This is such a typical photograph of early morn on Cape Cod Bay at low tide. No one around and the boats look like they are sleeping on the sand. I took this photograph at Boat Meadow Beach on one of my early bike rides.
So peaceful…
Pretty Purple Spotted Knapweed On Cape Cod
Spotted Knapweed wildflowers, a member of the Aster Family, are growing profusely here on Cape Cod. Even though they are a pretty and unique wildflower, they are considered invasive in some states.
Spotted Knapweed has a 1″ thistle-like head with forked outer rays and black-tipped bracts. Their many-branched stems are hairy and wiry. They grow in July and August along fields and roadsides. I took this photograph along one of the trail at Fort Hill.
Have you ever seen a Spotted Knapweed?
Little Baths For Little Birds On Cape Cod
We bought a small birdbath that sits on the ground for those birds (or chipmunks!) that would like a drink of water or a little bath without having to go to the big birdbath that is 3 feet off the ground. We can’t believe how popular it is!
The little birds love it… as do the Mourning Doves and Flickers! It seems like everyone stops by at some point for a drink or a dunk.
I saw these little Finches all splashing away. So cute, don’t you think?
