Beautiful Oyster Shell At The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary On Cape Cod

Phil and I took a nice hike at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary and ended up out on the outer beach at low tide. There were no birds to be seen but there was this one Oyster shell which I thought was just perfect!

So simple, yet so beautiful. What do you think?

Pretty Yellow Celandine Wildflower On Cape Cod.

Celandine is a leafy plant with hairy stems and tiny, deep yellow 4-petaled flowers in loose clusters. The flowers are only 3/4″ while the plants grows from 1-3 feet from May through July. I saw many of these wildflowers on the trail by the Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham in late August!

So delicate and pretty, don’ t you think?

 

 

Red Admiral Butterfly High In The Tree On Cape Cod.

I was taking a hike the other day when I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It landed high on the branch above me. I clicked away and this is what I got. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

It is a Red Admiral butterfly and very pretty, but way high up in the tree. I didn’t know that they landed so high up; I thought they would prefer a flower.
