This little White-breasted Nuthatch has moved into the birdhouse by our bedroom and greets us each morning by sticking his little head out the door. He is just adorable. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
In years past we have always had a Downy Woodpecker move into the birdhouse outside our bedroom window for the winter, but this little guy has been living there for a while. We’ll see who is there in a few weeks…
This beautiful old fire engine is again displayed outside the Eastham firehouse with its festive holiday lights. It looks so pretty as you drive down Route 6.
Love all of the festive holiday lights on Cape Cod! Each town has its own displays!
We were having a picnic breakfast at the beach yesterday when I saw a white “something” way out on beach grass. I had no idea what it was until… I got my binoculars and saw that it was a Snowy Owl. I was so excited! I had never seen one before so it was a first on my Life List!
I walked a little way down the beach so that I could get a better photograph of it, but I didn’t want to get too close. I was lucky as the sun was out and shining on him with the dark water in the background. I took a lot of photographs and this is the one I liked best.
By the time I got back to my car, the sun had gone in and he was in the shadows. I was just at the right place at the right time! Have you ever seen a Snowy Owl?
I love this photograph, looking back toward Commercial Street from Macmillan Wharf, with the Provincetown Public Library in the distance. There are still quite a few boats on the docks.
Pretty colors, don’t you think?
