Looking For Lunch At Hemenway Landing on Cape Cod.

We had stopped  at Hemenway for a picnic lunch when this coyote strolled by… and then another. I couldn’t get my camera out in time.  And then a few minutes later, one strolled back and then came the other. I was able to get my  iPhone out and got one quick photograph. This is it!

It was cool as we’d never seen coyotes there before! Have you?

Two Healthy Coyotes At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.

We were just commenting that things at Fort Hill had been pretty quiet lately, when this big, healthy Coyote strolled by. Phil jumped out of the car and clicked away. (Click on blog link for other photo. )

And then, as we were getting ready to leave, another one appeared on the trail. Wow! Double treat!

Diamond-Backed Terrapins At Boat Meadow Creek On Cape Cod.

If you ever walk over the bridge on Bridge Road, stop and look over the side into the creek. You never know what you might see! (Click on blog link for other photos.)

Yesterday I was walking to the beach when I looked over and saw several Diamond-backed Terrapins swimming in the creek. They are so beautiful. I love it when they stick their little nose above water.

“Northern Diamond-backed Terrapins inhabit marshes which border quiet salt or brackish tidal waters. They can also be found in mud flats, shallow bays, coves, and tidal estuaries.”

Have you seen any of these terrapins swimming in the creek? It’s such a treat to see one… never mind several!
