Yesterday was just a beautiful day for a hike at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. The temperatures were in the 50s and the sun was shining brightly.
As we started out on the Silver Spring Loop Trail, we were treated to the sound of a Red-bellied Woodpecker nearby. It has such a distinct call and is easy to identify.
Looking way high up in the tree, we could see this striking bird in its nesting cavity… perhaps eggs have been laid? Have you ever seen a Red-bellied Woodpecker?
The trails to the beach, whether on the ocean side or the bay side, are all so different. This was such a pretty trail up a little dune to Cape Cod Bay.
The sunsets on Cape Cod are always so pretty. I loved the fiery red colors of this sunset over the salt marsh and the reflection on the creek. What do you think?
No matter where you stop on a Cape Cod Bay beach, the views are always spectacular. I stopped at Cole Beach the other day just to walk down to the water. The smell was wonderful and the view looking down toward Wellfleet was so pretty. Food for the soul…
It’s been a long and cold winter here on Cape Cod. You can see the fishing boats are all frozen in place at Rock Harbor. Even all of the construction has come to a standstill with all of the snow and ice. And now another huge storm is coming…
I always love the view when you’re driving in to Skaket Beach and you see the little shack at the entrance. You can feel the anticipation of a wonderful time at the beach… not yet, maybe in a couple of months!
