’ve had this winter and getting out on the trails.

Waiting For Lunch In Our Yard On Cape Cod!

I walked by our bay window and saw a huge bird on our bird feeder, so I quickly grabbed my camera and clicked. I was so positive that it was a Red-tailed Hawk that I didn’t even think twice about it. He was sitting on top of the feeder patiently waiting for the birds which were noticeable absent.

Until… I put it on my computer and realized that it was a Cooper’s Hawk and he was a beauty! I only got one shot and this was it! Beautiful bird, don’t you think? Have you ever seen a Cooper’s Hawk?

 

Awesome Cross-Country Skiing On Cape Cod!

Yesterday was a gorgeous day with sunny skies, temps in the lower 30s and little wind. With the 2 snowstorms since last weekend, we’ve had about 7-8″ of new snow… which is perfect if you want to go cross-country skiing.

We went down to the basement and got out all of our old cross-country ski equipment. We hadn’t skied since Colorado many years ago, so this was a first for us on Cape Cod. And what fun we had! It was a perfect day to be outside and try out an old sport! No one else was there so we got to make the first ski tracks of the day!

 

Beautiful Bluebird On My Snowy Deck Yesterday On Cape Cod.

Yesterday morning I was commenting to Phil that there was a Bluebird at the feeder who was just so blue and so gorgeous… when the Bluebird grabbed a meal-worm and landed on my snowy deck about 10 feet away from me. (Click on blog link for series of photos.)

I picked up my camera and clicked away… right through the window. The series of photos goes like this: He lands on my deck and puts his meal-worm down in the snow. He looks to the left and then to the right. In the last photograph you can see that he ate the meal-worm.

And then he flew away. What a treat! He was so blue and so gorgeous!
