Lots Of Turtle Nests At The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary On Cape Cod!

You can tell where the turtle nests are at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary by the little cages around them and the blue flag. The species in each cage is also identified. I saw some Painted Turtle cages and some Diamondback Terrapin nests.

It will be very interesting when the little ones hatch and try to make it back to the waters of Cape Cod Bay. I remember last year seeing some of them which the volunteers had collected to help them on their way and they were tiny, only about an inch.

Have you seen the nest cages at the Sanctuary? Or anywhere else?

Another View From Rock Harbor On Cape Cod Is Spectacular!

When you think of Rock Harbor, you always think of the channel and the iconic markers leading out to the bay.

I stopped at Rock Harbor the other day just for a minute nand the view from Rock Harbor…the other way… was spectacular! You can see the “rock” in the distance  with Wellfleet way beyond. The 2 beach chairs belonged to a couple who were most certainly enjoying the gorgeous day!

Pretty, don’t you think?

Three Poses: Great Blue Heron At Boat Meadow On Cape Cod Searching For Breakfast

Boat Meadow Beach is always my first stop on my daily 6am bike ride.  It is so beautiful and  one of my favorite places after riding over the salt marsh to the beach. You never know what you are going to see.

This morning I was treated to a Great Blue Heron searching for breakfast in the shallow waters at low tide. I clicked as he walked along the shore. And then I couldn’t decide which photograph I like best.

What do you think?
