We love to stop at this boat launch that overlooks Pleasant Bay as there is always something interesting to see whether it be birds, boats, wildlife, or anything. The water was so calm this day that the reflection of the dock was  just beautiful. What do you think?

There are so many places to picnic on Cape Cod where you can either the enjoy the bustling crowds or enjoy the serenity of a quiet place in the woods. This is one of our favorite picnic tables at the beginning of the trail from Doane Rock to Coast Guard Beach. What’s your favorite picnic spot?

The weather looks bright and beautiful this Labor Day weekend for a sail at Arey’s Pond. There are lots of boats in the water with their captain and crew just waiting for those perfect winds. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

I took this photograph in landscape… and then vertical. I can’t decide which one I like better. What do you think?

Raccoon Tracks In The Mud On Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod.

It was low tide when Phil and I took a walk from Doane Rock to Coast Guard Beach. When we stopped over the bridge to photograph some shorebirds foraging around in the mudflats of Nauset Marsh, I noticed these tracks in the mud under the bridge. What animal had made them? Hmmmm…

When I got home, I got my Animal Tracks book out and did a little research. Were they raccoon tracks? That was my best guess with those long toes.

I texted my friend, Stephanie who is the Executive Director at Wild Care Cape Cod and asked her for her expertise.  Yes, in fact, it was a raccoon who made those tracks. Thank you, Stephanie! You came to my rescue… again! I wonder what that raccoon was looking for…

Wild Care is a non-profit wildlife rehabilitation center on Cape Cod that rescues, treats, and releases sick, injured or orphaned animals.

This is one of the butterflies that I seem to see almost every summer at Fort Hill. It is so pretty with its unique markings. The Little Wood Satyr butterfly lives on woodland edges as well as salt marshes, which explains why we see it there on the trail at Fort Hill.

You can still see the beautiful deep Blue Chicory wildflowers blooming along the roads,  trails and out in the meadows all over Cape Cod.  A couple of interesting facts: The stemless flowers grow right on the stalk and each flower lasts only one day. I love the delicate stamen and pistils in the center.

Blue Chicory blooms through October so you still have time to see it.
