We still have Hydrangea blooming at our home here on Cape Cod. It’s more of a pink than a deep blue, but it’s blooming and it’s beautiful!
What do you think?

Yesterday was just gorgeous with temperatures in the mid 60s. It was a perfect day to take a walk on Coast Guard Beach, part of the National Seashore. The weather was sunny and breezy but not the least bit cold, especially for November.
I took this photograph of Phil as he was trying to photograph a Common Loon that kept diving underwater.
Just the two of us… not bad!
We were taking a walk along Coast Guard Beach and kept seeing little pods of maybe 4-5 seals hanging out together. There were many of these little groups along the way.
What made them comical was that they all seemed to be napping, lying in the water with their eyes shut. Occasionally one would take a peek to see what was going on.
All you could see was their heads bobbing in the water. Have you ever seen them like that? So funny, don’t you think?
When we used to hike Beech Forest Trail about 15-20 years ago, people would bring seed to feed the birds. They became friendly and would land on your hand anytime looking for food. The last time we hiked there, feeding the birds and wildlife was illegal as they realized the birds and animals would get dependent on the food and not fend for themselves in the winter.
We haven’t hiked there in about 15 years, so it was such a treat to walk the trail again. I put my hand out for old time’s sake (I did not have any food) and a little Black-capped Chickadee landed on my finger. Phil happened to have his camera ready.
Pretty cool, don’t you think?
