Higgins Pond In Nickerson State Park On Cape Cod Was Gorgeous!

We decided to take a hike after breakfast the other day as the weather was supposed to turn with wind, rain and a bit of snow in the forecast. (Click on blog link to see other photos.)

We had never hiked the Higgins Pond Loop Trail at Nickerson State Park, so we headed out. What a pretty trail.

It was really cloudy so I didn’t think we’d get many good photographs, but when I got home and looked on the computer, they surprised me. The  skies were beautiful!

What do you think?

 

 

The AllTrails App Has Great New Feature For Hiking On Cape Cod Or Anywhere.

We downloaded one of the hikes at Nickerson State Park and started out the other day. We were only into the hike a couple of minutes when we heard a beep on the phone app. There was an alert that we had gone “off-route.”

What a wonderful addition to the AllTrails app. You can leave it in your pocket but if you go off your intended route, it will beep and let you know so you don’t go way out of the way. So nice…

Beautiful View Of Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod.

Nauset Marsh is beautiful from any view. I took this photograph the other day at Fort Hill on the trail that goes way down to the water, past the big rock on the right from the upper parking lot.

The grass is all brown but the water was so blue and you can see Coast Guard Station in the background. If you haven’t taken this trail, try it. It’s not too hard and just gorgeous!

Beautiful Eastern Bluebird In Its Winter Colors Here On Cape Cod.

The Bluebirds are back and hungry at our bird feeders. I love watching them patiently wait their turn as it seems like only one likes to feed at a time. (Click blog link for other photo.)

This is the same Bluebird atop the feeder pole, just at different angles. Such different coloring from the summer… much more muted. Beautiful little bird!
