The reflections on the water at Cliff Pond at Nickerson State Park were so pretty the other day. The hike is always a pretty one and even better when you don’t see another person on it!

The Double-Crested Cormorants Are Back On Cape Cod!
I saw my first Double-Crested Cormorant this year at Rock Harbor a couple of days ago. What a treat! I love to watch them swim along and dive for food. They are so entertaining.
The Double-crested Cormorant is a medium-sized cormorant with an iridescent black body and an orange throat pouch. They frequently spread their wings to dry them.
This is the first one of the season for me… beautiful bird, don’t you think?
The Waves Were Perfect Yesterday For Surfing Nauset Light Beach On Cape Cod!
The waves were huge yesterday and perfect for surfing at Nauset Light Beach. There were a lot of surfers out there, some in groups and some solo, all looking for the perfect wave. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
It was a gorgeous day with temperatures in the low 50s with quite a steady breeze. It was perfect for a long walk on the beach and then a picnic in the car watching the surfers out in the water.
It is amazing that they will surf any day of the year if the conditions are right!
It Snowed Yesterday On Cape Cod!
We were more than a little surprised to wake up to a snowy scene in our yard yesterday morning. We’ve had so very little snow this winter… an inch or so in December and a dusting in Marsh. This was about 1″ too. It looked like a winter wonderland… for a little while. (Click on blog like for other photo.)
Love the little bunny tracks across our deck.
Pay It Forward Here On Cape Cod.
Phil and I were taking a morning hike the other day when we came across this little painted rock. It was so adorable. We both stopped and looked at it thinking that someone took the time to paint this rock and leave it along the trail where many people will see it during the day. (Click on blog link to see other photo.)
This little rock with its message of hope sure did bring a smile to our faces, as I’m sure it did to many others too. Thank you whoever left this along the trail. What a bright little surprise!
