It was a spectacular sunset at Boat Meadow in Eastham on Cape Cod last weekend. There was no wind so the water on the bay was like glass. The sky and the water looked like they were on fire.
Gorgeous, don’t you think?

Gorgeous Female Cardinal At My Feeder On Cape Cod
The Cardinal is one of my favorite backyard birds. We always call them “Red” and “Birdie” as they mate for life and we always see them together. Sometimes “Red” will feed “Birdie” a seed. It is so endearing to watch.
This female Cardinal landed on the pole of my bird feeder. Gorgeous bird, don’t you think?

Poisonous White Destroying Angel Mushroom Here On Cape Cod
There are so many mushrooms growing here on Cape Cod this time of year. This large, white Destroying Angel mushroom is part of the Amanita family and is also very poisonous. It grows to about 6″ tall and is entirely white. Its cap is umbrella shaped with ragged edges.
I saw so many of these mushroom at Wiley Park in Eastham but most of them had been knocked over. Did they fall by themselves? Did someone knock them over? Did a dog try to eat it?
Don’t go near them as they are deadly poisonous!
