My son was here for a few days and we took a walk around Orleans on Cape Cod one evening looking at the Christmas lights. We decided to vote on which ones we liked best. There were a lot to choose from!
I loved these Christmas lights at the Cottage Bakery that looked like cupcakes. Pretty, don’t you think?
There, on our deck was a beautiful Carolina Wren, most noted with the white stripe over his eye.
I was putting the laundry away yesterday when I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was a little bird flitting around under the benches on the deck. It was acting like a Wren, with little jerking movements up and down, but I had never seen a Wren here…ever.
I heard a Carolina Wren last summer a few times, as they have a very distinct call, but I had never seen one.
I called Phil in and we both verified that, yes indeed, this was a Carolina Wren and on our deck. What a treat!
I got my camera an clicked away, but the only decent photographs I could get were through the screens.
Beautiful little bird, don’t you think?
We were down at Nauset Beach the other day because the skies and the clouds were just spectacular! Phil and I clicked away and compared our photos. Sometimes we get such different photos from our different perspectives.
Using different apps, we took a photograph of these benches at Nauset Beach. I can’t decide which one I like better. One looks like a warm summer day while the second one looks like a cold winter day.
What do you think? Which one do you like better?
